Chihuahua is not only a cute small pet dog, but also has the hunting and guarding instincts of a large dog, with a terrier-like temperament. They are petite in size and do not have high requirements for living space. Basically, the space of a normal residence is enough for them to play. There are many people who are attracted to this kind of dog. So, how to choose a Chihuahua? What are the skills that must be mastered to choose a Chihuahua? Let’s learn about it with the editor.

Observe whether the Chihuahua likes to get along with people, and do not choose a neurotic, timid, emotionally unstable Chihuahua.

Attention should be paid to the Chihuahua's bones, such as whether the skull is deformed, whether the spine is bent, whether the jaw is cracked, whether the hip and knee joints are dislocated, etc. It is best to touch the skull, maxilla, and mandible with your hands, and then feel the vertebrae and limb bones along the cervical vertebrae. Then let the Chihuahua exercise to see if it walks and runs gracefully or has a limp. It is best to throw a paper ball or a toy a little far in front of the Chihuahua when the dog is concentrating, and guide it to run or flutter forward to see if its reaction is agile and the movement is flexible, then you can judge the bones of the limbs. Is there a problem. Many Chihuahuas with bone problems are caused by inbreeding and genetics, so they should not be kept. These faults must be observed by oneself, not what can be explained on the pedigree certificate.

After choosing a Chihuahua, ask about the feeding situation. If you want to change the food, you must reduce the feeding amount. After the Chihuahua gets used to it, increase the feeding amount again. If you have not been vaccinated, wait until the Chihuahua is well conditioned before going. This way you have a healthy Chihuahua. Pay attention to the genetic diseases of puppies When purchasing puppies, be sure to observe whether the genetic genes of young Chihuahuas have infectious diseases, otherwise, the young Chihuahuas bought at a high price will be harmful to the family. Missing teeth Take the spotted chihuahua as an example, many spotted chihuahuas have missing teeth, which is the result of inbreeding. Biting Some young Chihuahuas are extremely unstable in temperament and mood. If the previous generation of Chihuahuas has bitten people, the next generation of Chihuahuas is also prone to this phenomenon. Eyelashes inverted The inverted eyelashes will stab the eyes of the young Chihuahua, and it will be more serious after one year old. Generally, there are more Shar Pei and Chow Chow dogs.

Chihuahuas may be the most suitable companion animals for humans, their average age is 11 to 15 years, and can even reach more than 20 years. We can live with us for such a long time, so we must consider carefully when choosing, whether to choose a large Chihuahua or a small Chihuahua, long-haired or short-haired, male or female. Pets should be raised from an early age. It is best to choose a Chihuahua from 2 months to 6 months old, which is easy to train and cultivate feelings; if there is someone at home to take care of, you can choose a long-haired Chihuahua. They need frequent grooming and trimming, especially changing Hair season, especially good care, so that they can become a lovable and attractive pet dog price; choosing a male or female dog is also something you need to consider, male dogs usually Larger and more lively than the bitch, the bitch is more affectionate, homelike, and especially fond of children.

Usually the way we choose pets is: the breeding farm of the pet company, the pet store or the purchase from friends. Chihuahuas in the regular sector can only provide a pedigree certificate, which includes: Chihuahua breed name, Chihuahua name, date of birth, gender, coat color, breeder, and immunization time. In this way, you can learn about the origin of the puppy Chihuahua and whether it is vaccinated or not. When buying a Chihuahua, we must observe carefully, do not act too hastily, and pay attention when observing:

Both ears and eyes are very important, and should be carefully checked to see if there is anything wrong. Both ears are flexible, the ear canal should be clean, there is no odor, and the inside of the ear is pink for health. There should be no dander on the tip of the ear to prevent parasites. If you often flick your ear to the side, there may be something wrong with the ear. The skin should be soft and elastic, not induration, hypertrophy, and pay attention to whether the skin has parasites such as lice, scabies, or other skin diseases. Chihuahuas with skin diseases or parasites will not be able to bear it in a short period of time, scratching the lesions with their claws, and more than once, many times in a row. You have to see clearly where it scratches, whether there is erythema, and then careful inspection will reveal that there is something wrong with the skin.

Special attention should be paid to the underside of the Chihuahua's tail. If the yellow mark is a sign of recent diarrhea or diarrhea, it should not be purchased. Also look for any redness or ulceration of the anus.

Examine the Chihuahua's footpads. Soft and not chapped is a healthy Chihuahua.

If it is a healthy Chihuahua, it can accompany its owner for up to 20 years, so it is very important to choose a healthy Chihuahua. In fact, whether you choose Chihuahuas or other breeds dogs, most of them are carefully observed from the eyes, ears, skin and other parts of the dog, and require the other party to provide a pedigree certificate to treat the dog The dog's own information to make specific confirmation. But for the more delicate small dogs like the Chihuahua, you need to be more serious.
