Luciano and Lititia (adopted 12/2014)Adorable Pair

Darling Little Pair: Luciano is a male, Chihuahua x Chinese Crested Hairless. Letitia is a female, Chihuahua x Pomeranian. They are both 9 years old and have been together since they were puppies and would not cope being separated from each other.

Luciano and Letitia would love nothing more than to follow you around and sit on your lap or be carried around. They are just adorable. They are inside dogs and need full access indoors. They're housetrained. They have always lived with other dogs so they are good with them.

Letitia has a lovely, soft, medium length coat which needs regular brushing and bathing. Luciano, being part Chinese Crested, has no fur on his back so he needs some special care. He needs moisturizer and sunscreen applied daily and care taken that he wears a t-shirt if he is going to be out in the sun.

Luciano and Letitia found themselves homeless after their elderly owner died. Small dogs like them typically live to around 15 or 16 so Luciano and Letitia still have lots of time left to enjoy their new families.

The Chihuahua is a breed which is not recommended for families with young children but is ideally suited to older people, possibly those whose families have ‘left the nest’. Chi's can be spirited, clever and protective. They tend to become very attached to their owners and reserved around strangers, and especially around children if they're not used to them. Chihuahuas really need to live indoors and their diminutive size means their space and exercise needs are accommodated inside the home. However, they are active little dogs that enjoy a walk.
