Fidget (Bed46567)

*******WARNING CUTENESS ALERT********
This is the very adorable Fidget! I'm the quietest of the three but still a ball of fun and fluff. I'm inquisitive but tend to go slower at exploring than the other two. I love being cradled like a baby and stroked under my chin, if I knew how to purr I think I would! I'm just too cute for words!

Please email Safe Broome with expressions of interest in this cute little fella! broome@safe.asn.au

Chihuahuas are comical, entertaining, and loyal little dogs, absolutely brimming with personality – often a quirky and eccentric personality unmatched by any other breed. Other than that generalization, Chihuahuas are extremely variable. You can find individuals who are lively or placid, bold or timid, feisty or mellow, confident or nervous, stubborn or eager to please!
Chihuahuas need a lot of socialisation and training. They often have a label for being nasty dogs but in truth this is mostly due to humans condoning bad behaviour (as with any other breed really, but Chi's are treated more like toys than dogs so seem to get away with it more). Chihuahuas tend to bond to one person or their family unit and can become standoffish or aggressive to outsiders. It is important that this behaviour is recognised as unacceptable and dealt with immediately.
Chihuahuas are not ideally suited to families with young children... amongst various reasons, one is they break easily! They also have a very long life span (15-22yrs!) so getting a puppy for an elderly family member as a companion may not be in the dog’s best interests later on in life.
Please take these points into consideration before applying to adopt a Chi breed.
