I have a chi, who is 9 months old, he is good with me and somtimes my son, but when he is done playing he will growl or snap at you. also when we have someone over, he runs screaming to another room like someone is beating him, I have never had a dog act like this, and thinking about getting rid of him, but I don't think I could find someone who will take him. I called chihuahua rescue group, but they wanted 100 dollars to take him. I thought that was stupid. they said it was to have him neutered. I tried to house break him, thats impossible to. any advice would help.
He is 9 months old, I have tried to crate train him, but he just uses the crate as a bathroom, I have had a few dogs over the years, but this one is the only one I have never been able to house break, I had a cocker for 17 years, which is very old, but had to put him down when he got cancer, he was very hard to house break, but he was house broken after awaile it just took alot of time. I do spend tons of time with him, I also have a mini pin, who is very sweet and loves everyone, I was hoping my chi, would follow suit and learn from him. but my son is 6 and my concern would be a bite to the face or somewhere eles, if the dog got angry enough. To the person who suggested treats when someone new comes over, I did that with my sister, and it did work great. it took a few days but he then allowed her to play with him. so thats a great idea.

I had german shephard but we gave her away because she was too big...so we gave our chihuahua the same toys we gave to the german shephard but she has no interest in them or those squeaky toys. She shows alittle interest in tennis balls but she gets bored after like, a second.

I'm going to be a first time chihuahua dog owner... and i have a choice between a male or a female...from your experience which is better to take care of?
by the way, this are pups..only 6wks old.....any special foods and how old do they have to be to be spayed?

So our dog Kisses just had 6 puppies, she a Chihuahua mix of some kind. The father Perdo is all Chihuahua. As far as I know there are 4 males and 2 females. All of them are white, tan, or a mix of both. Any suggestions?
I'm not with the puppies, I haven't seen them yet. I'm going for a visit in February and I promised my dad some names.

Websites or stores. Right now he's about 2 pounds and wears an XXS. I'm having a hard time finding cute stuff for boys.
My Chihuahua is almost 3 1/2 months now. He still has some growing to do... I think he'll be 5-6 pounds full grown.
