Despite their size, they have big personalities, often displaying confidence and even stubbornness. They can be quite loyal and protective of their owners, sometimes even acting as though they're much larger than they actually are. Chihuahuas require proper socialization and training to ensure they are well-behaved and happy companions. Despite their small stature, they often have a lot of energy and enjoy playing and going for walks. They can be excellent pets for individuals or families who understand their unique needs and are willing to give them the love and attention they deserve.
