The Complete Guide to Chihuahuas

by David Anderson

Overview

Easily one of the most recognizable dogs in the world, Chihuahuas are easy to identify. If you ask someone what they think of Chihuahuas, you are almost certain to get a strong reaction either in favor of them or against them. They can be an incredibly polarizing breed.

One thing that most people agree on about Chihuahuas is that they don't appear to understand just how small they are. Most Chihuahuas don't exhibit much (or any fear), going up and barking at a Great Dane or Mastiff. It's impossible not to shake your head at their antics.

This guide will walk you through the in's and out's of owning this phenomenal breed. Whether you're someone playing with the idea of getting a Chihuahua, or have already embarked on your journey with your pup, this guide will offer an insight into how to create a happy and fulfilling life for you and your Chi. This book will answer all your questions such as:

Is a Chihuahua the right dog for me?
I brought my Chihuahua home. What now?
How can I best train my Chihuahua?
What are some common mistakes should I avoid?


They can be difficult to train, and their personalities tend to match their parents' personalities. But with early socialization, they can make fantastic additions to any family.

Topics covered in the book include:

Mischievous Charmers – the Defining Characteristics
Breed History and Characteristics
The Ideal Home

Given their small size, Chihuahuas are a surprisingly entertaining dog – largely because they don't realize just how small they are. They tend to be wary of strangers, but when it comes to their family, they are one of the most loyal breeds. They love their families and want to protect them just as much as any large breed.

Chihuahuas are not for everyone, but if you bring one into your home, you will have a dog that will love you unconditionally.

Growing up on a farm, David was exposed to all sorts of animals; raising Cattle, Sheep, Hogs, Horses, and Chickens, as well as caring for his families dogs and cats.

"Some of my favorite memories as a child involve running through the pasture with my dogs, and lazy summer days spent lying in the grass with all the animals" Anderson said. "As a young boy I really wanted to be a veterinarian, and while I eventually chose a different path, my passion for animals never wore off."

That passion for animals continued as he graduated from college and started to make his way into the world. Mr. Anderson launched LP Media, a company that is dedicated to promoting and educating the public about the joys of pet ownership. The company started small, but quickly grew and now helps over a million pet owners every month.

"My work is never done" he said. "I love helping other people and providing great resources that they can use to help better their lives, and the lives of their pets. I plan on continuing to create great products that help pet owners for as long as I can!"
