The Royal Kennel Club calls the Chihuahua "the smallest breed in the world" and sums it up as a "huge personality in a tiny frame". It describes the breed as "bold and saucy in temperament" and "outgoing and confident". The breed takes its name from the Mexican state where it became fashionable in the late 19th century.

Where can I adopt a Chihuahua in Huddersfield?

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Chihuahuas on this page are with Aireworth Dogs in Need (2), Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary (1) and Rotherham Dog Rescue (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

What is the difference between apple-head and deer-head Chihuahuas?

"Apple head" comes from the breed standard: The Royal Kennel Club asks for a well-rounded "apple dome" skull with a moderately short, slightly pointed muzzle. "Deer head" is an informal name for a longer face and does not appear in the standard. The Royal Kennel Club's Breed Watch lists an excessively short muzzle as a point of concern. For a rescue dog, head shape is a look, not a type: ask the rescue about the dog's breathing, teeth and eyes instead.

Is a Chihuahua a good dog for a flat?

It can be. The Royal Kennel Club lists a flat as a big enough home for the breed, with a small or medium garden, and up to 30 minutes of exercise a day. Whether a particular dog will settle in a flat, with neighbours and shared stairs, is something the rescue can tell you.

Are Chihuahuas good with children?

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 2 of the 4 Chihuahuas listed in and around Huddersfield as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7.

Are there Chihuahua puppies for sale in Huddersfield?

If you searched "chihuahua puppies for sale Huddersfield", the Chihuahuas here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free Chihuahua to a good home in Huddersfield, or one under £500?

All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
