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.

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Chihuahuas on this page are with RATS Animal Rescue (1) and Stokenchurch 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.
"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.
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.
It depends on the dog, not the breed. None of the 2 Chihuahuas listed in and around Luton is marked by its rescue as able to live with children today. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
The Chihuahuas listed in and around Luton today are with RATS Animal Rescue at Buntingford, about 18 miles away (1) and Stokenchurch Dog Rescue at Stokenchurch, about 26 miles away (1); each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, 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. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.
No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Chihuahua on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 2 Chihuahuas listed in and around Luton today are with RATS Animal Rescue at Buntingford, about 18 miles away (1) and Stokenchurch Dog Rescue at Stokenchurch, about 26 miles away (1), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. If you searched "chihuahua puppies for sale Luton", 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.
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 2 Chihuahuas listed in and around Luton today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is RATS Animal Rescue at Buntingford, about 18 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. 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.
Not right now: none of the 2 listed in and around Luton is under a year old by its listed age. Puppies do get listed, so check back or look at the adults, whose rescues can tell you much more about their character.
