What Chihuahuas are like to live with
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 Milton Keynes?
With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Chihuahuas on this page are with Midlands Dog Rescue (1) and Wellingborough Dog Welfare (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 1 of the 2 Chihuahuas listed in and around Milton Keynes as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
