With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Chihuahuas on this page are with Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary (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?
