Why do you want a chihuahua? If you personally don�t want one, but your children do, remember that there is a good chance that the novelty will wear off and it will become more your chihuahua than theirs.

While most dogs shed, poodles are actually incapable of shedding. That fact makes them excellent house pets, since they don't get the furniture covered in fur. Also, due to the nature of their fur and the fact that they do not shed, most people with dog allergies aren't allergic to poodles.
Also, consider whether you can afford to spend both the money and the time involved. Remember that, while you may be able to get a chihuahua for little or no upfront money, you are still going to be responsible for several years of spending money on things such as food, toys and medical care.

As a result, it�s important to test how the chihuahua relates to your family and learn as much about the chihuahua as possible before taking it home.
