Chihuahua

🧠 Temperament

Lucy is more shy but Ethel is a total introvert. Bold and deeply bonded to one or two people.

🎾 Exercise

They love walks and cuddling. Low — short walks and indoor play are plenty.

✂️ Grooming

Easy for both smooth and long coats. Dental care is the real priority; small breeds are prone to tooth disease.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Extremely apartment-friendly and easy to carry on the subway. They get cold fast and need a sweater most of the winter.
