Chihuahua
🧠 Temperament
She is good with other dogs and cats. Bold and deeply bonded to one or two people.
🎾 Exercise
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.
