Chihuahua

Does anybody have any advice on the above doggy friend?  I'm thinking of getting a new little dog and wondered if this particular breed is a good idea? Thanks.

Great characters but some people forget to treat them like dogs who need walks, training routine etc. and treat them like toys.

here's what looks like a good website for info and links

I do know that they can suffer from fragile skulls ans slipping patellas, so as with any other dog, get info on where to find a reputable breeder or rescue organisation
