6 Reasons Why Chihuahuas Are ‘Hated Dogs’ – It’s Not Just Their Size
Japanese Chihuahuas are one of the most suitable pets for families because of their small size, but Chihuahuas have become 'hated dogs' for many people, and many people don't like to raise them. Let's take a look at the reasons below.
1Unattractive appearance
Japanese Chihuahuas are small and cute, but their appearance doesn't meet the aesthetic standards of many people. Many people think that the appearance of Japanese Chihuahuas resembles aliens, which is very strange, and more people find it difficult to accept their appearance.
Therefore, the owners of Japanese Chihuahuas sometimes hear opposition opinions.
2Bold
Japanese Chihuahuas are typical small bodies with big ambitions. They are very brave dogs and know that they can't beat others, so they rush forward and constantly challenge others by making combat noises.
When walking a Japanese Chihuahua, always keep it on a leash and don't let it make trouble.
3Like to attack people
Japanese Chihuahuas are very affectionate and have a strong sense of possession, and they are also very jealous. If the owner pats another dog when the Japanese Chihuahua is present, it will immediately attack the other dog and constantly bark at it. They are very jealous dogs.
Therefore, Japanese Chihuahua owners should never let other dogs approach the dog when it is present, otherwise the dog will suffer.
4Not resistant to cold
Because Japanese Chihuahuas are small in size and have weak physiques, they are afraid of the cold and should not be raised in outdoor kennels. If they get cold, they are prone to pneumonia or rheumatoid arthritis.
In winter, you need to add outerwear to keep them warm, otherwise it's easy for them to catch a cold and get sick, which will cost a lot of effort.
5Difficult to give birth
Japanese Chihuahuas are not suitable for breeding puppies. Many dogs are prone to dystocia, especially small dogs. The smaller they are, the more prone to dystocia they are. If you raise a female Japanese Chihuahua, you must ensure that it can give birth safely and accept its departure.
It is recommended to perform a spay surgery on the Japanese Chihuahua to prevent it from giving birth.
6Loud and disturb
Japanese Chihuahua owners who have raised Japanese Chihuahuas know that Japanese Chihuahuas will bark non-stop when encountering strangers, and they will bark at any movement, which will disturb themselves and neighbors.
This is also one of the reasons why many people don't want to raise Japanese Chihuahuas. Training and discipline are the main focus for raising Japanese Chihuahuas. Pet owners can use methods such as scolding + comfort + punishment + chicken jerky rewards to train Japanese Chihuahuas to be more obedient and not make trouble.
Dog raising tips:
Compared to Japanese Chihuahuas, many people prefer to raise Teddy and Pomeranian dogs, but no matter what kind of dog you raise, you need to train them properly and pay attention to their diet. If dogs eat too much salt, it will increase the secretion of tears, and if dogs produce a large amount of tears, they will eventually produce eye stains.
Therefore, to reduce the tearing and eliminate eye stains, you can choose dog food with low salt and low oil and persist in wiping the hair around the dog's eyes will help to remove eye stains. You can also feed them vegetables and fruits, which is more balanced in nutrition.
