Chihuahua Puppies!
Vito is a Chihuahua. His breed is the smallest breed and may be the oldest breed in America. Chihuahuas originate from the Chihuahua region in Mexico. His ancestors may have descended from a larger ancient breed that was prized by the Aztec. Chihuahuas today are smaller in stature and have a smaller, but muscular body structure.
Vito has a short coat with black, tan and a little white while other puppies have a longer coat and can be anywhere from fawn to black and everything in between. They can also have splashes of color. The longer hair can even be slightly curly or straight. Grooming this little fellow is important as he has an undercoat that does shed. A bath once a month using a mild shampoo will do for this little guy. Watch out for those ears though he will easily get an infection if care is not taken. He also does not like the cold. Vito is definitely an indoor dog.
While Vito is more energetic and playful, his sister is more laid back and mellow. Each puppy has his or her own unique personality. Chihuahuas have been described as energetic and graceful and has human-like expressions. They out live any other breed. While Vito may not suit your family, one of his littermates might be a perfect match. A Chihuahua in general does not do well with very young children and may show aggression towards them. It is important to have a well-socialized puppy brought into a family with young children.
Vito will prefer a harness as to a collar. His delicate bone structure may be compromised if a collar and leash is used. He enjoys a walk in the park or around the yard. He also enjoys dog appropriate toys and playing with you.
Chihuahuas are a special breed and Vito is a very sweet puppy. He will make an excellent companion and bring his owner joy and happiness.
