Teeny-tiny Dex (just 5.5 pounds!) is a Chihuahua through and through. For the ardent Chi lover, he’s a dream.
Dex is simultaneously nervous and completely full of himself (quite a feat!). He adores being carried around, he thinks he weighs 100 pounds when he meets other dogs, and he attaches himself to one person and will bond like glue to them, and (possibly) only them. Dex is about two years old.
The ideal home for Dex will have someone who’s around a lot (he sometimes cries when left alone), and he likely would not be a good choice for a household with young kiddos. He hasn’t been nippy with us, but we could easily picture him protecting “his” person’s lap once he’s settled.
Dex will make an excellent companion for anyone who understands the Chihuahua personality and doesn’t expect him to be lovey-dovey with strangers. He won’t be. In fact, he’s going to bark at them and make them question why you are sharing your home with Satan’s own dog. But for his special person, he’ll be the BFF you never knew you were missing, and he’s an utter delight.
