Walking a Chihuahua
Chihuahuas are the smallest breed; expect frequent, short potty breaks with a tiny bladder.
The smallest breed carries full attitude on walks. A properly fitted harness protects their delicate trachea. Cold weather means a coat is essential for most Chihuahuas. Short, frequent outings work better than one long session. Despite their size they can be bold and reactive toward larger dogs — awareness and calm handling on walks matters.
