Information About the Chihuahua Fox Terrier Mix
The Chihuahua fox terrier mix is basically a cross between a Chihuahua and a Fox Terrier. While both of those dogs don’t really seem like they should actually be mixed, they really are really quite different animals. The Chihuahua usually called a Chihuahua in the United States, is usually a tiny little dog that sits up tall but isn’t very hardy.
The most common Chihuahua breed is the Standard, although there are also others such as the Toy, Miniature, and Bandog. These aren’t really purebred Chihuahua but are more like designer dogs with the Chihuahua name on them.
This is the perfect type of dog for someone who has training needs. They are extremely intelligent and very curious. Their temperament makes them great for those who want a dog that isn’t too aggressive but still wants to work with people. The Chihuahua mixes have a sweet disposition and are usually quite friendly. And because they are so beautiful, they will make a great addition to any family.
But you have to remember that these dogs do cost a lot.
When you get the puppy, you may be able to find a good one at a low cost and then choose to raise that puppy. But most often, the Chihuahua mix becomes a serious problem for the new owner, especially if the new owner doesn’t know how to care for it properly. Chihuahua mixes need special care to thrive, and raising them isn’t inexpensive. The best way to avoid having to spend a lot of money on a Chihuahua that won’t grow into a healthy, happy adult is to find a breeder who offers a healthy, happy Chihuahua.
Just like any small dog, Chihuahua mixes must be taken to obedience classes to properly train them. If you don’t do this, they will tend to think that everyone is mean and will therefore have a tendency to be aggressive toward you and other people. Chihuahua mixes are not known for being submissive, so you have to be sure before bringing them home that they are the right dog for you and your family. You don’t want to bring a Chihuahua mix home if you want a docile, small dog.
These dogs also shed a lot. Chihuahua mixes have coats that are very oily and can cause a buildup of this oil if they get wet. But the oily coats along with proper grooming keep their coats looking smooth and shiny.
The Chihuahua mix is prone to many health problems.
However, the cost of the health problems due to their small size can be mitigated by regular visits to the veterinarian. Their nails also grow very fast, so they chew on things very easily. Always make sure your Chihuahua has their toenails trimmed every three weeks or so, as they can accidentally damage their feet. This could cause a lot of pain and bleeding.
Just like small dogs, Chihuahuas shed often. This shedding can sometimes become excessive, causing the owner to feel overwhelmed. To avoid having too many clumps of hair in the house, always make sure your Chihuahua’s coats are clipped regularly. Also make sure the Chihuahua has fresh water all the time, as they will lick it clean in no time!
Some Chihuahua mixes do better than others when it comes to training. Some become very easily trainable while others require much more patience and care. If you are considering buying a Chihuahua, you may want to ask the breeder for advice on the ideal Chihuahua to buy based on their experience and knowledge of the breed. The Internet is also a great way to research any potential Chihuahua for sale, so make sure you have all your information before going to the breeder.
