Chilier Activity Requirements

The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog in the world. They are originally from Mexico and were thought to be sacred by the Mayans. They are still devoted to their humans, but are also fiercely independent. Because of their small size, Chihuahuas do not require a lot of exercise. They are happy to entertain themselves, and a daily walk or short play session is enough to keep them happy and healthy. Due to their small size, Chihuahuas are not recommended for families with small children. However, they do make wonderful companions for adults and the elderly. If you are looking for a small dog that doesn’t need a lot of exercise and is easy to travel with, a Chihuahua may be a good choice for you.
