Chimation Temperament and Behaviour
The Chimation is a cheerful, playful, and high-energy dog that is best suited for an active owner. They are curious and eager to learn, and excel at both agility and obedience. They are loyal to their owners, but can be territorial and protective of their territory. They are good-natured and get along well with children.
Chimation Activity Requirements
The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog, and they are also known for the “Chihuahua Shuffle.” They tend to be quite sedentary, and they don’t need much space to stretch their legs. A daily play session or a short walk is a good way to keep your Chihuahua happy and healthy. They do not need a lot of exercise, but they do need some time outside. Consider taking your Chihuahua out with you on your daily errands or walks. If you are looking for a small, portable companion, consider a chihuahua. They are easy to train, and they enjoy spending time with their owners.
