Our Chihuahua, Chuy has IVDD so we have learned a lot over the years about how to treat disc disease when he has a flare up.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Crate Train a Chihuahua<\/h2>\n<p>Crate training is essential for raising a Chihuahua. We keep Chuy in his crate when we are away from home because it keeps him safe and puts our mind at ease while we are gone.<\/p>\n<h2>Are Chihuahuas Good with Babies?<\/h2>\n<p>Some Chihuahuas are not good with babies. We had Chuy for years before we had children. It was extremely important that we prepared Chuy for the arrival of our daughter and that we teach her how to interact with him.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Did the Chihuahua Originate?<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"blast mmt-sentence\" aria-hidden=\"true\">The Chihuahua is named after the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"blast mmt-sentence\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Chihuahua is the largest state in Mexico and it borders Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico in the United States.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"blast mmt-sentence\" aria-hidden=\"true\">They are the oldest breed of dog found in North America.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Adventures with Your Chihuahua<\/h2>\n<p>One of my most favorite things to do is to explore and go on adventures with my Chihuahua, Chuy.\u00a0 We love kayaking, hiking, and going to the beach. Just because your Chihuahua is little doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t be adventurous!<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/irresistiblepets.net\/category\/chuy-the-chihuahua\/\">all of our adventures<\/a> here with Chuy as we post them to the blog.<\/p>\n<h2>Must Haves for Raising a Chihuahua<\/h2>\n<p>These are some of my must have items for raising a Chihuahua.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>What questions do you have about raising a Chihuahua?
