Chihuahuas represent small dogs that can become lively and loud. The AKC notes they are also known for loyalty, politeness, and generosity. Chihuahuas possess a "terrier temperament," meaning they demonstrate intelligence but may confuse puppy play with adult behavior. Even if they fit in a purse, they can become noisy. Strict discipline proves necessary for optimal results with these tiny dogs.
