Chihuahua Personality

  • Bold
  • Sassy
  • Devoted
  • Alert

Most often The Gentle Dreamer

The Chihuahua is fearless devotion in the smallest possible body — bold, sassy, and utterly bonded to its chosen person. They pick a favorite and guard that bond fiercely, sizing up strangers with suspicion and their human with pure adoration. Tiny, mighty, and completely sure of themselves.

Personality types a Chihuahua often is

That devoted-to-one, particular, wary-of-strangers nature is why Chihuahuas often land as The Gentle Dreamer, The Lone Wolf, or The Shadow Strategist.

Of course, every Chihuahua is an individual — breed is a head start, not a personality. The only way to know your dog's type for sure is to ask them.
