Many people think that adopting an adult Chihuahua will be easier than raising a puppy, but that is not always true. Yes, sometimes you will have an easier time with an adult making the transition, but in many cases, adopting an adult is similar to adopting a puppy, and can even be more challenging for a number of reasons. Adult Chihuahuas already know an established routine, and have formed bonds with us. So, sometimes, it is difficult for them to change their routine. They will form bonds with their new families, but it may take more time than with a puppy. Also, even the best house trained adult may regress when going into a new home. For this reason, we will be equally as picky about where we place our adults as we are about where we place our puppies. You must be aware that you are not necessarily getting a "ready made" companion with these babies, and be willing to put in the work that may be required to help these precious dogs settle in to your family well. Believe me, these dogs are well worth the work! They have tons of love and affection to give the right family.
