chihuahuas & moving
«

Hi all, I was hoping I might be able to get some opinions on how well chihuahuas handle moving/ adjust to new homes. I read somewhere it was not well. Here is my current situation, my little brother (8yrs) has a chi puppy (12weeks) and she has a great little set up at my moms. Fenced in back yard, bed, toys, etc. She is outside about 70-80% of the time and is allowed in the house the remaining time. I am really wanting to bring her to live with me, but I live in a 3rd floor apartment. The reason I am wanting to get her is she gets very little attention from anyone over there. Although they don't do a bad job, I really think I could do a better job taking care of her. So I am unsure of whether to leave her where she is, it's familiar, cozy and she's almost potty trained there, but she receives little attention OR bring her to live with me in a 3rd floor apt., but she would be around people more. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!! How much time do chi puppies really need to be around humans/their owners?? Thank you!!!!

Hi, First of all Welcome to DogChihuahuas. Im sure you will love it here, now getting back to the dillema you have, from reading your post you appear very caring, loving and so if you decide to have her with you, she will have the attention and nerturing that chihuahuas do like, and i would say personally they are a peoples dog, rather then an outside yard dog and lonely perhaps.
I would say though if she comes with you in an apartment do make sure its safe, if there are like balconys etc. Also regular outings for walks would be appreciated as well, but all in all i think in time the adjustment can go smoothly, and just plenty of love and attention, she should be fine.
I hope this has been of some help, and maybe the other members here have experienced the same thing and will pass on there advice too.
Please keep us updated to the progress, and i wish you all the luck and wishes.
take care
regards
Sarah
