Question
well im looking for a small dog that doesnt need too much grooming. i live in a small house. with regular short walks. i took a test to see what dog fits me and it said a long haired chihuahua. i was pretty happy with my results but one problem. if i go live back at my old house and bring my dog, my other dog would get jealous and she does (shes a terrior of sumsort). my old dog was maybe 8-10 inches. do u think they would get along? well plz reply

Answer
Your old dog and the new one would have to smell each other and work out who is going to be the boss, but after that they should get along just fine. Chihuahua's are very small dogs (easy to step on them) so you may want to consider a slightly larger breed. Also long haired chi's require grooming every so often to keep their long hair in good shape. I would suggest getting a short haired chihuahua or either a short haired minature dachshund. I suggest the following website where you can research the different breeds and find out lots of information about the different dogs, as well as see what they look like. Go to www.akc.org and then click on breeds. Hope this helped and feel free to ask anymore questions you may have.
