Chihuahuas

5. Can my Chihuahua sleep outside?

Preferably not! Not only do they feel the cold, but they are a very social breed who crave your company. They are much happier inside with the family than outside in a kennel. Having said that, many breeders will house their Chihuahuas outdoors in a kennel, simply due to the numbers. However, they are intimately aware of their dogs needs. The kennel area should be especially designed for Chihuahuas. For a single dog with a family, the answer must be no. If you feel that a dog should live outside, please choose another breed.
