HI everyone my name is hayley i live in the uk in liverpool and here in my house i live in a zoo full of animals

i have a dog (chihuahua)
a three legged cat
6 rats
and 6 mice

i am 15 years old and act like a 35 year old.

i first got my dog called paco about 8 years ago because of threats of getting his neck snapped by his hateful owner, he is now oldish about 10 but still going strong. He is a full bred predigree and his father won crufts best of breed years ago.

could you tell me anything about chihuahuas ie history, health, problems in the breed. as even though i have had him for a while i still dont now anything about them. all that he is a toy breed and a spirted little dog with a grumpy attitude to new people:(

thanks

He is an applehead. He looks sable from the front...any side pictures? Sable means that he has a light undercoat with dark tips.
