Hi Tammy Welcome to the group. Pleased to have you here. I have bred several kinds of dogs in my lifetime. Let's see the Chihuahua of course,Cairn Terrier,West Highland White Terrier Australian Terrier,Poodle,Beagle and currently Mini Dachshunds. I can tell you Chihuahua's are hands down behavior wise and getting along without fighting each other. The dachshunds are sweet,love to be lap sitters but they do fight. I have been bitten several times. The poodle is a laid back dog but I just don't think they are as intelligent as the Chihuahua is. I currently have three boys. I lost my female to a vascular ca. Don't know if I helped you at all but I sure rambled.

I live in Southern Indiana, and am a wife, mother, and full time college student. I am also disabled with many different problems including diabetes, PTSD, anxiety disorder, thyroid disease, tachycardia, and many others.
I currently have a 3 year old lab mix female named Summer. She is an owner-trained service dog that has helped to make my life much easier for about two years now. Unfortunately, she is no longer able to be a service dog, and has had to retire, at my service dog trainer's request. I am also now in a wheelchair so I no longer need a big dog for mobility assist, and would rather go with a small dog instead. I am currently considering the chihuahua, the yorkie, and the toy/miniature poodle. My sister has had chihuahuas all of her life, and I have had a few when I was much younger. I love them. I am looking for a dog that can ride on my lap, do a diabetic response/alert, PTSD support, anxiety support. I would like to learn all I can about the chihuahua so that I can see if we are a good match for each other. I look forward to learning here and getting to know you all better. Tammy
