Welcome. I have only one dog, so can't speak from experience but have seen photos from people on Chihuahua lists that have other dogs, even seen photos of a Great Dane and a Chihuahua, who get along and play together.

Hi everyone....I'm not new to the animal world (currently have 2 small dogs, 3 indoor cats, 4 indoor bunnies and 6 birdies) and work at my local veterinarian's office. I have been given the opportunity to adopt the CHI of my dreams - a baby - 8 weeks old and I'm a little nervous. All the animals currently in my home get along splendidly - we have no aggression issues of any kind - all friendly all living harmoniously (3 cats and 2 dogs in bed with me at night...it's pretty awesome). So...I have done much research over the years - but have never been in a positon to get that chi I've always wanted. I have now been given that opportunity. I'm a little concerned about her getting along with my other dogs - as I keep reading they get along better with their 'own kind'. My current doggies are small (13 & 18 pounds -one is a poodle mix - sweet, hyper and happy go lucky, the other a pug mix - couch potatoe, low maintenance and very sweet). I don't want to upset the apple cart - and I know there are no guarantees - but I have good pets - I train and raise them well - I have pet sitters for when I work - my pets are my life - I don't do vacations or long trips. May I get your thoughts? recommendations? suggestions? I'm meeting this little one Wed night - if all goes well then she'll be coming home with me. THANK YOU...Lynda/Pittsburgh
