I did. I'm seriously thinking of switching breeds. However, I've been
collecting yorkie & schnauzer stuff for 30 years. I'm not sure I have room for
all the Chihuahua stuff. They are certainly a lot less maintenance as far as
grooming goes. Until about 2 yrs ago my little yorkie Willow was in full coat
complete with topknot. I spent more time on her daily grooming than I did on
my own! Now both are in puppy coats but that still requires clipping every
couple of months, plus the same thing for the schnauzer to not look like a
sheep. These Chis are a piece a cake! Even Stella's long hair. Yup, I'm
bitten.
