Emiliano's coat is long and thick. Yet, I only brush him once a week or so. People can't believe he is low maintenance. The only thing that's a problem is blowing him dry after a bath, that does take a while.

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. ---- Webville Lady <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Dana: > > Yup you caught the "Chi" bug...........all you have to do is live with one > and you are bitten. > > Great pictures. > > Hugs, > Linda > > > > > ________________________________ > From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > To: chihuahuas <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 5:38 PM > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Not New...
