A miniature chihuahua puppy, though very small, is easily kept and will be a great companion. He is very stable and emotionally secure. They are sturdy but fragile if handled roughly or dropped. These dogs don't know their own size, though, as they will bark incessantly when 

strangers or other dogs are in their vicinity. You might say they are like alert alarms for humans.

Having said that, it is not recommended that any small dogs be left in the hands of children as they may drop them and cause severe injury. Even taking them for a walk can spell trouble as it is easy to step on them. 

The Chihuahua makes a great pet for elderly folks because they will treat them with kindness and safety at all times. Chihuahuas love to jump into your lap and they want lots of fondling. A Chi will adapt well to apartment living as well.

You can expect your Chihuahua to want to sleep in your bed with you as well. 

The miniature or teacup Chihuahua is easily kept clean as he can fit into your bathtub or sink with no difficulty. In addition the short hair variety needs little grooming. 

The miniature Chihuahua gets along with other dog breeds although a very large dog may hurt him unintentionally.

Most Chihuahuas love to travel with you in cars and other conveyances. They will sit calmly in the back seat or on the floor.

They are also easy to take long distances in airplanes. Most airlines will allow you to take dogs under 20 pounds into the cabin of the plane with you if you have them in some type of kennel. The kennel can be made of cloth or plastic. The dog will be very quiet during the flight so you don't need to worry about disturbing other passengers.
