the few chihuahua's i've seen.. most of them were from owners who did only put them in their purse, but didn't care for them as a pet.. just some sort of hip fashion..
i mean i'm not trying to be a hypocrite, i do to put my dogs in their own doggie purse, but i do not just treat them like they are some cool hip thing to do, put them in a purse.. as you can tell i love my pups very much. i do agree that it depends on the pup, socialization etc.. my pups aren't snappish at all..
