Why do people like Chihuahuas?

[pippin]

What's the attraction of these canines that look like rats? Enlighten me. :think:

[TaleWgnDg]

1. nope. no can do! LOL

[GOPisEvil]

2. Ooooooooh...you're lookin' to get banned!

Have you seen Skinner's dog Romeo? :7

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Ask Skinner.

His dog, Romeo, is a chihuahua.

[HawkerHurricane]

4. Because you can't get a rat on a leash?

Because they like hi pitched yapping noise?

[The Straight Story]

5. Because they taste so darn good! (n/t)

[underseasurveyor]

9. :-(

:spank:

[Gloria]

6. God knows.....I've got TWO!!!!

They can be real ballbusters!! Stubborn, demanding, sly, and they always win!!!!!

[underseasurveyor]

7. What's NOT to like

or love about those cute little lovable, adorable, loyal, personable, darling, brave, intelligent, wonderful little Chi's?

My, I just can't understand how these kinds of questions can even occur to someone :shrug: ;-)

:P

[tandot]

8. It is a secret. If I tell you, I'd have to kill you

:evilgrin:

Besides that, Chihuahua's will not just pick anyone to be their servant.

[newsguyatl]

10. i haven't a clue

my mother has one, and that thing is so ugly, hyper and loud, it makes me NEVER want to go home. ((well that's an excuse i can give anyway :-)


but i agree, they're ugly, they look like rats, and they AREN'T affectionate (except to the ONE person they bond with)...


sorry skinner :D

[tandot]

37. Maybe they just know who deserves their affection and who doesn't?

:evilgrin:

[BlueCollar]

11. they balance on a spit better

than a golden retriever?

+ they go better with guacamole

:evilgrin:

[DemWitch]

12. When roasted with a nice garlic and parsley butter,

red potatoes and green beans, they make a wonderful meal. Sort of like Cornish Game Hens with tails...

[BlueCollar]

13. when you roast them though

they get a little crunchy...on a spit you can baste,baste,baste

[DemWitch]

20. I stand corrected... spit cooking it is

I wonder how my BBQ rub would work on them little critters...

[BlueCollar]

21. no rub

chimichurri sauce...mmmmmmmm

[DemWitch]

22. what's chimmichurri sauce?

[BlueCollar]

23. Argentine version of bbq sauce

made with olive oil, parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, cooking wine, sea salt...

all blended up..marinade and baste...

you won't believe what it dioes to your tastebuds...

I'd post my recipe but the kitcjhen's undergoing renovations and i don't know where it is...

should be easy enough to find on the net though

[DemWitch]

24. thanks for the heads up BlueCollar...

sounds out of this world great... now I just gotta try it..

[BlueCollar]

25. Try this...I think you might like

It's not exactly what I do...but close...

The sauce is very versataile...just vary the peppers to your taste...

28. got it... thanks... guess whats for dinner tonight!

[HEyHEY]

14. I'm not a small dog fan - but I've never met one I didn't like

DOn't know why. I've always met really cool ones. Like my buddy's "Valentine" coolest little guy. When you come in the house he runs at you, actually climbs you, and starts licking your face.

[Dirty Hippie]

15. I Love Chihuahuas!

My children kid me unmercifully about my Mickee. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. But he's my little buddy. He loves cuddling up to me when he sleeps.

I once remarked to another Chi owner how catlike they are.

I doubt he would taste good. Too much piss and vinegar.

[GingerSnaps]

16. Fans of the Taco Bell Dog or Ren & Stimpy?

I was watching an episode of Ren & Stimpy and Ren gets mistaken for a Rat and he pulls his pedigree papers out to prove that he isn't a rat. That's the moment that I fell in love with Chihuahuas.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. My best friend has the best one I've ever met.

True Story: After he was born, they accidentally dropped him on his head. He was the runt. They thought for awhile after the fall that he was going to be retarded, but they were wrong. He's a GREAT dog. By the way, I hate Chihuahuas.

18. I have two.

They are the most loyal, affectionate, good-tempered, and responsive dogs I have ever had. Ours look nothing like rats, by the way.

I can tolerate a lot of the dissing and bashing that goes on in DU, but I will not stand for anyone saying nasty things about a Chihuahua (or any dog for that matter).

Some people don't like dogs? Some people don't deserve dogs.

[Djinn]

19. I used to just think they were freaky looking

then I met a couple and am now convinced they're satan's favourite dogs, horrible yappy scrawny things they always look like there's something seriously congenitally wrong with them - why bother getting a dog at all if you want something this small, ugly and useless get a rat, they are atleast affectionate?

[nuxvomica]

26. Because they are cute little buggers?

Just a guess. Tiny, yappy little dogs can be annoying as hell but they're cute as all get-out nonetheless.

[solinvictus]

27. Because they're the best breed of dog!!

They are loyal, smart, funny as hell, and are damn cute. Here are my two:

[solinvictus]

29. And another....

[UTUSN]

30. Because They're Dogs

Met two totally cute ones:

One, this elderly lady was saying she didn't live alone, that she lived with "Frank" and called out, "Frank! Come here!" In comes this ANCIENT Chihuahua, who apparently had arthritis, and with every step he was going "Ooooo, ooooo..."

Then there was this other one, being held by its owner. I petted it and the owner started to hand it to me to hold, and I SWEAR the dog said, "Ohhh nooo....."

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. The longhaired ones are adorable!

[Rocinante]

32. Because...

This little gentleman hates my republican brother-in-law.

[Ivan Sputnik]

33. Not sure, but they're really fashionable now . . .

[Djinn]

34. out of all the ones I've seen

Paris Hilton's is the scrawniest, eye buggingist & vilest - but then they say pets take after their owners!

[St. Jarvitude]

35. People think they crap tacos

:shrug: I don't know. They're pretty ugly and annoying, if you ask me.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. This IS a very dangerous post

Because they are cute and very engaging little dogs. I have had a rat for a pet and they can also be affectionate and endearing, but I would choose a Chihuahua, any day. I guess it's a matter of preference, but I think that they are awfully cute and have quite the personality. Also, like my tiny dog, they are very portable, LOL!
