CLEAR ALLThe long-haired Chihuahua is considered to be one of the most ancient dog breeds. They are very affectionate and passionately loyal to their owners. These dogs aren’t fazed by their small size; they are bold, outgoing, and very playful!
These dogs are highly active and very keen learners. Dog owners adore the sweet nature of these miniature canines. They will happily curl up on your lap or under blankets after a long day. They are also just as happy to dash around the garden with you.
Unlike the short-haired variety of this breed, long-haired Chihuahuas are fairly resistant to cold temperatures. However, they should still be protected in harsh, chilly conditions. They do well in both apartments and large houses and will continuously shower you with affection if allowed.
These dogs have a flat or slightly wavy coat that comes in a range of colours from fawn to shiny black. They stand with a graceful alertness that is exaggerated by their pointed ears and large round eyes. These playful characters can make you fall in love with them with just one look.

The long-haired Chihuahua is a small, compact breed with lean shoulders, short muscular legs, and a medium-length tail that flares out high above the back. Their front legs are straight and positioned well under the chest which allows for a lot of flexibility and movement. The long-haired Chihuahua has a well-rounded head with large, pointed ears that sit at an angle of around 45 degrees to the skull. They have short but slightly pointed muzzles and large round eyes set wide apart on the head. Their eyes are usually dark or ruby coloured but lighter colours are accepted as a breed standard. These dogs can weigh anything between 1.3-2.7kg and can reach heights of up to 23cm.
The long-haired Chihuahua boasts a medium-length, wavy coat with a natural sheen. The coat can come in a range of colours including black, tan, cream, gold, and sable. These dogs have prominent ear tufts that should drop below the ears, as well as a substantial ruff that engulfs the neck and chest. Their tails are sickle-shaped, pointing upwards and then fluffing out at the ends. Some long-haired Chihuahuas have a slight curl in their tails.
The long-haired Chihuahua is known to be fiercely loyal to its owners, often bonding strongly to one or two members of the family. They love to curl up on their owners' laps but can become feisty and protective when strangers are around. For this reason, Chihuahuas must be socialised early on to prevent any unwanted guard-like behaviours from developing. Saying that, these dogs are a joy to be around due to their highly playful natures and clownish personalities. You will never be bored with a Chihuahua in your home! They particularly love to dive under the covers with you at bedtime, so be prepared for the end of your bed to be occupied by your miniature canine companion! Long-haired Chihuahuas are also incredibly curious animals and are known to be a very intelligent breed that is always eager to please. So, they will love the attention that comes from clicker training and learning new commands.
Chihuahuas can be fairly yappy and noisy, especially around strangers, so you will need to get a handle on this behaviour early on to prevent it from escalating. These dogs generally get along well with other dogs but may clash with quiet cat breeds or smaller pets due to their rambunctious personalities! If you commit yourself to ensuring your long-haired Chihuahua is well-trained and obedient, you are sure to have a loving companion for years to come.
Due to their small size, long-haired Chihuahuas can happily live in a range of environments, from apartments to houses with large gardens. They are best suited to households where someone is home for most of the day as these attentive dogs do not do well when left alone for long periods. They get along well with older children but shouldn’t be trusted with younger children as they may lash out if play gets a little too rough. These dogs can get along well with other dogs if they are introduced slowly.
Long-haired Chihuahuas are lively, fun, companions that are incredibly loving. They can develop unwanted behaviours such as excessive barking if not trained properly. So, ensure you have the time to devote to your little bundle of joy!
Their stories
We love happy endings. Discover stories of pets who found their beloved family with the help of The Pedigree Paws <3.
Neo
Russian Blue
We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!
Stitch
Chartreux
From the kittens's selection to the arrival of our Chartreux kitten, The Pedigree Paws was there to assist us. We had great experience with them, and they breeder Alexandra from France with whom they connected us and from whom we got our kitten from. They are very prompt in answering our initial and follow-up questions while our kitten was in transit. Very reliable and trustworthy!
Thank you so much for all your help. We are very happy with our new family member. We will definitely recommend it to all our friends.
Athena
Chihuahua
It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.

I have always wanted a Ragdoll kitten as it was my dream cat breed, but didnt know how to find one as heard a lot about kitten farms and bad breeders. I reached out to The Pedigree Paws and they were very accommodating and transparent from the start. They offered me few kittens from their list of breeders and when I saw Emi I knew she was the one! We went through the kitten's parents DNA testing as for me that was a priority to have a kitten free from genetic disorders. We sealed the deal and now I have the best kitten I could dream of! Thank you very much for all your help
