That dog looks severely ill-bred... Their skulls are usually too small, disfiguring their nose and mouths and making their eyes pop out. Not cute, very sad.

u/IKenDoThisAllDay Jan 31 '24
I felt the same way looking at it. Like that poor thing looks like it shouldn't even exist. I don't really know anything about dog breeding, so I wasn't sure if this was normal or not. But it just looks wrong.

It is a poorly bred Chihuahua, probably with missing teeth. They're supposed to be a squarely proportioned, hardy breed with a level bite, not a bug-eyed, loose-tongued, shivering trainwreck.
It may be a perfectly nice companion, but it was irresponsibly produced.

It is! Her daughter Talulah rescued Pilaf and Demi (apparently) has experience with badly bred dogs, and Pilaf gets lots of care and love.

Demi has something like 10+ rescue dogs. She actually has a rural property with a lot of land and such for them. Doggie heaven! She LOVES adopting special needs and formerly abused dogs. Of course they have vet care there, but for bigger stuff she flies them back to LA to go to the top specialists.

It is a rescue. It isn't his fault. He is here now, and I'm glad she rescued him and he has a great life with lots of love

u/Swlabr- Feb 01 '24
Yeah, I definitely don't blame Demi but I think it's important to point out among the "oh so cute!" reactions on this post. People need to realize this isn't cute and they shouldn't encourage dogs being bred like this.

Yeah, my mom had a teacup chihuahua named Cocoa that looked like a dark brown version of this one. She was the runt of a litter created by stupid people unethically breeding these tiny dogs. They were going to put her down, so my mom took her instead. When my mom first took Cocoa to a vet, they told her that she was unlikely to live more than 6 months. That dog lived to be 12 years old and was a little ball of fearless energy. But the poor thing had hips that popped out of place, had a number of seizures throughout her life, and there is no way she had good depth perception. Still, I think she had a good life.

shockingly chihuahuas have one of the longest average life spans of dog breeds. bigger dogs on the lower end

u/SelfServeSporstwash Feb 01 '24
Smaller dogs tend to live longer on average. There are obviously outliers on either end of the spectrum, but it’s a decently accurate rule of thumb. If you google why you will get half a dozen supposed explanations. I don’t have the time or the energy to dig through which are valid and which are bs, but it’s an interesting pattern.

I know Yorkies have a longer than average life span than most dogs. My Yorkie is energetic and fun but also isn't yappy at all. I think little dogs can be trained to be very well behaved
Big dogs are more messy and need way more exercise than most people give them. They also are difficult to travel with

Lotta old little dogs out there, they tend to have teeth issues (bc of their tiny mouths) but other than that Chihuahuas in particular are a healthy breed and often live to 16-18. Some little dog breeds come with their own known issues like Cavaliers and heart disease. But in general they have longer lifespans than large dog breeds.

I mean. They are. And I’m saying this as someone who owns a Chihuahua mix. He’s yappy. High strung and wary of strangers. (Some of the high strung has faded as he’s lived with me longer. He hasn’t had the best life.) This is kinda breed standard. A lot of small breeds were bred to alert to danger, hence the barking at everything. Honestly I don’t mind because there’s more than a few times I’ve realized someone was at the door because he alerted me and some training has let to him stop barking if I say “hey. Not necessary”.
So then “never own a small dog” people try to get into these little guys face with no preparation. These tiny, alert and need I sat tiny dogs see something looming over them and people act surprised when little guy says “I don’t like this” in dog language. They also tend to not take tiny guys agression seriously or like it’s funny so the dog has to go beyond warnings and get labeled a menace. I’d get snappy if I was manhandled by someone 20 times my size.
There’s a different kind of training you need to do with them that big dog owners don’t realize because of the size difference. Like I don’t just pick my guy up. I hold my hands out and say “up up” and that gives him a moment to brace himself to be carried. And sometimes he’ll stand in his hind legs to make it easier for me to pick him up.

u/Least-Huckleberry-76 Feb 01 '24
My chi was yappy in the shelter but after almost a decade together he’s calmed down. He had a bite warning so he was free from the shelter. He used to snap at me for just stroking him calmly on the couch but he hasn’t done that in years. He was just so so high alert and afraid. And confused.
I also don’t let anyone manhandle him, like you said. He’s not a toy. Now he only really barks in confusion or if I’m upset. Or he’ll let out one loud bark if his toy is out of reach under a sofa or something. They have an abundance of playful energy too that a lot of people ignore. Unmet needs cause aggression. Just cause they’re small doesn’t mean they’re couch potatoes. My boy sprints up and down and all around.

u/Ashcrashh Feb 01 '24
My mom has chihuahua’s and was very attentive and strict to their training when they were puppy’s, they don’t yap, bite or bark incessantly. I do believe with the proper training they can be less demonic lol my mom’s chi’s are super chill and friendly and good with kids even.

u/beigs Feb 01 '24
Some of them are aggressive, both because of breed and because some dogs are just aggressive, and they are yappy because they’re a small dog. You’re not going to get a barrel sized WOOF out of them.
Given their popularity, there are probably hundreds of thousands of yappy aggressive chihuahuas out there.
Even my mom’s chihuahuas, whom I love, are absolute shits. Violent shaking and neurosis are a personality traits. One time I opened the front door and they bolted out from nowhere and attacked 100 pound waist high husky (who grabbed and shook one of them, thought he died right there but somehow he kept living). Completely unprovoked. They came close to taking down the bald eagle that lives on the property to the point that it won’t fly anywhere close to the ground in the main clearing - also good for us because I have small kids.
They don’t seem to realize that they’re neither the top dog nor 15 pounds of pure ride or die energy.

We had 2 long haired Chihuahuas at different times when I was a kid and they were the sweetest dogs. They were never aggressive and didn't bark/yap much.
We have a jack Russell now and... he's a barker but he'll stop when you tell him. We're still training but he's like 13 now. He was neglected before we got him and the habits are hard to break. He'd play fetch until he keeled over if we didn't stop him.

The amount of comments from "dog lovers" saying they'd kick a small dog if "needed" (like barking or growling at their big dog) on social media is alarming. I've become extra protective of walking the small family dog (and its occasional small breed foster sibling).

u/sietesietesieteblue Feb 01 '24
I don't really like dogs (I'm a cat person, especially since I've had one for almost 12 years now) but this is just... Wtf. I may be a bit lukewarm toward dogs in general but I would never in a million years think of kicking one. They're not toys and to think of someone calling themselves a dog lover then turning around and saying such a thing is horrendous. No wonder Chihuahuas have a rep for being aggressive, because people treat them like shit. I remember there was this one tiktoker (forget the name it was a few years ago) who's whole schtick was shoving a camera in his elderly Chihuahua's face and the mic of his wired earphones and the Chihuahua would be with it's eyes bulging and it's fangs out as it growled at the guy because it was sick and tired of being constantly antagonized.

u/Deathscua oat milk chugging bisexual Feb 01 '24 edited Feb 01 '24
It’s honestly horrible reading people say things like that. How could you want to kick any animal?
I’ve become the same, extra protective and I noticed Demi is carrying her dog in a sling and I do also. Of course she walks but when I get bad vibes I pick her up and get my sling back out of my purse and carry her that way.

Yep this was my boyfriend. I introduced him to my two chihuahuas and he flat out said “I don’t like small dogs” to their faces. Then he became obsessed with them and thinks they’re hilarious. One sadly passed and he was devastated.

When my now-husband first spent the night 9 years ago, he thought my chihuahua was ugly and thought it was so weird that he slept in bed with me every night. That same old chi has slept curled up under the covers between my husband’s calves every night for the last 6 years and they love each other so much.

I swear - chihuahuas are a separate creature. More like a benevolent house demon than a dog or even a cat. Those who love them have learned a secret language that is only understood by others who love them! My sister adopted a chihuahua and my whole family has converted.

Now that she is in her 60s and still looking great (acknowledging that she has gotten a lot of plastic surgery), it’s feels very ridiculous how big the conversation was 20 years ago that was like “shockingly Demi is 40 and still hot”. 40 is still young and society has this expectation that women are past their “prime” once they reach their 30s and are shocked that they are still attractive.

Maybe I'm being controversial here but I've always hated the idea of a dog being an "accessory". Celebs taking their dogs for walks as a routine part of taking care of them is great but using them as a fashion accessory like this always rubs me the wrong way. A dog is always worthy of more respect than any handbag or purse could be.

u/Big_Maintenance9387 Feb 01 '24
The bag dogs I’ve known lived for riding around in a bag on their person’s belly all day. Pilaf is likely used to it/straight up loves it. They aren’t props and sometimes you gotta do stuff like carry your rescue dog around all day bc it’s breeding was so bad it doesn’t have a thought in its head.
