Chihuahuas are a feisty little breed that, unfortunately, irritate many people. Even many dog owners are apt to make comments such as Chihuahuas are not “real” dogs, and so on.
On the other hand, if you’re a Chihuahua lover, from your point of view Chihuahuas can probably do no wrong.
As with any dog, one of the first – very pleasant – tasks is to choose a name. What’s in a name, you might ask? Well, plenty really. It’s a word you’re going to be using over and over and over again over the next many years. So it needs to be a name that you’re going to like long term. And it’s always preferable to pick a name that suits your particular dog – both your dog’s temperament, and his/her breed.
As with any dog names, Chihuahua names can run the gammut from people’s names to common dog names, to more unique, more specifically, Chihuahua names.
Here again are some ideas for names for your Chihuahua from Richard Livitski that might take your fancy:
Owning a Chihuahua can be quite an adventure, as I’m sure most owners of this breed can attest to.On one hand you’ve got this cute little dog that everyone wants to hold and pet. On the other hand, if you’re a stranger, you’ll be lucky to have four fingers left when you try, because it might just bite one off. This is because of the Chihuahuas extreme loyalty to those he’s familiar with, and his not appreciating what he feels might be an infringement of his territory.Chihuahuas can also be an adventure to own simply by virtue of their attitudes. Hang around one for any length of time and you’ll notice that this little dog doesn’t seem to know that it’s little! Because of this, they’re often referred to as the little dog, with the big dog attitude. They can be aggressive toward other pets, and can bark up a storm over the littlest thing, which in most cases is bigger than the actual dog itself.
Even though the above mentioned characteristics can be interesting to say the least, more endearing qualities are those of the Chihuahuas extreme loyalty to those he’s familiar with. Also, this puppy has a high energy level and spunk, that can brighten anyone’s day.
Because of these diverse qualities, naming this pooch can prove a bit of a challenge. Should you choose any dog name? Or look for Chihuahua names that best reflect it’s small size, or even it’s humorous big dog attitude?

I have an eighteen month old chi and every name we came up with he would not answer to. One day I said, “Dog what can we call you” and it hit me, call him D.O.G. and he answered right away. So it stuck.
