Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Please meet Pixi, 8 month old Chihuahua .....all 7 pounds of cuteness!
Pixi is shy on initial greeting but warms up quickly with a soft hand. She's really coming out of her shell and settling in nicely. She LOVES the other pets and would do well with another dog or playful cat in the home. She gets so excited to see them when we get home from a day at work. Pixi is doing very well with her house training but, she is not fool proof and will need continued reinforcement. She will go inside if you're not paying attention. She's eating very well and has the energy to prove it. Pixi loves going on walks, even in this snowy weather. As a note, she CANNOT be let off leash, too fearful, and would certainly get spooked and bad things could happen.
Pixi's confidence is slowly building but she still needs reassurance is this big world. If you watch, you'll see stress signals, so she'll need someone who can recognize and proceed accordingly. I think she'll do nicely in any situation but I do think older children are preferred. She can be very timid and will be fearful with any sort of negative reinforcement (she wouldn't come up on the couch after receiving a static shock from a blanket). Her trust needs to be regained over and over but that comes quickly and will only continue to grow is a stable forever home. Pixi has now been spayed and microchipped and is ready to move on to her new family. She loves treats and responds to very basic commands so attention will need to be given to further her learning. She's very eager during training time so this should be relatively easy.
Pixi is really just lovely. Sweet, gentle, and kind are words to describe this little gem
