My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bitsy is a petite one year old beauty. She is shy at first meeting but quickly becomes a "velcro dog". We are listing her as special needs simply because of her shy ways and feel she would best be suited to a quiet household without small children. Bitsy is currently placed in a foster home specializing in the breed so she may gain more self confidence. Her is the inital report from her foster mom:

She will go outside and potty. She doesn't tell me that she has to go; but,
she is very good about holding it until I take her (which I try to do
often). She can use the steps to get onto the bed. She loves her toys and
will carry them from room to room with her. She doesn't chew them up, just
takes them with her like a kid dragging a teddy bear around. She also likes
to hide her toys from other dogs - and she has been known to steal their
toys and hide them under the bed. She loves her belly rubbed. She loves to
snuggle. She loves dogs that are in the 15 to 20 lbs range. She doesn't
like dogs that are bigger. She is learning the leash.

She seems to do well with people; but, she has "her" person. It takes her a
while to come to people - mainly because I think we all look like Big Foot
to her. Eventually, she gets comfortable to come when called. She doesn't
know her name, she just comes because she knows I am talking to her.

She is NOT a barker. Some Chihuahuas are, she does not seem to be.
