Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rico was born in 2005. He is a "deer" Chihuahua, the largest size Chihuahua, although he weighs only 5 or 6 lbs. Rico is very found of women, gravitating to them immediately. It seems as though he may have been treated unkindly by a man when he was a puppy, although he showed no signs of abuse when he was first brought to us. Rico gets along fine with dogs and cats, but small children might be a bit much for him. Rico is pure-bred. If you buy a "deer" Chihuahua from a breeder you can expect to pay at least $800. Our adoption fee is $100. Rico has been with us quite awhile now. We cannot understand why someone hasn't taken him home. But maybe that person can be you! Rico will need someone who can give him plenty of exercise. He will enjoy walks on a leash and backyard play. Update: Rico is now living in Leoti, KS.
