How fast can a Chihuahua dog run?

A Chihuahua can run up to around 10 to 15 miles per hour in short bursts. Although they’re small and don’t have the long legs of larger breeds, they’re quick and agile for their size. Their bursts of speed usually come out when they’re playing, excited, or chasing something interesting — even if it’s just a leaf blowing across the yard.

That said, they’re not built for long-distance running or endurance. Short, supervised play sessions or brisk walks are a better fit for their energy and build.
