  I have seen a few aggressive chis, but it is the exception, not the rule.  Usually, when a chi, or any dog for that matter, is being aggressive, it is due to 1)an abusive past, 2) a fight for necessities like food when food is rare (ei stray, ect) or 3)sudden fear. Pretty much any dog tha

My suspicion is that your chi was probably taken from his mother/littermates too soon. The last few weeks of their 12-14 weeks with mommy and littermates is where they learn confidence and socialization. Because chihuahuas need to spend more time in the litter than some other breeds, they're
