Rosalita is 3 years old and your typical chihuahua. If you know Chihuahuas you know Rosalita! She is a lap dog, follows you absolutely everywhere. Loves her people so much! She loves bringing us toys and showing them off even if they are as big as her!

She's a huge foodie! Gotta be careful because she came overweight and it can happen again easily. She is good with other dogs but she is definitely the boss girl! She will cuddle with them once she's comfortable.  She is scared of new people and will need a short adjustment time. It took us a day & half to win her over.

Yes, she is a barker. She doesn't need a house with a fenced yard but she would not be a good apartment dog because she can be talkative. Small but mighty!
