Well, sure, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I just want to know why some people feel this way.
Some people think a Golden Retriever is more appropriate for children then a Chihuahua but I think that is wrong. Big dogs have bigger chances of biting, and they are so hard to control on a leash, while Chis are cute, innocent, caring, loving creatures, who are not yappy at all. I'm sure dogs bark once in a while but "yappy" is not a way to describe a Chi!
I will soon be getting a Chi...nothing will change my mind. But I was just so curious as to why some people hate this breed of dog?
because they are nasty little rats and have more of a chance biting than a bigger dog.
because they can become very mean and snap. They are very needy dogs and they usually do yap a lot.
Personally I love them. They are small and cute to play or cuddle with. Some people hate them because they bark or "yap" but they are a perfect alarm system! They also can be mean or protective but thats only if they are raised in a bad environment! Don't let ANYONE change your mind about getting a chihuahua!
well i like them but....
Mom- small evil nippers
Gmama-friend has one and bites everything
Friend-read somewhere that they were stupid bite and bark non-stop
Now any dog bad dog will do this a good dog will love when other people love it make sure it does not get "small dog syndrome" like jumping on your lap without saying its okay it is alright for a great Dane to just jump up on you little things like this will get you a bad dog treat it like a big one except let it come up by saying "up" or something and don't forget to socialize and give lots of love
their barking is horribly high pitched and anoying but they are cute
because they are Yappy...
I don't exactly hate them. I've had a bad experience with them though. I was 6 and my aunt's 2 chihuahuas bit me and broke the skin. But I don't blame them, they had never been socialized with kids so I guess it's not their fault.
Generally speaking I have nothing against them.
I guess some people just have different preferences.

They're yappy little spoiled creatures which aren't dogs. They're rats. There, I said it. I feel better now.
I have nothing against chihuahuas! They are great, only if trained well though.
However... bigger dogs usually don't bite as much as smaller dogs, only due to the massive inbreeding that is being done to Chihuahuas :( They are becoming more and more in-balanced, which leads to aggression problems later on. I think it's horrible!
Also, chihuahuas do tend to bite... they are actually one of the most vicious dog breeds. They are very easy to upset, they are quite nippy, but that's usually due to owners being negligent in their training. Good luck.
They Yap
They Bite
They are very rude
Some people don't like little dogs
They are instigators
They don't house train very well
I love them :-)
I think they're cute. but people probably don't like them because they yip alot
Some people don't like them because the only ones they ever met were mean.

Chihuahuas can be really mean little dogs if not socialised right. They also like to bark at everything.
These people only meet the bad ones. A good Chihuahua that was raised right with good owners can be a great little dog. BUT sadly many people think because it is a small dog they don't need to train it or work with it as much. SO these untrained unsocialised dogs become nasty little nippers. I have seen it a 1000 times.
One of my dogs is a Pom / Chihuahua mix. He can be a jerk to people he does not know. They are not always good with strangers.
I'm sorry the breed tends to be aggressive and not good with children. They have more tendency to bite albeit a smaller bite than some other dogs. And come on Chi's bark like mad don't sugar coat it.
I personally don't like them because they are small, and fragile. Their size tends to make their owners think they don't need to be trained--that they are dolls, not dogs. They don't make good dogs for children/with children since they *are* so fragile.
Any untrained dog has the potential to bite, or to be hard to control. It's not limited to any group, size, or breed.
I don't hate personal *dogs*. There are breeds that aren't for me, and breeds I don't support, but it's all up to the owner. Make sure you have a well-trained little dog, and it's fine by me.
Some people like large breed dogs, some just like small breed dogs. You dont have to care other people think because you are the one to get the dog and take care of it. Just make sure you will be a good owner and you can provide the dog forever sweet home. =] That is the most important thing. People love large breed dogs, however, some people don't even know how to teach a big dog and push all the faults on the dog. Well, they just didn't do enough homework/research before getting a big dog. Well, i hope you have done homework and decided chi is the best for you. Anyway Chi is cute and people should change the way they think Chi coz diff dogs have diff personalities.
they can be mean
I like chi's but due to the owners spoiling they can become, snappy and suspicious of strangers.
If raised properly they can be loving dogs.
The reason they are not good for small children is mostly because of their size. They can easily be hurt unintentially by small children or snap at them because they get scared by them. Not because they are bad dogs.
I hate chihuahuas because they are mean,yappy little dogs.
Actually little dogs are more prone to biting then a big dog is. Not all big dogs are hard to control on the leash if you train them correctly.
IMO Chihuahuas are ugly,yappy and I wouldn't get one if I had to.
I love big dogs!
I have 2 big dogs Dakota and Duke a Rottie/GSD/husky mix and a Labrador/Rottie mix!
They suck.
You might as well get a rat. lol.
They look like over-sized rats with big ears, and are very yappy gross dogs.
I'd never EVER own something so disgusting, and horrible AND mean.
With the right training a big is the best pet ever. I have a Newf and a Corgi mix if I had too choose one of them I'd choose the Newf anyday. The corgi is evil, loves nipping things and ankles and is terrible on the lead.
I looked after two debarked bichons, but they still managed too annoy me ALOT. >:(
Chihuahuas are hyper
as big dogs are more tame and good around kids and people
A lot of people don't like small dogs. I'm definitely not one of those people I love all dogs. Plus Chis have a reputation for being overly spoiled which can lead to bad behavior and overall nastiness.
I HAD ONE WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THEY LOVED EACH OTHER..THEY PLAYED AND SLEPT AND EVERYTHING TOGETHER....I LOVED OURS AND SO DID THE KIDS....IT WAS PART OF OUR FAMILY SO EVERY DOG IS DIFF BUT IF ITS RAISED WITH KIDS THEN IT WOULD BE NICE WITH KIDS..ITS ALL HOW YOU RAISE IT..
I love chis!! I have one shes so freaken adorable =D shes long haired and i love her shes always been there for me since I was a little girl =D

isnt she cute =D
Where on earth did you get the idea that some people hate Chihuahuas? Besides it's all personal taste.
Actually it is not true that big dogs have bigger chances of biting. The dachshund is one of the worst offenders in that department, as is the Cocker Spaniel.
And you're right, Chihuahuas usually aren't yappy. Especially compared to other toy breeds such as Pomeranians and Papillons.
I don't think that people necessarily hate them, but they do tend to be noisier dogs. I do know some people who have chis and children -- the dogs can be very protective of their families. This can be a nice quality, but I can also say that chis can be a bit "mouthy" -- I was bitten on the thumb by one once (it was being protective of it's kids, who I was babysitting). So, I don't think of them as exactly "innocent" or totally safe either.
As with any dog, you should supervise it closely when it is with children. Enjoy your new dog!
I have hated Chihuahuas for my entire life. When i was 5 years old, my cousins bought two Chihahuas. One of them is the meanest dog i have ever seen. I have known it for 14 years and it has always hated people. It barks for hours and bites everyone. You will try to walk through the kitchen and it will try biting your toes. This is my personal reason for hating them, others may just dislike their helpless look.. you would have to look at the reasons people buy dogs. Protection? Companionship? Also depends on the person.
oh i love love chihuahua's there so cute iv had 3. 2 when i lived with mum and one of my own but shes a mix is a pomcha pomeranian cross chihuahua. shes so beautiful.
chihuahua's are so affectionate my dog can tell when im sad or happy. they love to get close to you mine sleeps in my bed with her head on the pillow next to me. her name is fifi and she is the best dog iv ever had she doesnt bark only when people drive past. she doesnt eat much shes great. shes toilet trained. you say the work toily and she runs to the door so quick and you open the door and she goes straight away. i love chihuahas you can tell cos there so beautiful.
so all the chihuahuah haters, you cant hate because you have never had one.
they are a nasty ankle biters
