Description:
Bosco is looking for a special, forever home. He is a wonderfully sweet dog, but has some nipping problems. He will need someone who is a strong pack leader and will not let him get away with nipping at people. For this reason, I would not recommend a home with small children. Take a look at this video to see how well Bosco responds to at Thundershirt. Channel 6 Video Bosco was allowed to keep his ThunderShirt and it will go with him when adopted!
Foster Update: Even though I have been a foster for Bosco the Chihuahua for a short time, I have come to enjoy his dynamic personality. It took several days for he and my 5 dogs to mellow. My dogs (all under 20 lbs.) are very calm and laid back. It took them offguard to see a very high energy dog to share their toys with. Bosco does need someone who will let him know who is in control. I shake an aluminum can with 13 pennies in it if he starts to get out of control. One shake of the can redirects his thought pattern and he calms down, I haven't had to shake the can this week. I have managed to win his love and trust. He is very lovable, always giving me kisses. He relaxes in the evening and sleeps on my lap for about an hour and then settles in his crate in my bedroom all on his own. He sleeps all night. He is totally housetrained. He is not food agressive with me. He enjoys his bath - stays still in my laundry tub. He is afraid of loud noises - thunderstorms, fireworks, etc. I think he would like to be the only dog in the house or maybe with one or two other dogs. He is trying to learn to share me with my 5 dogs. He knows his boundaries with them. I do not recommend he go to a home with children since he had to be crated in my bedroom when my grandchildren visited on weekends. He constantly barked and growled until they left. Overall he is a great dog, if someone with patience would give him a chance. He would make a loyal companion. He has much love to give.
Foster Update: Bosco has become more social since I began fostering him one month ago. He feels very comfortable in my home now with my 5 small dogs - knows his place in the pack. He is not growling as much
when my grown children visit, but I still need to crate him when my grandchildren visit. He often barks at any unusual noise he hears, but is becoming more familiar with the sounds. When outside he responds to the
neighborhood dogs barking in their yards. He likes to give his two cents worth. He is very calm in the evening - likes to cuddle up on my lap on the sofa along with my other dogs. Bosco has a great personality.

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Chihuahua is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. Native to Mexico, nonetheless it seems to have been introduced by the Chinese. It was only brought to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. The Chihuahua is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua where he was brought to the rest of the world by travelers. This breed is believed to have been sacred to the Pre-Columbian Indian nations. The Chihuahua is a popular, economical companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and enterprising, it gives and demands affection. Bold and saucy, it moves swiftly to avoid being stepped on. Chihuahua's are strong-willed, intensely loyal and become very attached to their owners, even to the point of jealousy. They like to lick their owner's faces. It is undeniably suspicious of people except for its owner. When strangers are present, it follows its owner's every move, keeping as close as possible. This breed may snap at teasing children, after all it is too tiny to get away. The Chihuahua must resort to his sharp teeth in self defense. It is not recommended for children. He can be noisy and may require patience to housebreak. Many owners simply paper train this breed. The Chihuahua hates the cold and may shiver, although this may be due to high metabolism as much as temperature or anxiety. It will tolerate and even appreciate a warm sweater on cooler days. They are good little dogs for apartment life. Although it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about, they will keep fitter if taken for walks. A body harness is safer than a collar. Don't think that just because he is small he should be confined to a small space. Chihuahuas have a life expectancy of 15 or more years.
