The smallest dog in the world has one of the highest life time costs. There are two main varieties of Chihuahua. It’s based on the shape of the head, namely apple head and deer head. They are highly pampered toy breeds and are highly temperamental dogs. Because of the ownership that these dogs enjoy, they are generally considered as pets of the rich and famous. Chihuahuas are a delicate breed and require careful handling. They also require training so that they don’t get aggressive against strangers. Though they have low initial cost, the high life time cost comes due to the high grooming and care required by these dogs.
