I've had chihuahuas for years, they are just like any other dog except you have to watch where you're going because they're easy to step on, lol. Housebreaking depends on the individual dog, just like in other breeds, some will be easy to housebreak and others more difficult. The chihuahua I have now was very easy to potty train as was my first, my second chihuahua was more difficult to housebreak.

One thing that I would like to say is that chihuahuas have a reputation for being yappy and snappy with strangers so be very careful when picking out a puppy. Take your time, observe how the momma behaves and how the puppies interact with one another as well as to people. Choosing a puppy that isn't shy or timid, that appears curious and playful but not pushy with the other pups will lessen your chance of having a dog with behaviour problems later on.
