With a Chihuahua being so delicate I would just think that a harness would be the best way to go, at least when you are outside. These little guys and girls are so vulnerable, you really can't be too careful. Also because of that I think I would pick up a few breed specific books at the library to learn as much as you can about caring for your little one.

As MHMama says, you have to be specificaly alert around other dogs with a Chihuahua and even a bird of prey can swoop down and take off with these bitty ones.
