Does anyone have a chihuahua?

Hey guys just wanted some opinions I have a friend who is trying to rehome a puppy chihuahua x Pomeranian mix, I'm tempted to get him as he's stolen my heart he's beautiful but I wondered if any of you have a Staffie comfortably living with a small dog and whether having a boy would be asking for trouble? Axl is good with small dogs he gets on fine with my friends pug. I wondered also if anyone has tips on introducing a puppy to axl. Any thoughts appreciated thanks

Personally I would never trust Daisy to play with a small dog, she's so rough sheb could cause a serious injury without meaning to!

I have a Yorkie. I had her (a rescue) before Toots came.
Initially Toots annoyed her with her needle teeth, but quickly learned boundaries and how to play more respectfully.
They are best of friends now although Dottie is with a friend while Toots' leg mends.
Bit apprehensive about the re-uniting as Toots is bigger and stronger now and might forget her manners.
With careful introduction Debs, see how it goes   

Yep I agree with sazzie, Staffords can be very bashful and clumsy as we all know , I'd be on tender hooks all the while worrying about the little dog. Also introducing a male dog into the household where a male Stafford is well established is IMO  just too much of a high risk.  

My sister has a tea cup one and a pug they came for a doggie sleep over. Bella boo the chihuahua was a little bugger with Lula and kept biting her on the belly. They did play together nicely most of the time but Lula was pretty small at the time.
My older sister had a shih tzu and a staffy called Mason who was a big boy. they played and got along just fine. Mason hated other dogs but got along fine with him. Just get them to meet and see how it goes and keep a close eye on them

Thanks guys, the chi x pomeranian is only 13 weeks old so still very young so I'm not too bothered about the male and male thing as Axl has been castrated and so will the pup when he's old enough, if we get him.

I will probably introduce him outside the house to Axl and see how they go although I think Axl is likely to be bullied by the pup if I'm honest. He already plays regularly with a pug and they get on really well, he seems to adjust his play a lot. Also, they would never be left alone together so with all that going for us I think I may get the pup on a weeks' notice and see how it goes. Still interested to hear other people's opinions though!

Mmmm I too would be scared of rough play with such a small dog, but that said no reason why it shouldnt work out fine Deb xx

It sounds promising if he is already used to playing with a pug. I'm sure you will be very careful debs and you know Axl best

Rocky always seems to play better with small dogs than bigger ones, he can be very gentle (sometimes)   He just a lovely play with a tiny Jack Russell terrier at the small park near us   

Yeah he's very gentle with his Pug friend and I would be keeping a very close eye on them both to be honest

My friend has four dogs, A Springer, a Labrador and 2 Chihuahuas. Meg has visited and played happily with Reuben (male Chihuahua), but has not yet met Luna (little female). Beyond that I can't offer much advice, obviously it may be different on 'home territory', but you know Axl best and gentle introduction surely can't do any harm provided it's in a controlled environment

if axl is pretty good with smaller dogs and proper introductions go well it does'nt sound like you'll have a problem,hope it goes well deb   

Bis has two toy breed friends that she likes to walk with, but she's knocked them both over on several occasions whilst trying to play. Personally, wouldn't get a toy breed with bis as she loves to play with other dogs and is way too boisterous for a small doggy. But only you know your dog

I have a miniature daschound with my Stafford. they get on perfectly although it might be a little different introducing the puppy to axls territory.
