About Chihuahua Dogs

Chihuahuas are pint-sized dogs with larger-than-life personalities. These saucy, confident little companions are fiercely loyal to their owners and surprisingly bold for their tiny stature. Their expressive eyes and quirky personalities make them endlessly entertaining.

Adopting a Chihuahua means gaining a portable, devoted companion who'll bond deeply with you. They're perfect for apartment living and travel, and their longevity means many years of companionship. With proper socialization, Chihuahuas are charming, affectionate little dogs who steal hearts wherever they go.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

48°F to 68°F

Dec – Feb

LA winters are ideal for Labrador Retrievers. The mild temperatures suit their double coat perfectly. Griffith Park and Runyon Canyon hikes are great for burning off a Lab’s high energy.

Spring

52°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Labs shed heavily in spring, so brush frequently. Coastal trails in Malibu are perfect for exercise, and Labs love splashing at dog-friendly beaches in Long Beach and Huntington.

Summer

65°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Inland valleys can exceed 100°F, which overheats Labrador Retrievers fast despite their love of activity. Stick to coastal areas or early morning walks. Wildfire smoke can also compromise their respiratory health.

Fall

58°F to 80°F

Sep – Nov

Santa Ana winds bring dry heat that dehydrates active Labs quickly. Keep water handy on hikes. As temperatures cool toward November, it becomes excellent hiking season for Labrador Retrievers in the LA foothills.
