About Royal

Meet Royal! This charming boy may be a bit shy at first, winning your heart with hot dogs. While he appreciates personal space and prefers not to be held like many Chihuahuas, with patience and understanding, he can learn to feel secure in your presence. A home without young children is best for him as he needs a quieter environment to thrive. Once Royal warms up to you, his playful side shines through. He loves to zoom around, enjoys playtime with his toys, and finds delight in rolling on cozy rugs. Napping is also one of his specialties, surrounded by soft blankets and cushions—after all, he believes in living like royalty. Royal has shown he gets along well with dogs of all sizes and is also friendly towards cats. He enjoys peaceful walks in quieter areas, though he can be startled by fast movements like bicycles and is not suited for busier city life. If you're looking for a sweet, older Chihuahua who prefers a calm home life and has a playful spirit once comfortable, consider meeting Royal!
