Im against breed bans in general, but chihuahuas suck. Let’s make chihuahuas illegal.

    We should probably just work on bad breeding practices for a lot more animals. And as far as most Chihuahuas being shitty it’s usually down to the owner. Proper and good training can make a world of difference.

    I wouldn’t have a purebred dog of any sort. We’ve only ever got mixy ones from the shelter. But have met some truly chill Chihuahuas, some very friendly pitties, good examples of most designer dogs. Not cocker spaniels - they’ve all been assholes.

    I like bigger dogs but if you aren’t going to relentlessly train your dog, a tiny ankle biter like a Chihuahua is safer.

    I think the ones that should be banned are the Frenchies/Pugs. Don’t think that is an unpopular opinion though. Poor things can’t breathe and are too thick to move freely.

      Yeah brachiocephalic (sp?) Of all sorts should be outlawed. It’s just cruel. I guess my true problem with chihuahuas is that I’ve met a lot but never a trained one. They have all been as mean as it gets.

        Where do you live? Around here it’s a lot of old Cuban grandpas who have the Chihuahuas and they are pretty good dogs. I mean, good for such small dogs anyway.

    Disagree, we should ban unethical breeders. If we want to ban breeds, we should start with the ones designed for felony bloodsport before any other breeds.
