it all depends on your dogs coat type. I have seen both short and long coated chihuahuas. I personally own a Long coat chihuahua because they only shed every 6 months or so... a short coat chihuahua tends to shed all the time. a female will also blow her coat everytime she comes into season. if there is no other explination for it, you dog may not have a proper diet and you will need to speak to your vet to get proper nutrition info.

Like all short-haired dogs, Chi's shed hair daily. You can lessen this by brushing them everyday, and they love to be groomed. Also if you put a little bit margarine, or even bacon fat in with their wet food, it helps them to get oil to their skin, which helps with dandruff and hair loss. Don't bathe a dog too often...some people are doing this every 2 or 3 days. Not necessary unless they run into a skunk. Since they are house dogs, once a month is sufficient. Good Luck.

It's all simply a matter of personal preference. I actually have short hair and guys such as it. And i prefer a man with short hair over a guy with long hair because long hair tends to make guys look also girly.

They can shed an awful lot for such little dogs. Some of it is seasonal, like when the weather warms up, but sometimes you can reduce shedding by feeding them a different food. Check out this website, it has lots of info on nutrition for dogs.
