These dogs are not real good with small children. They are very nervous & territorial. Also small children like to get into dogs faces making them a prime target for getting bitten. Children also like to carry them around like a stuffed animal then drop them like a toy also very easily breaking the dogs legs. Also a very pregnant woman might not see the puppy right under her feet & step on it. Plus it is very difficult to bend over & pick up the puppy when a woman is past her 6 th month.Go to any pet store they will have books on all types of dogs & what their temperament is & the best type of household for each breed. The proper spelling is Chihuahua.

I don't reccomend that you should get any dogs. First, the dog might bite him/her for some unknown reason. That happended to someone I know. Next if you want a pet i don't recomend a chiwawa because they get excited easily and will "Play" with your baby by jumping on it. If it's a really really old one, i don't think you should get it. I knew a really old chiwawa who was blind in one eye and bit me alot! Last, wait till your kid is older because you don't want anything to happen to your child! Also, not making you buy a dog, but maybe when your child is older, you could get a golden retriver because I heard their great beginner dogs for little kids.

I have a chihuahua and she loves my daughter. They get along wonderfully. She actually likes kids WAY MORE that adults. I think it would be fine as long as the dog has a good temperament,.

i would say don't get it so you can devote all of your attention once the baby comes, it's going to be quite hard, maybe you can get it after the baby is 2 years old, but when it's a newborn, it need a lot of attention.
