Well chiuauas are great dogs. But you need a dog that would be loyal and true to her. Like a dog that would always be there for you when you need them. Here are three of my personal favorites that she might like....
Pekapoos- Great loyal dogs, very fun, and playful.
Duchsenes-Lovable, playful, trustworthy,
Beagles- Grow very attachted, fun, cute, smart
Make sure she can take care of it though... Pets come with lots of responsibilities, she might not be able to take care of it so make sure it's okay with her parents if you want it to be a suprise.

Why do you want to share her with another love? She will be having to walk it... you wont be able to go away for the weekend.... vet bills will get her extra money.... She will hurrry home from work or school and have to spend time with it... and clean up after it... and repair stuff it chewed up....
(Do not share her right now, enjoy this time with her and get her the dog for your 5 yr anniversery)
Does this girl have a family that will accept this pet? Does she live in an apartment that allows pets? PLEASE do not make a rash purchase
Why not take her on a short well planned trip? Does she like animals? Why not purchase tickets for you and her to have an afterhours/feeding time access to the Zoo. Most zoos have this for a price but it is wonderful and educational. Then the Zoo will be "your place" (Romantic for a animal lover)
We live near a Aquarium and it has a wonderful back stage tour that allows you to see all that goes on behind the scenes and feed the different fish and animals.
Bottom line...... a pet is a LIFE TIME commitment. When you choose a gift like that for another person maybe they would assume you intend to be around to help take care of the pet. Both of you need to accept and be ready for a life time commitment. Pets are like children... not like toys...
Shelter dogs are great IF you know it's background. Sometimes they have been abused or neglected and have problems with house breaking and many other issues... PLEASE be careful when choosing a shelter animal. IT IS THERE FOR A REASON. My daughter rescued a dog from a woman who got it at a shelter then could not handle it's many problems. My daughter was able to rehabilitate the poor thing but it took total devotion for months before it could be left alone or allowed to walk through the house. You really need to know what you are doing BEFORE you get a dog!

the spelling is chihuahua. They are mostly a 1 person dog.
I would definately suggest no matter what dog you might get at teh shelter you find out exactly why the dog is there. I know of several that were adopted and ended up they hated a specific sex and I know one that nearly killed a child that was given as a gift.
I strongly suggest letting her know you wnat to get her one but let her pick the dog or pup out, see how it gets along with her. Also are you sure she realy wants the responsiblilty of a dog and does she have the time for one.
Chihuahuas are great little dogs but teh need to be socialized with people and other animals this is a must.
Just because they are small don't give into them they are a little dog but they can get to acting like a big dog.

Well after you learn how to spell it maybe a Chihuahua would be nice...but you need to find out if she wants a dog and is ready for the responsibility of raising a puppy..shelter dogs are just as good even better because they might have traits of two or more dogs on there...take her with you if you do decide on it..tell her she means a lot to you and you wanted to get her something special and you were thinking of a dog..how does she feel about it...if she is OK with it get all the stuff she needs then get her the puppy or dog...
BTW..most girls like dogs you can dress up and act like it is a baby doll from when she was 5...so something small..Good Luck!

NO. Do NOT get her a living being as a present. That is a very poor choice.
How old is she? Is she a minor living in her parents' home? If so, you would have to have their permission first. But even if she is of age and has her own apartment, are there any roommates? Could any of them be allergic? Is she allergic?
Is she ready for this "present" and by that I mean can she AFFORD a dog right now? You may take care of the initial cost in purchasing the dog, but she is the one who will be saddled with vet bills and food costs and cleanup.
You obviously haven't given this much thought. Don't destroy some dog's life. Does your girlfriend work all day? What if the dog gets bored or scared and starts yapping all day? Then she could be evicted and/or have to dump the dog at a pound. What sort of gift would a load of problems be for you to give her?!
If she wanted a pet, she would have one already. If you want to give her something 'cute,' give her a stuffed animal toy.

It is great that you are looking at shelters, kudos! Your intentions are sweet and I’m sure that she will appreciate your thoughtfulness no matter what but, it is not wise to get a pet for anyone. I would suggest you take her for a surprise outing to the shelter and let her pick for herself, or get a gift certificate or prepaid receipt. After all a pet is a living thing and requires preparation. Also even within a given breed they have different personalities and it is important that pet and owner click. Personally, even as a young girl, I have always liked the larger dogs, I have a Lab Dane cross now. It is really an individual thing.

First off a pet is not a good gift unless you are married to that person and know they want one.a dog should fit their lifestyle and how much time is she willing to spend grooming the dog.and does she have the patience enough to potty train it?does she live in a small place or big place not everyone likes the same type of dogs.get her something else flowers candy.look like someone said a dog is something that person should pick.also can she afford to have a dog.to they allow dogs in her apt or house.thats also a reason of why dogs end up in shelters people get them because they are cute and do not realize all this.

Giving somone a dog as a gift (especially when it's a surprise) is a terrible idea. Make sure she's willing and able to take care of it (and of course, make sure she wants a dog). Giving an animal as a gift is one of the main reasons rescues, pounds, and shelters are overflowing with unwanted animals. Please rethink this gift. If you want to show her you love her, jewelry, flowers, or a stuffed animal in a pink sweater would be much better than a living thing.

A chihuahua in a pink sweater sounds grotesque. Dogs should never be fashion accessories for people. Better not get her a dog. Better get her a pink sweater of her very own.
