Stewie is a typical chihuahua in that he wants you to do nothing to him for the first two days. And we mean absolutely nothing, do not even look his way... He has pearly whites and is not afraid to use them. Just let him settle in on his terms and get used to his new environment and new people. It's a big scary world for a little fella. BUT then something magical happens after that you can't do anything without him for the rest of your life. He is like velcro. Like the glue of your life. Your one true companion. Once you are the light of his life, he can't hold his licker....he loves to give kisses and snuggle. Stewie loves food and he will even dance for it. It is the next best thing next to you. We would prefer he have a home with no kids because again of the little rascally chihuahua thing. But if you have older kids he will probably be ok with that if they follow his rules. And it never hurts to put him in his own room or crate if company is coming.
Stewie loves other dogs and loves to play, but has no problem telling them who is in charge as needed. It goes back to that little fella in charge thing. He is cat friendly. Stewie does tend to mark a bit and will wear a wrap but isn't a huge fan. In his current foster home he is slowly but surely showing he is housetrained in order to get out of wearing it.
