Calling all Chihuahua lovers!
Okay, I admit . . . while I never thought that Chihuahuas were “girly” dogs, I was surprised by the number of Chihuahua dads that read and subscribe to my website/blog.
Let’s tackle a question that’s been floating around for far too long: Are Chihuahuas just for girls? Spoiler alert: Absolutely not! These feisty little furballs are perfect for anyone who appreciates their charm, regardless of gender. In fact, let’s hear it from the men who proudly call themselves Chihuahua dads. Grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy the tales of these tiny titans from a man’s perspective.
the myth of the "girly" chihuahua
The idea that Chihuahuas are only for girls probably stems from their petite size, cute appearance, and a few high-profile celebrity owners. But let’s set the record straight: Chihuahuas are versatile, courageous, and fiercely loyal companions who fit perfectly into any household, whether it’s all-male, all-female, or a mix of both.

Mike, a die-hard sports fan, never imagined himself owning a Chihuahua until Daisy came into his life. “I thought Chihuahuas were just lap dogs, but Daisy loves watching games with me. She’s my little lucky charm, and the guys think she’s hilarious when she barks at the TV during a big play. She’s as much a part of the team as any of us.”

Dave, a father of two, decided to get a Chihuahua, Bella, as a family pet. “Bella has so much personality packed into that tiny body,” he says. “She’s great with the kids and has this funny habit of ‘protecting’ our home from the mailman. My friends used to joke about me getting a ‘tougher’ dog, but now they all love Bella’s spunky attitude.”
