Chihuahua owners? Need advice?

Okay so I don't plan on getting another dog anytime soon but lately I've been considering getting a Chihuahua at some point. Which is a bit surprising to me since I'm more of a big dog person. I was just curious if some Chihuahua owners could give me the pros and cons of them. Of course I'll be doing research too, but it'd be nice to hear from owners.

    Pros: adorable, smart, low maintenance grooming, travel well, good for apartments or smaller homes, don't eat much, medications/surgeries cost less due to size, playful.

    Cons: can have 'little dog syndrome" if allowed to be spoiled, luxating patellas and dental issues, can be aggressive/territorial if not socialized/trained (as with any breed), most have a soft spot where their skull doesn't close all the way until they are around a year, easy to break a limb (eg falling off a couch, or out of someones arms) can be hard to potty train

    Treats and speaking toddler gibberish will in all probability artwork. something has befell at a while for her to try this. have you ever had her for the reason that she became a domestic dog? If no longer you would be able to desire to look returned at her previous vendors or the kennel she got here from. Alot would be spoke back appropriate there. women persons are greater aggressive then the adult males, yet her getting apprehensive around palms provides me the impact she became abused in some way.
