Expert Answer

The Chihuahua is not very intelligent, ranking 67th among dog breeds in intelligence, but a dog’s intelligence varies by individual, so a few Chihuahuas may be relatively smart. In addition, Chihuahuas are stubborn and sensitive, so training requires the owner’s patience.

However, note that intelligence is not the only measure of a dog’s quality. The Chihuahua is an alert, loyal, and cute dog, so they can make excellent pet dogs. If you want to keep a Chihuahua, early and appropriate training is recommended to build obedience and social skills.
