Yes, Chihuahuas can make good pets for the right owners. They are small, loyal, and alert, but may be prone to barking and need socialization. They thrive in environments where they receive attention and care.

Chihuahuas are small, portable, and loyal dogs, making them great companions for apartment living. However, they can be prone to barking, are fragile and may require careful handling, and sometimes have aggressive tendencies. Their tiny size also makes them sensitive to cold weather.

Chihuahuas can be left alone for short periods, but they generally do not do well with long periods of isolation due to their social and attachment needs. It's important to gradually train them to be comfortable alone and provide toys or distractions. If left alone too long, they may develop separation anxiety.

The average lifespan of Chihuahuas is typically between 12 to 20 years. They are one of the longest-living dog breeds, often benefiting from good care and a healthy lifestyle.
