About Sparky’s reported breeds

The Chihuahua is a Toy Group breed that the AKC recognized in 1904. AKC gives a general life expectancy of 14-16 years for the breed. Chihuahuas tend to be devoted to one person or family and reserved toward strangers, so early socialization matters. The breed is prone to periodontal problems and tends to become obese, so dental care and portion control matter.
