I have what people consider a “deer headed” chihuahua and she always folds her front paws under while she sits.

I’m not sure if this is a normal characteristic of chihuahuas. If it is not, do you think that there could be something bothering her? Like her joints, knees, ect.

Your’s does too!?
I KNOW, she looks so delicate when she does it.

But I am not sure if it’s normal, my local vet is so hard to understand..
I can never understand what he’s saying.. Ahaha. I just don’t want to
ignore it if something is bothering her, you know?
I always wonder if she’s self conscious about her long front legs, hahaha.

She pretty much folds under her front paws… Like a giraffe. Her personality is really unique. When she lays down she ALWAYS crosses her paws.
So I am not sure if it’s just a personality trait or if something is wrong.

my chichuchua bends them but not completely all the way like that, and she never sits on them(but when she lays down she put her paws in fornt of her and crosses them:)). First of all, don’t worry, if she was in pain she would let you know. Secondly, has she seen a vet?

Yeah, she has, but not for this.

How cute though(:

My puppy also growls at me all the time!!! It doesn’t matter her mood, she always growls! I’ll come home, pick her up and she’ll be all excited and kiss me, but growl at the same time!
I swear, she’s oneee weird pup.
