Like their parents, Jackahuahua's are extremely high-spirited and playful. They also make friends very easily, whether that be with a cat, child or stranger -so probably not the best guard dog! They absolutely love their ‘hoomans’ owners, enjoying lots of attention and cuddles. One thing to watch out for though is that they can become extremely hyper or overly nervous, a trait found in Chihuahua’s as well. Additionally, this breed can be a very strange eater, ranging from eating everything in their path to turning their noses up at the slightest inconvenience. Overall though, they are normally a very happy and lively pet, sure to brighten up your day in the simplest way!

These little dogs, also known as ‘Jack Chi's’, are fairly new on the scene and it’s thought the development of the breed began around the 1980s-1990s. The breed itself is a cross between a Jack Russell Terrier and the Chihuahua. Much of their physical characteristics will vary from dog-to-dog. For example, their ears can either be erect, like that of its Chihuahua ancestors or with a curl-over like a terrier. However, because of the size of the breeds involved in creating this new doggy, the result is often a teeny-weeny pooch! Due to their small size and often very thin, short coats, Jackahuahua's do not like cold weather, so it may be worth investing in a jumper of jacket your little guy can wear during the chillier months!
