The coat of the parent Dalmatian tends to shed quite a bit, but not so much for the Chihuahua. Either way, regular brushing will benefit this canine coat. Only bathe when necessary. Pay particular attention to keeping the teeth clean.

Ideal Environment


This is a very high energy hybrid. He will require quite a bit of running. A large fenced in yard is best. He won\'t tolerate cold well, so if you live in a cooler climate plan on putting him in a coat and or sweater. They are leery of strangers so socialize well at an early age. They aren\'t well suited for a family with young children.
