Article Title: Is The Chihuahua The Celebritiy Dog Of Choice?
Author: Melissa Turner
They've been spotted everywhere, the streets of Hollywood, the
beaches of Miami and the hotels of New York and London. Have you
noticed the global spurt of celebrities' fascination (or
possibly obsession?) with Chihuahuas? At first it was thought to
simply be a phase; either it's a short phase, or the
Chihuahuadom in Hollywood has begun for the long haul.
Who own these dogs? The list is endless, but here are some of
the celebrity biggies: Paris Hilton's Chihuahua, Tinkerbell;
Britney Spear's Bit Bit and Lucky; Hilary' Duff's Lola; Scarlett
Johansson's Maggie; Sandra Bullock's Chihuahua mix Poppy; and
Demi Moore's Yorkie-Chihuahua mix, Louie.
Why do Chihuahuas appeal to celebrities? First, Chihuahuas are
normally 6-9 inches in height and 2-6 lbs in weight. This equals
a teeny tiny full grown pup. Because celebrities are always on
the move, they have a perfectly portable pet in a Chihuahua,
they can easily be taken nearly anywhere: the spa, the film set,
a private airplane, a shopping spree, a sporting event…you name
it. Also, celebrities seem to love buying accessories and items
for their precious pooches: carrying bags, jeweled (yes,
jeweled) personal collars, doggie sweaters and outfits, custom
made leashes, etc. Celebrities have money to spend; why not
diffuse cash on their peppy companion?
These dogs have not only grown in popularity because they are
owned by celebrities; they now stand on their own four feet.
Consider Paris Hilton's Tinkerbell, who seemed to have been the
groundbreaking pup which was first in the Chihuahua trend.
Tinkerbell even has her own doggie diary that is titled "The
Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries: My Life Tailing Paris Hilton" by
Tinkerbell Hilton. A doggie author? This book is 112 pages full
of Tinkerbell's first-person (or is it first-canine?
as she trails Paris around the world.
Are these celebrity pooches only as popular as their owners, or
can they exceed the fame of their mommies? Britney Spear's pup,
Bit Bit, is only popular because of the struggle between Britney
and Kevin; Kevin thought that Britney's Bit Bit might be harmful
to their children. Britney agreed to get rid of Lucky after she
snapped at Kevin one day in May, but Bit Bit remained. Are
Chihuahuas aggressive pups?
Chihuahua's are known for their extreme loyalty to their
owners. They are loving pets who demand attention from their
owners, yet they freely give it as well. They are wary of dogs
other than Chihuahuas, primarily because they are tiny and
sometimes are easily scared. If a Chihuahua is well-socialized,
they are happy to be dotted upon and passed around from person
to person. They are not recommended for children because
Chihuahuas are naturally nervous and edgy dogs, and the teasing
actions of a child may cause them to become afraid and nip with
their sharp teeth. Chihuahuas are energetic, dotting, and saucy
pets; they know what they want, and they plan to get it. Compare
their temperament to that of a celebrity; there seem to be a few
similarities. Is the primary appeal to a celebrity of owning a
Chihuahua because they can keep up with the fast and famous
lifestyle? Quite possibly.
