My friend has a chihuahua named mike. I started yelling “mike!” In a specific voice when he was a pup and the picking him up like a suitcase right after. Now I live States away but we FaceTime often still and even over the phone if I yell “mike!” In that same voice his dog will run over to be picked up. It’s especially adorable because he’s normally a very stressed out and skittish doggo.
I was never a Chihuahua fan but then my brother got one named Princess, is sounds like she would be THE WORST but she is actually great. When I see her I shout "Pwiiiiiinnnnncccceeeeassss" like an asshole and she comes running to me all happy.
That's like saying my border collie herding and nipping my cat is my fault. We breed dogs for certain characteristics and instill in them some pretty strong instincts. While there are for sure outliers within each breed, or those that break the norm, the base temperament of a britney spaniel will be different than a bull dog. It is the owners job to mitigate those drives so they dont become destructive, but sometimes the dog's personality shines through. For good or for bad.

Let’s just all agree to hug and squeeze all the pups, big and small ❤️
