is paris hilton to blame for the abandoned chihuahua epidemic?

sfgate.com reported that paris hilton has been blamed for an epidemic of abandoned chihuahuas in california animal shelters because she’s made toting around chihuahua puppies in tiny handbags a major trend.

the hotel heiress was investigated last year after admitting she owned 17 dogs, allegedly breaking u.s. laws that ban non-breeders from having more than three per address.

animal shelter bosses in santa barbara have now prohibited anyone under age 21 from adopting a miniature pup after seeing a growing trend of young women dumping their full-grown dogs when they’re sick of caring for them.

activists are now blaming hilton’s menagerie of teacup-sized chihuahuas for the growing problem.

chihuahua club of america head lynnie bunten tells the national enquirer, “chihuahuas are not a toy or a fashion accessory. but because some people think they are — then realize they’re wrong — there’s a growing problem of abandoned chihuahuas.”

famous chihuahua wants to know what you think.

is paris hilton to blame for accessorizing the chihuahua and for the growing problem of abandoned chihuahuas or is this really about careless and spontaneous decisions being made by uneducated young women?

if you love chihuahuas, adopt one. help us help abandoned chihuahuas everywhere by rescuing them from a shelter and providing them with a home.

how many times have you seen or experienced one of the following scenarios? you go for a walk and see a chihuahua walking with it’s owner barking up a storm while another dog is walking by or you visit a friend or relatives home only to be greeted by barking chihuahuas?

although chihuahuas are one of the world’s most adorable pets, its no secret that they can also come across as being mean little dogs, hence the saying, the biggest trouble can come in the smallest of packages. in fact, if you were to survey people asking for reasons why they would not want a chihuahua, the number one answer would be that they are yappy or high-strung.

what most people don’t understand is that this ‘yappiness’ is only a protective measure by which chihuahuas resort to in order to put their best effort forward to guard their owners and property of the unknown.

if you think about it, given that they are so small, what else do they have other than their bark to make themselves seen and heard? it’s their nature to feel like they have to protect at all times so it is important that chihuahua owners teach their chihuahuas to not bark. if they don’t, the end result is a yappy and sometimes vicious chihuahua.

famous chihuahua invites it’s readers to tune into the national geographic channel this friday for a special episode of the dog whisperer, where cesar millan, a renowned dog behavior expert, heads to portland, washington to tackle one of his toughest cases yet, a vicious chihuahua named el diablo. at the luv-a-bull rescue organization, el diablo acts like a dictator, ruling the 50-acre facility and scaring the much larger pit bulls that live there.

so if you are a chihuahua owner whose chihuahua exhibits similar disruptive behavior, then you don’t want to miss this episode on chihuahuas from hell friday, january 30 at 8 pm et/pt.

the message here is simple. it’s not that we don’t love our chihuahuas, but why not train them to be loved by everyone!
