teaka the famous chihuahua snoring away zzzzzz …..

snoring is a common occurrence in chihuahuas. it is attributed to their short muzzle and sometimes it is loud enough to wake the house up, and it is incredibly funny when you have visitors – no one can believe that such a small dog can make that much noise.

chihuahuas can also make snorting and grunting noises when they are playing or just investigating a new smell. this is perfectly normal for chihuahuas.

    My Merlin is tiny 18 months old weighs only 3 1lb and snores louder than my husband, he also makes a noise as though he is cholking through the day never at night, but it could be the grunting you talk about,I hope that’s all it is. He is my first dog and I am having to learn as I go.

    My Chihuahua does just that, when I work on my homework he like to take naps by my feet and would start snoring. Also he grunts when he gets really excited, often when we take him to walks or when visitors come.
