Sir Taz at 15 still snores and it is comforting – but every so often he will bark in his sleep and RUN many miles up against the calf of your legs if under the covers.

Good to hear that this is normal. Ruby snores so loud she wakes my husband. He can’t understand why it doesn’t wake me but I say it’s because I’ve had plenty of practice sleeping through his snoring!!

I adopted my lil Jojo almost a month ago. He is 2 yrs old. he too would make those noises. I never new what it was. It being he is a pure breed. I never had a pure breed chihuahua before. I have another but she is half chihuahua half schnauzer. Beauty she is. jojo though so funny and cute…roles around snorts…gives me kisses….loves to snuggle..true companionship…i love my baby’s sooo much : )

Both of my, 3 y.o. long haired Chichis, make these noises as well. I use a harness on each of them when walking them but they still make these noises when excited, sleeping, and playing. if they had to have a health prob… i’d rather it be this one… compared to health probs of other breeds. not 2 mention, it’s kinda cute, if not too bad! my Bellah has started jumpg up in the soft chair… rolls on her back and barks @ nothing. she wiggles around on her back and just barks? lol, too funny! i’ve got a video clip, that i need to upload, of her doing it ;p

I have three Chihuahuas, Mia, Ava and Bella. Ava makes little noises when she is comfortable or want some attention and we too call them her “Baby noises”. Mia makes all types of little piggy noises when she barks she snorts when she is settling down and getting comfy she takes a deep breath and snorts while exhaling and snores like no body’s business when she’s in a deep sleep. Bella is the quit one… well bossy quit one, she’s the baby. She don’t like to be waken up/disturbed while she’s laying with me by the other two or she gets very mad lol. I wouldn’t trade my girls for anything. They are truly my pride and joy and it is such a blessing to feel such a connection with animals this way.

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.

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.
