So how much Chihuahua exercise is enough? Well, that's one of the great things about Chihuahuas.

Chi's are actually very athletic, but they can also get their exercise in the smallest of spaces! They run circles (figure eights, etc.) around furniture until they get all the exercise they need. It is better for them to run outdoors though.

Of course there are reasonable limits, and you have to take into account how large and old your Chihuahua is. For the average 4-6 pound Chi, you can probably walk a couple of miles (at least ours can).

And if you find your little Chi begins to look a little winded, the good news is they are light enough to pick up and carry a while!

Of course, you'll need to use a leash and a harness (collars are really not suitable for the sensitive neck of a Chihuahua).

Please be careful about what kind of surface you're walking on...asphalt is not a good choice when the sun is out, especially in the summer, for obvious high temperature reasons.

If in doubt, lay the palm of your hand down on whatever walking surface you plan to use and if it's too hot for your hand, it's probably too hot for your Chihuahua.

So pick a good day to walk and ask your Chi, "wanna go for a walk?". Then have some fun with your little buddy!
