I saw a piece on Discovery Channel one night about a guy in Texas who attack trains Chihuahuas. He figures you need about a dozen of them, and that they are pretty unstoppable. The clip showed a guy in a full protection suit going into a house, and a few moments later falling backwards out of the house, covered by little fur covered Piranhas, literally taking chunks out of the suit. I've worn a protection suit against Rotties and German Shepherds. I know how hard they are, I've never had more than bruises from a particularly strong biter.... That clip changed my mind about those little guys. A couple that we know has 4 Chihuahuas. One is called a Teacup or Miniature, I don't recall which, but her fighting weight is less than two pounds. The also have a 75 pound GSD that lives in fear of the little girl, who routinely pounds on him. I think when you are that small, toughness is a survival trait. Bella looks like a pretty good example of the breed, but do watch the weight, I thought she looks a little thick in the pictures. Just don't let her drive the car.
