Forums are getting rarer and rarer as time goes on. Social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have largely taken over with their groups and lists. Although they provide a great way to meet other people, new policy shifts have made keeping in touch with your friends difficult.
Forums may not have the popularity they used to have, but there’s something to be said about being able to chat with your friends in peace. They say many social media groups only show your posts to 10% of your following, so you’ll have to pay to be seen by the rest.
Imagine sending out party invites to 100 guests, but finding out only 10 are delivered. With a forum, everyone who visits gets to see what you have to say.
The Best Chihuahua Forums
With that being said, we combed through the net for the best chihuahua forums out there. As we mentioned earlier, there’s not too many forums out there. In fact, just two that weren’t directly connected to a social media website.
- Chihuahua People
Chihuahua People is the largest forum not attached to a big box social media website. It boasts almost 80k members. Unfortunately, replies are slow with only 1-2 new messages every couple of weeks. - All Things Chihuahua Forum
We just started our own forum! We only have 4 members right now. Our hope is that with your help, we can create an active community of new members visiting daily. Joining a new forum is intimidating, but we hope you will be one of the first!
To be clear, we don’t mind if your chihuahua is a mix, if you want to showcase your own blog or small dog related business, etc.
Besides these two forums there are facebook groups, twitter lists, and a reddit forum. These have more activity, but are vulnerable to social medias recent lack of reliability.
As we find new forums, we’ll update this.

I rescued a chi terrier mix 3 years ago. He was found wandering the streets in Texas; unaltered & heart worm positive. When picking him up from rescue they literally had to dump him n another crate because he was barrel rolling & couldn’t get him out of the van. Long story short, he barks (all the time) & tries to bite my husband on occasion. After 3 years he’s accepted pets & a lap from my husband & our 3,000 mile car trip was best buds with him. Husband has never done anything to him but be nice. I am at a lose. We’ve had husband feed him, give him treats (doesn’t like any), sit beside each other, used time out in crate in our area so he can see us, & use Good Boy trainer w/ a collar that will beep or buzz which he responds to but not always stop barking. He’s super cautious around people but has approached & even jumped on a lap of someone he usually only barks or growls at. Seems like he has a split personality! My husband has been diagnosed with ALS so there will be many changes in our future. Hubbys patience is growing thin. Barking & aggressiveness is a major problem plus fearful of him tripping him. Please help, don’t know what to do. Rescue thought he was 2 but vet said more like 8. He gets his nails cut & care at the vet but we always put a muzzle on just in case. My husband has to come first but I love this little turd! Help
Hi Jill,
That does indeed sound like quite a challenge. If you can get him a basket muzzle that allows him to drink/pant/take treats, that would be my first step with him. If he wears a basket muzzle around your husband, there is no way he can be bit, so working with your dog will be safer. Another step would be to use baby gates to divide the house so your husband can have a safe, dog-free space while you are working with him.
Do you happen to know if there’s a specific trigger that causes this? Is your dog resource guarding you? (Bites when he’s on your lap and your husband tries to come close) Is it when they’re sharing space or he tries to pet or walk by?
As for the barking, is this only at people? Or all the time?
