It is capable to run, jump and play nearly round the clock therefore it is necessary to walk him at least 3 times a day. In cold weather the quantity and duration of walks can be reduced especially as some chihuahuas agree to make the toilet affairs in a tray. But daily walk has to stand in the schedule of each dog, and for protection against wind and a rain it is possible to put on a special dog coat.
