Finley The Chihuahua joins Doggie Day Care.

Meet Finley, the first Chihuahua to join Day Care. Finley is very loved by his owners and often arrives in a stylish t-shirt or rain coat if the weather isn't great.

He is a very nervous dog and we know how difficult it was for his owners to leave him on his first day. We had to work hard with Finley, to get him used to a new surrounding. Spending time with other dogs, some much bigger than him and also getting used to lots of new people. For a dog this small, you have to appreciate every must be so daunting! Finley loves the security of a warm blanket and being high up on your knee!


The Chihuahua originates from Mexico. The most common theory and most likely is that Chihuahuas are descended from the Techichi, a companion dog favored by the Toltecs civilization in Mexico. The Techichi was bigger than the present day Chihuahua, we think this might have began with the introduction of miniaturized Chinese dogs such as the Chinese Crested Dog in South America by the Spanish.
The Chihuahua is acceptable in any colour, solid, marked or splashed. This means colours such as solid white or black are common as are fawn and solid with slashes of colour.

So far Finley has been in twice and really benefited from Doggie Day Care - he is venturing out more really beginning to trust the carers which is a joy to see.
