Owner Info: Emilio is about five years old and weighs 22 pounds. His current owner found Emilio (he was a stray) and turned him into her local shelter because he had a chip. However, his owner never picked him up, so his current owner decided to bring him to her home. Emilio is an indoor dog who is housebroken and leashtrained. He is good with adults but can be aggressive toward other dogs. His current owner wrote: "He shows aggression towards my dogs. If they get close to him or try to play with him, he growls and snaps. He bit one of my dogs and broke the skin. I believe he has trouble with big dogs. At the shelter, there was another Chihuahua and Emilio wanted to play with him and he was not aggressive at all." She said the vet said that Emilio is completely blind although does not have cataracts. She said the vet commented that Emilio is very healthy and does have a low grade heart murmur. His current owner said that Emilio adjusts well to new places and is "a really good dog."
