Listening to stereotypes and generalizations can be more harmful than helpful, but when it comes to dog breeds, many stereotypes also contain a kernel of truth. Of course, a dog’s individual traits and physical looks will differ from one individual to the next, but breed characteristics exist for a reason.
For example, most Golden Retrievers really are everyone’s BFF, and many Siberian Huskies love to howl! When it comes to attitude, though, no dog breed even comes close to the infamous Chihuahua. These pups may be tiny, but their personalities are larger than life.
Finn, the long-coated Chihuahua, is no exception. Whether he’s arguing with his fur brother or asking Mom to play, he always has something to say. In fact, his June 5 complaints sound more like a human’s groans and grumbles than a dog’s!
Don’t forget to turn your volume up for this one.

What a sassy pants! Finn is quite upset that no one has tossed his toy to play fetch, but he has a great way of getting his point across. It’s impossible to ignore this grumpy pup!
“I have never heard so much bass on a Chihuahua,” one commenter admitted. I know exactly what you mean!

I hadn’t heard anything like this before until living with a roommate’s moody senior Chihuahua, and now I know that grumbles, growls, and groans are just one way these tiny dogs communicate. Many of my fondest memories of living there include senior pup PJ and his hot-and-cold attitude.
Finn’s commenters are just as entertained by how much he moves his mouth when he grumbles. It looks like he should be barking instead! A viewer said it best when he wrote, “it’s like a phone on silent but with the vibration on.”
Whether they go for the loud approach or the dramatic approach like Finn, every Chihuahua’s attitude is just as unique as they are. This funny dog likes to use his ‘inside voice,’ but he still gives his whole heart to every groan and grumble that comes out of his mouth. After such a big performance for simply wanting to play, I’d expect nothing less!
