I have a 4kg 5 yr old female chi (Maya/ex-puppy farm breeding bitch!) – she absolutely adores long walks and has loads of energy. It’s easy to know when enough is enough and not a problem to carry her if that were ever the case – so far though, that hasn’t had to happen. As a breed I think they have way more bravery/charm/energy than I would have ever believed prior to becoming an owner. As a companion for my elderly labrador Tess, she is perfect. We all go for slow walks together twice a day (slow is the only speed Tess can do now = arthritic 11 yr old) and I’m teaching myself that Tess is fine being left at home afternoons for her siesta while Maya and I hike. So good to hear everyone’s stories.

Would love to know what you feed your chihuahua? I am an avid hiker and looking to adopt a chihuahua mix that I could ideally take hiking with me. I understand most of what’s in grocery stores is garbage for dogs so looking for good clean alternatives that I can feel good about feeding to her. Thanks!!

He manages hikes with 2600 vertical ft up and down again without stopping, even on difficult rocky terrain.
We can also run 6-9 miles in the woods (no flat terrain either) with very few stops. He impresses me every time!
Our record is running down a 1,300 feet-high moutain down to sea level in just 9 minutes! I can barely keep up with him, he just flies!

On longer hikes, I take a special chihuahua backpack so he can rest or even sleep comfortably. He also lets me know he is tired by stopping and looking at me.

No extra food on these trips, only some water.

Great to hear about other mountain chihuahuas!

He gets water breaks and snacks along the way. He seems rejuvenated and happy to have a bath after and then a nice long nap:) he does not; however, do well when the temps get too high. He lets me know by simply stopping and sitting. He gives the signal pretty readily that it isn’t for him. When the temps are too high he stays home and just gets shorter walks.

We’ve not hiked with her yet but she and her pack play and hike our property all day long. I’ve never seen her energy less than theirs.

It’s either a myth that chihuahuas aren’t physical, that some just aren’t physical or that something about Appalachia turns chihuahuas into Labradors.

Insightful article however.

I live in the Smoky Mountains and it has become his main source of exercise after we found out that he absolutely loves it. Our first hike was up the summit of Looking Glass Rock off the Blue Ridge Parkway when he was a little older than he year. We planned on carrying him when he got tired and we waited for it…..never happened!!! That little guy climbed the whole hike with us and never tired, he drank plenty of water and ate with us. We were almost to the top and saw an older couple carrying their blue heeler back down the mountain (may have been old, but much larger than our dog!) Scout (our dog) ran ahead of us most of the time, but always stopped and waited or ran back for us anytime he was almost out of sight. Seemingly the perfect hiking companion and a very obedient, alert listener – which hadn’t always been the case at home when he was younger. My point is that his energy levels almost seemed to continually renew themselves throughout the hike, recharging only on his love for his surroundings and the curiosity of nature’s adventure, all the way up and back down the mountain. He never quit charging ahead full speed and certainly never lagged behind or even gave the slightest hint of being worn out until the day was done and he slept blissfully and happily satisfied on the car ride back home. So my question is, are some chihuahuas more capable and natural hikers than others? I feed him a clean/raw grain free diet which might also contribute to this but hadn’t even started that until he turned 2. I feel confident that he will always let me know if something is too much for him but he never has! Wondering if some chihuahuas are just “prissier” than others based on genetics and nurturing/training?
