Nucky AKA Felipe Chihuahua Los Alamitos, CA

Nucky is a male Chihuahua born 4/2012. He is a beautiful red/white boy on long legs. Nucky is tall and weights 8.5 lbs. Nucky is very sweet, especially to children, he loves children. Nucky does well will other dogs as long as they are not too intimidating or big and likes to play with his toys and he co-exists nicely with cats. He is also snuggly and likes to be carried under jackets, so cute. He likes a game of tug and knows to sit for food. Nucky is a homebody but he is also happy to enjoy walks and even short hikes. He is not very vocal and looks like a little deer. He gets overlooked all the time as he is just another tan middle aged chihuahua, but he really is so special.
He likes dogs but not when it comes to mealtime or snack time and has to eat in his kennel if other dogs are around as he does not share well. He spends much of his time curled up in a bed, but does run around in the yard play too.
He has no health issues except as many chihuahuas he has bad knees, they don't bother him but every few month or so he will favor one of the legs for a day or so, then it will go away.
