Why does my 3 1/2 month old chihuahua puppy drag everything into his bed?

My chihuahua male puppy drags everything he can get his teeth on into his bed which is quite large as he shares it with the cats. I find my underwear, about 7-10 toys, pieces of magazines or bills, old bandages, once my prescription medication, car keys, eye glasses, a blankie, pillow, clothing and doggie cookies. Tonight he tried to pull a pair of jeans I had folded and that weigh more than him off the couch so he could take it to his bed. It is cute but I wonder if it indicates something wrong, I have had a chihuahua before but she never did this. He is like that little ant in the song.

Why does my 3 1/2 month old chihuahua puppy drag everything into his bed?
First indication is the sex of your chi, he's a male and they are usually more dominant and possessive. Second, it's a small breed. They are usually always seeking out ways to be in control and size something up. Think of him dragging your jeans as a sign of possession and conquering something. He may also be teething and needs some chew toys. My puppy is chewing everything right now!





Your puppy isn't abnormal, he's just being a puppy.





He may not like sharing his bed either so he keeps filling it with the hope that no one else will fit :-)
Reply:security.. your things have your smell as well.. it comforts him.
Reply:I once had a a Puggy that did the same,.. she was my sweety.


Miss that, I think it's adorable.





Seems the Toy breeds are spunky and possessive, almost like crows supposedly attracted to shiney objects.





Nothing's wrong with your chihauhua, he's just a cutie who wants to be comfortable in his bed with lotsa stuff!





I'm a "hoarder" myself!
Reply:That is soooo cute ! i think he is just wanting to be around you,%26amp; it makes him feel snuggly.





I like to have a pile of pillows around me too, in bed. my husband says, i have a nest, it just feels cozy.
Reply:some dogs just do that.. they collect and horde things. Ive neer had a dog that did it, but have heard of dogs who do!





I guess if you are ever missing something, you know the first place to go look!








Keep dangerous items like prescription medications out of reach! Let him have some extra toys and blankies, and maybe even a tshirt with your scent on it that he can horde.
Reply:It`s the right of possession, everything is his, harmless and cute except for the medication, had the top came off, he could have eaten the pills with dire consequences. Be careful, since he is such a thief.
Reply:How about a bed of his own. Don't think he likes sharing his bed with the cats. There can't be much more room for the cats at this stage of the game.





Pretty much sounds like he needs his own space. Most of the things he has taken and put in his bed are "your" things. If your sent is on it, he wants it. You're going to have to put anything of yours up high enough so he can't reach them.





Get him his own bed and put it far enough away from the cats bed. Hopefully this will do the trick. Don't forget his blanky and toys and may one old thing of yours. If he takes any more things that are yours a little discipline may be needed.





There's nothing wrong with your little dog. Just because your other dog didn't do these kinds of things, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with this little guy. A little possessive perhaps.





I wonder what the cats are thinking right about now.
Reply:My male chi used to do this. Now that he is older he doesn't. It's normal for many dogs to do this especially as pups. They usually like having anything with your scent near them since they are imprinted with you as their mom or pack leader.


Its a security thing. Just be careful with what you leave around since you don't want him to get into anything dangerous. I almost had a heart attack when i read that he got your prescription medication once. Be extremely careful! Chi's are delicate and so tiny and it doesn't take much to OD them.





I think this poem explains it all!








CHIHUAHUA COMMANDMENTS!





If I like it, it's mine.


If it's in my mouth, it's mine.


If I can take it from you, it's mine.


If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.


If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.


If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.


If it just looks like mine, it's mine.


If I saw it first, it's mine.


If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.


If it's broken, it's yours.
Reply:He is just trying to claim everything as his. He is just a little greedy.
