A lot of times that doesn''t happen if the person is just going on looks alone.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMcHugh-Smith says dog owners can fight overpopulation by adopting rather than buying dogs from puppy breeders, and by spaying or neutering the pets they have. \u003cbr/\u003eShe encourages pet owners take advantage of low-cost spay and neuter clinics like those that will be offered here on International Spay and Neuter Day on Feb. 23, 2010. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I think the most important thing is people who want to get a pet, especially a Chihuahua, when we''re looking at the overpopulation problem that we''re having right now, the most important thing you can do is spay or neuter your pet to prevent this overpopulation problem and to prevent these animals from suffering or possibly losing their life.\" says McHugh-Smith. \u003cbr/\u003eAt the Cheeko-B Pet boutique in San Francisco, customers can find the perfect jacket, toy or other accessory for their dog. \u003cbr/\u003eOwner Kattya Breitenbach says many get caught up in the glamour of the fashionable bags, collars and other accessories they can get for their pets.\u003cbr/\u003e\"They''re adorable, you know, big ears little faces, and you know they are a lot of work and they need training and that generally unless you are really experienced and know how to do it, that costs money, and you know vet bills are the same for a little dog or a big dog and it''s expensive so I think that once all those things start piling up people realise it''s not a toy it''s a living being, and that they can''t handle it.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBut, she warns, having a dog is a big responsibility and should be well thought-out beforehand. \u003cbr/\u003eAnd while they may look like toys, caring for a Chihuahua is as labour-intensive as owning any other type of dog.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think that people come in and they get wrapped up with the glamour of it and want the bag and the matching collar and the little outfits but realise it takes out a lot of time in your day and it''s a lot of work and they require a lot of training.

Francisco. \u003cbr/\u003eChihuahuas were the 12th most popular breed in 2009 according to the American Kennel Club.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe American Pet Product Manufacturers Association''s 2009-10 report estimates that there are 77.5 million owned dogs in the US, with an average of 1.7 dogs per dog-owning household. \u003cbr/\u003eThey estimate that owners in the US paid an average of $221 to purchase a dog, with yearly expenses including but not limited to $229 on food, $225 on routine vet visits, and $64 on treats, and $66 on grooming. \u003cbr/\u003eAmericans are estimated to have spent
