dia ,it will be the most loyal dog you will ever own ,more than likely the dog will own you.i have 2 right now and have had 3 in the past and all were loving loyal animals ,the key to raising them is to socialize with other animals and children ,dont hate on them for tearing things up they do that because they are bored,if it is a male and you dont plan on breeding have him nutured ,they will piss on everything to mark territory,if it comes necessary to keep them in the house you wont regret nuturing him. both mine are inside dogs and they love attention ,just resting your hand on them is love to them. any way i could go on forever ,it just pisses me off how the breed is looked at ,when it comes down to it ,the raising and love you give it is how it will turn out. a damned chihuahua will rip your face off quicker than a bulldog,i hate a yappy ass little dog.if you have 15 acres that will keep him busy and take him places with you for socializing and he will be your best friend for life
