We met Ama and Cleo yesterday. They are beautiful little chihuahuas and certainly created a stir among the passers by.
Their owner Tanya is making plans for her new venture the Chihuahua Café, and while she sources premises in Edinburgh, she is running a pop up café on Rose Street this month.
Tanya’s little dog, Ama, is the whole reason why the idea for the new business came to mind, but she has seven other dogs all different shapes, colours and sizes.
Ama is four and a half and very much the mummy of the pack. She gets privileges like riding up front in the car, but she is also in control of teaching the others how to behave well. Tanya explained about her award-winning pooch :”Ama means love in Spanish, and she is our little love bug!”
Cleopatra known as Cleo is eight months old. She was given the name because of her eyeliner marks around her eyes.

The concept is that you get to chat with a chihuahua while drinking your cappuccino. The pets will roam freely among customers giving them some love and attention, perhaps helping you with the stress of day to day. If you would like a dog but for whatever reason you can’t have one, then this will fit the bill.
And certainly these two little glamour girls seemed to love the attention they were getting on Chambers Street yesterday!
There will be a pop up on 20 August at The Melting Pot on Rose Street (just behind M&S) and you can find out more and get tickets here
