The Chihuahua is the smallest dog breed in the world and is also the
oldest breed in America. The breed takes
its name from the state of Chihuahua in Mexico where it was discovered
in 1850. It is believed that the
Chihuahua descended from Chinese hairless dogs which crossed from Asia
to Alaska on a land bridge before
continental separation and bred with the ancient Aztec Techichi dog.
The fist one was registered with the
American kennel club in 1905.
They are well known for their small size, large eyes and large ears.
Their coats comes in two varieties,
smooth and long. The smooth coat variety has a short, glossy, soft
coat over the entire body which is thinner
on the head and ears whereas the long coat has a soft, long, sometimes
very thin coat which can be slightly
curly or flat. Both coat types have a variety of colours including
fawn, black, brown and white. There are
many colour patterns and mixes including Blue Brindle and Chocolate
and Tan.
The Chihuahua is noted for its fierce devotion, loyalty, ferocity and
personality. They become extremely
attached to just one or two people and become very protective. Their
small size means they are suited to
apartments .... for more info visit:
