Everything You Need to Know About Chihuahuas

Small, yet sassy.

Chihuahuas are a small dog breed, but have enough attitude to make up for it. The 33rd most popular dog in the AKC registry, these small dogs have Terrier-like qualities and are not afraid to act larger than they are.

They can be short-haired or long-haired and come in all types of coat colors. Chihuahuas have large eyes and big personalities. The breed can be traced back to ancient 9th-century Chihuahua, Mexico where there are even ancient paintings that resemble modern Chihuahuas.
