Chihuahua Puppies

The Chihuahua received its name from the northern part of Mexico bearing the same name, that borders on the Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico boundary lines. Through archeological digs and the work of paleontologists, they have pieced together a history that goes back at least to 5th century A.D. and to show the existence of the Chihuahua's ancestors not only in the central and southern regions of Mexico, but also in South America as well. Chihuahua is a member of the American Kennel Club's Toy Group and no wonder because this little puppy have been given a nickname such as, Teacup, Tiny Toy and Pocket.

The AKC standard for the Chihuahua says these dogs should weigh no more than 6 pounds, and if you have ever seen a picture of a Chihuahua you will readily notice how tiny they actually are. Breed standards in different countries vary and in Britain, for instance, 2-4lbs weight is the accepted standard. According the F.C.I. standard, dogs over 6 pounds are disqualified.

Although these dogs are tiny, they are far from being delicate and weak. They have very few genetic defects and have a very strong immune system.

The Chihuahua is very loyal to his owner and will always choose you when presnted with other alternatives: be it another dog or any other attraction. The Chihuahua makes an ideal companion for elderly and single people. To make this breed even more special: Chihuahuas get along perfectly with dogs of the same sex.
