About Chihuahua
ChihuahuaBreed standards for this dog do not generally specify a height; only a weight and a description of their overall proportions. Generally, the height ranges between 15 and 23 cm however, some dogs grow as tall as 30 to 38 cm . Both British and American breed standards state that a Chihuahua must not weigh more than 2.7 kg for conformation. However, the British standard also states that a weight of 1.8–2.7 kg is preferred. A clause stating that 'if two dogs are equally good in type, the more diminutive one is preferred was removed in 2009. Pet-quality Chihuahuas (that is, those bred or purchased as companions rather than show dogs) often range above these weights, even above ten pounds if they have large bone structures or are allowed to become overweight. This does not mean that they are not purebred Chihuahuas; they do not meet the requirements to enter a conformation show. Oversized Chihuahuas are seen in some of the best, and worst, bloodlines. Chihuahuas do not breed true for size, and puppies from the same litter can mature drastically different sizes from one another. As well, larger breeding females are less likely to experience dystocia. Typically, the breed standard for both the long and short coat chihuahua will be identical except for the description of the coat. Chihuahuas have large, round eyes and large, erect ears, set in a high, dramatically rounded skull.
The history of the Chihuahua is shrouded in mystery. While scientists and historians have speculated on its origins for quite some time, there's still no definitive proof as to where the Chihuahua actually came from. However, there are a few different likely scenarios that may answer this age-old question. Both folklore and archaeological finds show that the breed originated in Mexico. The most common and most likely theory is that Chihuahuas are descended from the Techichi, a companion dog favored by the Toltec civilization.
