The pint-size chihuahua with a giant personality has been stealing hearts for centuries! The Chihuahua was named for a region in Mexico. Although the breed has existed for thousands of years it was only added to the American Kennel Club in 1904! This breed comes in many different varieties including most color combinations and coat lengths from short to long and wavy or flat making it almost impossible not to find a combination you love if small dogs are your thing!

Don’t let the small size fool you they are full of energy and personality and known for their loyalty and attachment to their human companions.
