Question

Q1. Read the passage carefully and answer the given questions :
The world's smallest dog, the Chihuahua or the Pocket Dog is barely 1 kg to 2 kg as an adult! The Chihuahua
is named after a Mexican State, but its roots can be traced back to China. Today this breed is popular choice
among the dog lovers world over and their popularity seems to be ever increasing.
The main advantage of this breed is that they need no particular exercise. They are quite satisfied with their
walks within their house. Being small, however, does not mean that they are dull, on the contrary they are
sharp, alert animals, very strong in character. They are good guard dogs due to their strong cords. They have
an inherent curiosity that makes them want to know what goes on within the house,
For show purposes the maximum permissible weight is 0.9kg to 1.8 kg. Chihuahuas are of two types, the long
coated and the smoth coated. The long coated ones have flat or slightly wavy coats. The smooth coated ones
are soft textured and glossy in appearance.
They can be of any colour. Their heads are apple dome-shaped and in some animals, the frontal areas of the
skull do not fuse! The nose is short and the ears are at an angle of 45 degrees to the head. The dogs are
slightly longer than the tail and the tail is carried like a sickle that just touches the back. The body on the whole
is compact and has a graceful appearance. Occasionally a tail-less dog is born but tail cropping is not an
accepted practice.
Compared to other pups, they require little care, and only the long-haired variety needs grooming. They tend to
exercise themselves within the confines of the house. This makes them prone to have overgrown nails that
need regular clipping. As far as their diet is concerned, they could be fussy and choosy eaters, but then almost
all toy breeds are so! They are intelligent and learn easily.
They are very active within the house and literally are burglar alarms. They are good with children and are
loyal and devoted to the family. On the whole, the Chihuahua is quite a pet! At just six inches, it is bundle of
energy. Most people are surprised seeing these animals and the general awareness of this breed is still low::
However, just one hurdle remains. Because this is a pocket dog, it may pinch a few pockets.
