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 Maxican State, but its roots can be traced

back to China. Today this breed is popular choice of the dog lovers world over and

their popularity seems to be even 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 vocal 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 0.9 kg to 1.8 kg. Chihuahuas

are of two types, the long coated and the smooth 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 tailless 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 confine 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 Chihuaha 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.
