Chihuahua
The Chihuahua is another popular Toy breed. He originated in South
America, and is named after a Mexican state. There are actually a long-haired version and
a short-haired version. Their coats can
be either short of medium, and they can be colored almost any color, although
the most common are fawn to red with white.
They are, again, the same size and weight in both genders. They are 6-9 inches tall, and they weigh 2-6½
pounds. They are spirited and
intelligent, and proof of this is that he carries his tail like a flag, high
over his back.
