History
|
The world's smallest dog, the Chihuahua is the breed of dog considered truly indigenous to the Western Hemisphere. The breed's name indicates its ancestors came from the State of Chihuahua in Mexico. However, the breed's origins more properly belong to the whole of the country. It is thought that the Chihuahua is derived from an earlier breed known as Techichi, popular during the Toltec period, around the 7th century A.D.
It is said that the Long Coat variety was developed entirely in the United States by crossing the Short Coat to the Papillon and the Pomeranian. The Chihuahua has evolved primarily as a human companion. |
