Chihuahua Breed Information:
The
Chihuahua is the oldest breed on the continent of North America, and the smallest breed in the world! The history of the Chihuahua has been very difficult to trace and is based largely on speculation and theory. However, through folklore, legend, and archaeological finds, there is sufficient evidence to prove, without a doubt, that the Chihuahua is an ancient breed originating from Pre-Columbian Mexico. The most common theory is that the Chihuahua descended from the Techichi, a companion dog favoured by the Toltecs, bred with miniaturised Chinese dogs brought to the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors. Native to Mexico, the breed was named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The Chihuahua finally made its way to Europe at the end of the 19th century. The Chihuahua is courageous, extremely lively, alert, and proud. They
give and demand affection. The Chihuahua is strong-willed, intensely loyal,
and very attached to their owners. Especially protective, the Chihuahua will follow its owner's every move when strangers are present, keeping
as close as possible. They recognize their own breed and sometimes
disapprove of others. All Chihuahuas should be properly socialized at a young
age to avoid excessive aggressiveness. They are very intelligent and learn quickly, but are most receptive to gentle training and positive reinforcement. The Chihuahua doesn't like to be poked, pestured or teased, and may snap if provoked. Because of their small size, they will resort to using their teeth if they feel threatened. Despite their small size, the Chihuahua loves to excercise and should not be confined to very small spaces. They are also very sensitive to the cold.
