Chihuahua - Small and fragile but alert and bold, these dogs are the world's smallest
breed. They are named after the Mexican state from which it was first exported.
One undisputed fact is that Chihuahuas are the ultimate toy lap dogs. Both the short
haired and more temperature resistant long haired variety offer humor, comfort and
companionship. Their coats come in many colors from white to black/tan and many
colors in between. Grooming is minimal for the short coats and more frequently for
the long coats. These dogs weigh 2 to 6 lbs. and stand 6-9" at the shoulders.
