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.
