CHIHUAHUA (With long and short hair)
This breed, introduced to the United States by the end of the XIX century, took its name from the state of Chihuahua, in Mexico. Its origins are kind of dark, but most experts attributes this canine breed to the Aztecs or the Incas, famous for being the tiniest one in the world (some of these dogs weight less than a kilo).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Agile, brave and fiery, the Chihuahua seems to ignore how tiny it is and never doubts to measure its strength with any intruder, no matter how giant it may be. It is also a very effective anti-robbery alarm. It tiny size makes it very vulnerable to cold weather, so it is mandatory to protect it from this.
