Chihuahuas

Chihuahuas, sometimes referred to as Chis, come in a variety of sizes and colors. They can range from a tiny two pounds to a rather large almost ten pounds. However, the largest of chihuahuas are not up to breed standards (as far as weight is concerned). They also can be found in almost every color and pattern imaginable. They can be one solid color or have a variety. Additionally, they can be yellow, brown, blue, white...the list goes on. They can trace their history back to Mexico and the state of Chihuahua there. As far as temperament goes, Chihuahuas tend to have a bit of a nervous one. They are extremely wary of strangers and will not hesitate to bark at them. Also, Chihuahuas tend to bond with one person over all others. They usually favor other Chihuahuas over other breeds of dogs. However, they usually are very patient and do not bite excessively (they also have very small teeth!). They are typically simple to train because of their eagerness to please.
