About
The Chihuahua is a Mexican companion dog breed recognized as the smallest dog in the world.
The Chihuahua is the smallest recognized dog breed, standing noticeably shorter than other toy dogs like Pomeranians. Males and females share similar proportions, typically weighing between 2 and 6 pounds (0.9 to 2.7 kg). While their small frames make them easy to carry, their skeletal structures and skull shapes are fully formed just like those of much larger breeds.
