CHIHUAHUA
Color: Reddish black and fawn. Weight: From 1½ to 4 lbs.
This dog is strictly of Mexican origin, though it is also found in the state of Texas. It is the most diminutive of all breeds. Is remarkably game and exclusive in its affections. His legs are very slender and toe nails very long and strong, features which seem to justify the belief that in early days they inhabited the dense forests of northern Mexico. The head is round with sharp pointed nose, and large erect ears.
This breed is famous as a performing dog, being very intelligent and agile.
