3 Big Facts for a Small Dog – The Chihuahua
October 5, 2018

You know a feisty little Chihuahua when you see one, that’s for sure.

They’re all over the place. Whether it’s being featured in a movie or famously in its starring role in Taco Bell commercials, you recognize them straight away. They adorn the arms of Hollywood celebs, and it’s no wonder. There’s so much more to them than their small size. That juxtaposition is funny, we know! Read along to find out more about Chihuahua!

  • American Kennel Club Approved

For starters, the Chihuahua was one of the first breeds to be registered with the AKC back in 1904. When shopping for Chihuahua puppies for sale, you’ll be delighted to know that they come in so many colors and markings. They also have either short hair or long hair. Despite their history and adorable looks, they have never won a Best in Show at Westminster.

  • Record Holders

A Chihuahua holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest dog breed. There was a dog named Miracle Millie, who was a mere 3.8 inches tall. She was born in 2013. She was definitely the exception because most Chihuahua puppies aren’t that small or even get close to it. Here’s some good news! Though they’re tiny, they don’t have a lot of breed-associated illnesses, so they tend to have longer lifespans than other dogs.

  • Bit Brainy

Can you believe it? One of the smallest dog breeds in the world happens to have the largest dog brain in the world! Forget about their little bodies and let’s focus on the fact that they’re so brainy, both in size and ability. They’re very intelligent and quick-witted dogs. Housebreaking them can be a challenge, but overall these smarty pants are just that – really smart!
