Chihuahua

Small and fragile but alert and bold, these dogs are the world's smallest breed.  They are named after the Mexican state from which it was first exported.  One undisputed fact is that Chihuahuas are the ultimate toy lap dogs.  Both the short haired and more temperature-resistant long haired variety offer humor, comfort and companionship.  Their coats come in many colors and patterns.  Grooming is minimal for both coat varieties.  Truly a "wash-n-go" dog.  These dogs typically weigh 2 to 6 lbs and stand 6-9" at the shoulders. Also, long coat Chihuahuas shed less than smooth coat Chihuahuas!
