Here are some Chihuahua gift items. Two frames from E&S and a sculpture from A Breed Apart. The big plush Chihuahua in the back is Ole from Douglas. Some of these items are in the Gift Shop.

The Chihuahua is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. This dog is native to Mexico and is named after one of that country's states.

These little dogs are from 6 to 9 inches high and only weigh from 2 to 5 pounds. They are generally colored light sand, chestnut or fawn and can also be silver or steel blue. They can be a solid color or dappled.

These dogs are lively, affectionate and very intelligent. Despite its small size, the Chihuahua needs exercise and should be allowed to run or take walks, especially when it is an apartment dweller.
