Owned, Bred and handled by J. Watt.

The Chihuahua is the world's smallest dog and its history is shrouded in mystery. Some subscribe to the theory that it originated in Asia; others that it came from Europe, but no matter where the breed got its start, it really is a dog of Mexico. Figurines found in Chi-Chen-Itza, Colima and other ruined cities of the Southern American continent are very much like the present day Chihuahua. This coupled with the fact that in several Mayan dialects chi means DOG, would seem to place the ancestors of the Chihuahua as far back as the Mayan period. It is interesting to note that the ancestors of the Aztecs were the Chichimec, a name that means "son of the dog". Who knows???
Some day soon more data may be uncovered placing their origins even further back in time.

There are about seventy-five breeds that can trace their origin to the period between 1875 and 1900, and the
modern smooth coat Chihuahua was found on the borders of Mexico about that time. For many years there have been Chihuahua type dogs living in the village of Valle de Allende, in the south of the State of Chihuahua.

It was not until December 1955, however, that the first four Chihuahua were introduced into Australia.
