The
Household Pet Chihuahua
"HISTORY".
The true origin of the Chihuahua is shrouded in mystery
although it is widely accepted that they were the temple
dogs of the Aztecs. Legend has it that the Chihuahua dog was
revered for its ability to guard against ailments of the
chest and throat. It was believed to be able to lead its
dead master safely through the nine lands of the underworld
and to guide the masters soul to heaven.
A blue Chihuahua was the most highly prized and is still
very valued today. Perhaps because blue is the colour of the
sky. The breed first arrived in Australia in 1954 but few
were bred. They were first shown in Australia in 1956 in
Victoria. The Chihuahua Club of Queensland was formed in
1969.
DESCRIPTION
Chihuahuas are small compact little dogs weighing as little
as one pound as much as six pounds. They are the smallest
breed of dog in the world. They have an apple domed skull
and large flaring ears. The Chihuahua has a flat furry tail
and come in both smooth coat and long coat varieties. The
muzzle is moderately short and the body slightly longer than
the height at the shoulder. The tail is carried up and over
the back. Both the smooth coat and long coat may have under
coat. Either variety can be efficiently groomed in 10
minutes each day. Over bathing can cause skin irritations.
Their nails do require cutting fairly often as they grow
long and curved and if not tended to, will twist the toes
and eventually grow into the skin.
PERSONALITY
Chihuahuas are easy to care for in small homes or apartments
but must have good fences around their yard. This is a very
intelligent breed which thrives on company either yours or
another Chihuahua. They can be possessive and need to be
treated gently but firmly. They are clean dogs and are
easily trained provided you are consistent and allow them
free access to the yard. They love sunshine and play and are
a very high energy dog. They have a cheeky personality and
are not nervous or snappy if bred properly and raised and
trained carefully with love. They are excellent watchdogs
and will bark if there is something to bark

Incessant
barking for no reason is a origin of boredom.
