Etymology

The Chihuahua is named after the Mexican state of the same name, where the breed was discovered in the mid-1800s. It's believed to have descended from the Techichi, a small companion dog kept by the ancient Toltec civilization in Mexico. The breed became popular in the United States in the early 20th century, particularly after being featured in movies and by celebrities. Chihuahuas are one of the smallest dog breeds, often weighing between 2 to 6 pounds. Their popularity has led to various mixed breeds and fashionable variations, making them one of the most recognized small dog breeds around the world.
