About the Chihuahua
The Chihuahua takes its name from the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where the breed was first documented in the mid-1800s. The breed’s exact origins are debated, with theories linking it to the Techichi, a small companion dog kept by the Toltec civilization in Mexico, or to small dogs brought from China to the Americas by Spanish traders. Archaeological evidence supports the Techichi connection, with artifacts dating back to the 9th century.
