CHIHUAHUA 



Color: Reddish black and fawn. Weight: From \ l /2 to 4 Ibs. 



This dog is strictly of Mexican origin, though it is also found in the state of Texas. 

 It is the most diminutive of all breeds. Is remarkably game and exclusive in its 

 affections. His legs are very slender and toe nails very long and strong, features 

 which seem to justify the belief that in early days they inhabited the dense forests of 

 northern Mexico. The head is round with sharp pointed nose, and large erect ears. 



This breed is famous as a performing dog, being very intelligent and agile.
