Common Breeds Breed information and facts come from Wikipedia or other internet sources.
The breed draws its name from the Mexican State of Chihuahua, where the first of the breed were discovered. Some historians believe that the Chihuahua came from the island of Malta in the Mediterranean. More evidence for this theory lies in European paintings of small dogs that resemble the Chihuahua. One of the most famous paintings is a fresco in the Sistine Chapel by Sandro Botticelli dated 1482. The painting, Scenes from the Life of Moses, shows a woman holding two tiny dogs with round heads, large eyes, big ears, and other characteristics similar to the Chihuahua. The painting was finished ten years before Columbus returned from the New World. It would have been impossible for Botticelli to have seen a Mexican dog, yet he depicted an animal strikingly similar to a Chihuahua. Both folklore and archeological finds show that the breed originated in Mexico. The most common theory and most likely is that Chihuahuas are descended from the Techichi, a companion dog favored by the Toltec civilization in Mexico.
The breed draws its name from the Mexican State of Chihuahua, where the first of the breed were discovered. Historical records indicate that the Techichi hunted in packs. They can only be traced as far back as the ninth century but it is highly likely that this is the Chihuahua's native Mexican ancestor. Evidence of this is that the remains of dogs closely resembling, but slightly larger than the average Chihuahua have been found in such places as the Great Pyramid of Cholula, which dates back to the 2nd century BC and predates the 16th century. There is also evidence to suggest that the Techichi may predate the Mayans. The Toltecs were conquered by the Aztecs, who believed that the Techichi held mystical powers. In terms of size, the present day Chihuahua is much smaller than its ancestors, a change thought to be due to the introduction of miniaturized Chinese dogs, such as the Chinese crested dog, into South America by the Spanish.

This is Gordo. He was the inspiration behind
"Car-Pets". He is a poodle-schnauzer mix and he belongs to my best friend,
Ida.
Ida loves Gordo so much that she
wanted to have him with her all the time (in a matter of speaking). So she
asked me if it would be possible to have a picture of Gordo put on the back
window of her SUV. I took a digital image of Gordo, and, after a little
editing, I printed him on a sheet of 3M control-tac vinyl and installed him
on the lower left hand corner of the back window of Ida's Hyundai Sante
Fe. That started the whole "Car-Pets" concept. If there are other pet
lover's out there who would like one of our main breed pets ready to go, or,
like Ida, an actual image of your own pet, we would be happy to accommodate
you.
A Fellow Pet Lover,
Diane
