The Chihuahua is a breed of dog that originated in Mexico and is known for its small size. They typically weigh between two and six pounds and stand no more than nine inches tall. Despite their small stature, Chihuahuas are known for their big personalities and can be quite vocal. They come in a variety of colors and coat types, including short-haired and long-haired varieties. Chihuahuas are generally healthy and have a lifespan of around 12-20 years. They make great apartment dogs and are also popular as lap dogs. However, they can be prone to certain health issues such as dental problems and hypoglycemia, so it's important to provide them with proper care.
