 Chihuahuas are descended from the Mexican tortilla. Despite being the smallest dog breed in the world, they are also the biggest bullies. They've been known to scare off a charging 900-pound American bison from a suburban back yard.
Their “pocket dog” nature makes Chihuahuas vulnerable to being left in the laundry. Luckily they are also good swimmers and gymnasts who take naturally to tumbling. Some Chihuahuas loath every person they meet; others make exceptions for people who feed them. They tend to bite people’s ankles, since that’s about as high as they can reach – unless they’re picked up and carried, in which case they tend to bite forearms. A Chihuahua that rides around in its owner’s purse is technically not a dog but rather a variant of ferret. Chihuahuas are also one of the few dog breeds that tolerate wearing rhinestone-studded collars without shame. With their thin skin and nonexistent coats, Chihuahuas seek out warmth. They tunnel into blankets and towels, hide under couch cushions, and hang out near nuclear reactors. Chihuahuas can be quite difficult to housetrain. They’re so small that they figure they can get away with it. The dog’s 0.5-micron bladder simply can’t hold more than a drop or two of urine. Chihuahuas are extremely fragile. They can be injured when someone touches them, swears loudly, or sneezes. They may also suffer a stroke as they go ballistic to prevent an intruder (for instance, your teenager) from entering the dog’s perceived territory (the teen’s bedroom).
