Great Animals - Chihuahua

The CHIHUAHUA
The Techichi, a breed of dog indigenous to Central America, is ancestor to the Chihuahua which enjoys great popularity in the USA today. A favored pet, this dog was considered to be a religious necessity among ancient Toltec tribes and was credited with fighting off evil spirits.
Quite a big responsibility for a doggy that weighs in at 2 - 6 1/2 lbs at a height of 6 - 9 inches. I've always loved these little dogs and there's something about their faces (the short haired model) that reminds me of little Dwight David Eisenhowers, and I Like Ike!
