Chihuahuas are prized for their devotion and personality. Their alertness, intelligence and size make them easily adaptable to a variety of environments, including the city and small apartments.

Chihuahuas, and other toy breeds, are also prone to the sometimes painful condition known as patella luxation.

Chihuahuas are sometimes picky eaters, and care must be taken to provide them with adequate nutrition.

The Chihuahuas made famouse with the intriguing character (Taco Bell Dog) that had won over so many with its "Yo quiero Taco Bell" (I want Taco Bell) tagline. This campaign was introduced to the whole of the American market in early 1998.

This is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world.
