| The Chihuahua takes its name from the Mexican state from west Texas and New Mexico. It's name likely came from the ancient Techichi dogs of the Toltecs, crossed with hairless dogs from the Orient. Some historians describe the Techichi as a heavy-boned small dog with a long coat originating from Central America and it is definitely connected to the Toltec civilization near present-day Mexico City. The Techichi was larger than the modern Chihuahua and was mute. Chihuahuas make excellent house pets as well and wonderful companions. They are very portable, they are cheaper to take care of and they are adaptable to just about all living environments. | |||
