Breed history

The Long-Haired Chihuahua traces its origins to Mexico, where its ancestors—the Techichi—were kept as companion dogs by ancient civilizations including the Toltecs and later the Aztecs. The modern Chihuahua was developed in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, from which the breed takes its name. The long-haired variety emerged naturally through selective breeding, possibly influenced by small companion dogs brought by Europeans. Today, the breed is cherished worldwide as a devoted, portable companion.
