When I create a Chihuahua Picture, I Try To Convey a Big Heart In This Small Dog

This smooth coated Chihuahua picture shows him sitting in a basket. Sure, he's a small dog that can be carried around with ease...but look at his expression. Such nobility!

On the other hand, he could give you quite a bark, enough to rival even the largest of the working dogs!

Here's another smooth coated Chihuahua picture, this one was the initial sketch for the painting above. It's a common site, so naturally I've put him sitting there in his basket...actually, he went there all on his own. ;)

The funny thing is that he has that look of anticipation in his eyes: "We're gonna play right?!"

Long Coated Chihuahua

When most people picture the Chihuahua, at least here in the U.S., they tend to think of the Taco Bell Chihuahua. However, avid Chihuahua admirers are very familiar with the long haired, or long coated, Chihuahua. The Chihuahua originates from Mexico and goes way back in history. It's interesting though how different characterists are favored within the U.S. and Mexico. There is more information on the American Kennel Club web site if you're interested, plus there's a cute Chihuahua picture .

Here is is...posed and graceful. Despite the small size of this breed ( AKC breed standard will actually disqualify the dog in Conformation if he is over 6 lbs.) they are actually quite strong. In fact, sturdiness in the gait is one characteristic judges look for in the ring...as well as being alert.

As if a Chihuahua could ever be lazy!
