The feisty Chihuahua and their long history!
The chihuahua is known as the smallest dog in the world. It was named after Chihuahua, a state in Mexico. This dog has a variety of sizes, coat colors, lengths, and even head shapes. It’s believed the breed originally descended from the ancient dogs of the Toltecs called Techichi. Chihuahuas for sale can have a deer head shape or an apple head shape. Their ears are triangular, erect and pointed. Within the chihuahua breed these dogs can also have a short smooth coat, or a long coat. Most kennel clubs only recognize these types separately, and matings between the two are not eligible if you wish to show them. Petland Kennesaw always has the Chihuahua for sale, it’s one of our most beloved breeds! Check them out on our available puppies page!
This tiny breed packs a big personality!
A chihuahua for sale is from a height of about 6 to 9 inches, though some are known to grow up to 15 inches tall.

Pet chihuahuas may weigh up to 10-12 pounds, which is typically a better size for owners with lots of children as they can take a little more “rough love”!
