Let's talk Smooth-Coat Chihuahuas
Petite but mighty, Smooth-Coat Chihuahuas are the tiniest of breeds yet they possess a big heart. Instantly identifiable by their apple-shaped head and doe-eyes, their devoted stare conveys the enormous warmth found within. Chihuahuas are fiercely loyal, great for city or country homes, and with proper care, live very long healthy lives—often two decades or more. The breed also comes in a long-coat version.
