Chihuahua is the largest state in Mexico and it borders Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico in the United States. They are the oldest breed of dog found in North America.<\/p>\n<p>Chihuahua\u2019s have a proud Mexican heritage as they were considered sacred by the Aztec and Toltec tribes. Looking at artifacts from ancient civilizations you can see dogs that resemble the Chihuahua in their drawings and artwork. The Toltecs originally had a dog called the Techichi, which is a larger ancestor of today\u2019s Chihuahua.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/dog-breeds\/chihuahua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AKC<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHistorians credit the Aztecs with refining the Techichi into a smaller, lighter dog. By the time Spanish conquistadors toppled Aztec civilization in the 1500s, the Techichi was so integral to Aztec culture it was considered one of Montezuma\u2019s fabled treasures, once presumed lost forever after the conquest of Cortez.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s so interesting to see those famous Chihuahua shaped ears in ancient art and wall drawings. In fact, the Aztecs considered the Chihuahua a sacred creature. That version may not be what we know as the modern day Chihuahua but they were very similar in their characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more by visiting our <a href=\"https:\/\/irresistiblepets.net\/breed-profile-chihuahua\/\"><strong>Chihuahua Breed Profile.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check out our <span class=\"blast mmt-sentence\" aria-hidden=\"true\">ultimate guide to<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/irresistiblepets.net\/raising-a-chihuahua\/\"><strong><span class=\"blast mmt-sentence\" aria-hidden=\"true\">raising a Chihuahua <\/span><\/strong><\/a>for more resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog and has an interesting history.
