Tiny but Mighty: The Fascinating World of Chihuahuas
If you've ever had the pleasure of owning a Chihuahua, you already know they’re intelligent, loving, and fiercely loyal—despite their tiny size! But did you know these so-called "rat dogs" have a history that dates back to the Aztecs? Or that royalty once used them as foot warmers?
This week on Fur Real, I’m joined by Linda Hempler, founder of Chi’s Chi’s and Me, to dive into everything Chihuahua. We’ll uncover the origins of the world's smallest dog breed, the meaning behind their name, and why these pint-sized pups are often misunderstood. Linda’s personal journey with Chihuahuas offers eye-opening insights into their care, behavior, and unique charm.
So, whether you’re a proud Chihuahua parent or just curious about these feisty little companions, get ready to learn why the best things truly come in small packages!
