I grew up in the same little bedroom community/farming town in Connecticut where I reside now, with a Boxer and assorted cats. It seemed as if almost all of my friends had horses. I received horseback riding lessons for many years, but an adamant “no” every time I asked for my own horse. Finally I was allowed to have my own dog, and so began my addiction to the Chihuahua. (Thank you, Aunt

Many of you may have misconceptions about the Chihuahua. Unfortunately, there have been many poorly bred ones throughout the years. As you read these pages, I hope you get a “feel” for what a wonderful little dog this is when bred and brought up right. One of the things that I love so much about this breed is its clan- nish nature. Hopefully you will not be limited to having just one, as watching them interact with each other will lift your spirits and bring a smile to your face. Chi- huahuas can be such little clowns.
The early history of this breed is a bit of a mystery, but I’ve shared what is known as well as some of the ideas that have been put forth. Perhaps you will draw your own conclusions. In addition, there’s much more to be learned about this wonderful breed from the pages of this book. You will learn how to identify the rep- utable breeder, who will be your support for the years you have with your Chi- huahua. You will learn how to increase your odds of having this dog at your side for as long as possible, as it enjoys a lifespan that is longer than that of most breeds. You will enjoy reading about dressing your Chi up and you will learn
