Chihuahua on väga vana koeratõug, kelle sarnaseid koeri on jäädvustatud isegi tuhandete aastate vanustel joonistustel.
Chihuahua pärinemisest on mitmeid teooriaid – on väidetud, et nad olevat pärit Hiinast, Maltalt,
Mehhikost. Tõenäoliselt pärinevad need väikesed koerad siiski maiade, tolteekide ja asteekide
peetud pühadest koertest. Hernando Cortes hävitas asteekide kultuuri 1500 alguses, kuid siiski osa
asteeke ja nende koeri säilis.
Ameeriklased avastasid tõu uuesti 1850. aastal Chihuahua nimelisest külast Mehhikos. Oli levinud
üleüldine arvamus, et need väikesed koerad põlvnevad asteekide pühadest koertest.
Teine teooria põhineb Malta saarelt, kus chihuahuat meenutav koer leiti muumiana 3000 aastat
vanast hauast. Muumial oli pealael ainult chihuahua tõule iseloomulik molera. Sama tõestab leitud
vana (100 a e.m.a) savikuju mehest, kel oli kaks chihuahuat rihma otsas. Selle teooria põhjal on tõu
päritolu Euroopas. Seda teooriat toetab ka Sixtuse kabelis olev Boticelli maal aastast 1482, kus on
kujutatud chihuahuat meenutav koer. See on aga 10 aastat enne Kolumbuse reisi uude maailma.
Chihuahua tõugu on alati ümbritsenud saladuseloor. Usuti chihuahua võimet
parandada haigeid. Chihuahua tõugu sellisena nagu me teda praegu tunneme, võiks nimetada
peaaegu Ameerika tõuks - ameeriklased tõid palju koeri Mehhikost, Chihuahuast - ning tõug saigi
nime selle koha järgi, kus nad olid ainukesena säilinud.
I went to one of the home, with a lot of dogs and cats. Dogs are basically chihuauhas. There was also a 1.5 litter of puppies on monthly basis. How beautiful!
Chihuahua is a very old breed, which is similar to dogs, even thousands of years of recorded
aged in their drawings.
Chihuahua 'origins are several theories - is alleged to be coming from China, Malta,
Mexico. Probably derived from these small dogs, however, Mayan, Toltec and Aztec
considered sacred dogs. Hernando Cortes destroyed the Aztec culture in early 1500, but still part of the Aztecs and their dogs survived.
The Americans discovered the breed title again in 1850 in the village of Chihuahua in Mexico. There was widespread general belief that these small dogs are descended from the Aztec sacred dogs.
Another theory is based on the island of Malta, where the mummy was found in 3000 Chihuahuas dog resembling years old grave. The mummy was only the top of the head chihuahua breed characteristic molera. This proves found Old (100 BC), a clay statue of a man who had two Chihuahuas leash. This theory is based on the breed originating in Europe. This theory is also supported by painting of Boticelli in the The Sistine chapel since 1482, where is a dog resembling Chihuahuas. It is, however, 10 years before Columbus's journey to the new world.
Chihuahua breed has always been surrounded by a veil of secrecy. It was believed chihuahua ability to heal the sick. Chihuahua breed as we know it today, could be called almost American breed - the Americans brought a lot of dogs from Mexico, Chihuahuas - and the breed became the name of the place where they were the only one survived.
