The chihuahua's name originated from the settlement of Chihuahua, Mexico, where it was first bred. Being the world's smallest dog, it is hard to imagine this breed originating from the wolf, which is why scientists theorize that it actually originated from the small, desert-dwelling Fennec Fox.

The Chihuahua is widely regarded as cute, with the features of its head being infant-like, right down to a soft spot in the front of its skull. Chihuahuas are also sometimes portrayed in popular culture as spoiled.

In the original games, the Chihuahua has four different coats: three long-haired coats (Cream, Red & White, and Tricolor), and one short-haired coat (Tan).

It can be difficult to differentiate the Cream Chihuahua from the Tan, but Tan Chihuahuas lack fur on the inner ear and tail, while all long-haired coats have feathery tails.
