chihuahua
Smallest dog breed
A chihuahua is a very small dog breed with large pointed ears and a rounded head, typically weighing under six pounds.
Despite their size, chihuahuas are known for bold, sometimes aggressive temperaments: That chihuahua thinks it's a pit bull.
They are popular as companion dogs, often carried in bags or tucked into clothing. (Capitalized Chihuahua is the Mexican state.)
