How Can I Tell What Kind of Chihuahua Have?
Applehead Chihuahuas have a round, dome-shaped head with a short muzzle. Their eyes are large and round, and their ears are large and erect. Applehead Chihuahuas are typically smaller than deerhead Chihuahuas, and they have a more stocky build.
Deerhead Chihuahuas have a longer, narrower head with a more pointed muzzle. Their eyes are smaller and more almond-shaped, and their ears are smaller and more triangular. Deerhead Chihuahuas are typically larger than applehead Chihuahuas, and they have a more slender build.
In addition to these two main types, there are also several other less common types of Chihuahuas, such as the teacup Chihuahua and the longhaired Chihuahua.
Teacup Chihuahuas are extremely small Chihuahuas that weigh less than 5 pounds. They are typically very delicate and require special care.
Longhaired Chihuahuas have a long, silky coat that can be any color. They are typically more expensive than shorthaired Chihuahuas, and they require more grooming.
If you are not sure what type of Chihuahua you have, you can ask your veterinarian or a breeder for help.
