background
If you use the word in Germany Chihuahua hear, many people think first of all of the dog breed of the same name and not of a semi-desert in Mexico. The Chihuahua breed has been considered the smallest breed of dog in the world since 1850. With some likelihood these dogs are descended from a breed known as Techichi referred to as. These dogs probably played an important role in religious ceremonies: they were sacrificial animals. But the knowledge about it is very sketchy.
