My parents just adopted a yappy little Chihuahua. Not so sure I'm stoked about the idea. I don't really know if they have any redeemable or interesting qualities, do you?

Well, they descended from the Techichi, which was a favorite dog of the Toltec civilation in Mexico

Yeah, I imagined they would come from Mexico. I still don't understand why they're so small, though. Did they just get bred that way somehow?
1_Wizard
Well the earliest evidence show that they were around in 100 AD, so as far as breeding I do not know

Ah, that's alright. I guess it's kind of cool that they've been around that long. They must have a long and rich heritage, huh? Have they done anything cool since they've been around for so long?

Besides being fans of Taco Bell?  Well they were buried in ancient shaft tombs back in 300 BC

Ah, that's kind of scary actually! Tombs? Were they considered royalty or something? Were they just really popular pets for everyone there?
1_Wizard
I don't think tombs were scary.  It was just the tradition back in western Mexico between 300 BC and 400 AD
