We have one, on my wife's insistence. If she were bigger, she'd have to be on a leash or in a kennel...little bitch.

I read that in the wild, the Chihuahua are dessert dwelling pack hunters...imagine being taken down by like 50 of those little bastards all gnawing away at you...yech.

I actually also read that in the Mayan\Incan\Aztec culture (don't remember which one) they would use them to test if a person was evil or something like that. They would cut the person open and shove the dog into the stomach...and then the dog would claw and eat it's way out. If the person survived, they would be declared clean or something like that. I'll have to see if I can find more on that, but it was something we read in a dog magazine when she got the dog.

...double yech.

Fun fact: If you hold a Chihuahua upside down, it looks like a fruit bat...pisses my wife off every time I do that...
