Official standard of the chihuahua
The American kennel club (AKC) official standard of the Chihuahua breed states that:
The general appearance of the Chihuahua is swift, alert and graceful and with a temperament similar to that of the terrier.
A well balanced Chihuahua is not more than 6 pounds. Over 6 pounds means it is disqualified as a little dog.
A well rounded “apple dome” skull, with or without molera with a non-protruding full round eyes that is either luminous ruby or luminous dark.
The depression at the top of the Chihuahua’s skull is called a molera. The molera at the top part of the skull along with the wider upper part but narrower around the jaw gives the Chihuahua an apple dome skull.
It may take a bit longer for the apple shape to become noticeable in a puppy Chihuahua.
According to the AKC the bite is: “level or scissors. Overshot or undershot, or any distortion of the bite or jaw, should be penalized as a serious fault.”
The Chihuahua has large ears that stand erect when alert and flares sideways when in repose with a slightly pointed, short snout.
The Chihuahua is has been cross bred with other purebreds such as with the poodle and the resulting breed is called the chihuahua poodle mix or the chipoo.
