The rumor started after folk who traveled along the Mexican Border with Texas and Arizona over one 150 years back spotted the breed. dime stories weren't the sole places where story tales about chihuahuas were spread. Such outlines were regularly exaggerated to make the Aztec Folks appear completely pagan to Christians and, so, explain their conquest and conversion. While we are certain that Chihuahuas were employed in Aztec worship rites, there isn't any proof to date that any were eaten. Many have been found buried with folk, so it's possible they died to join their owners in death.
Because they're far littler and appear to be so different to the other dog breeds, a number of old other halves tales exist about these little animals. Captains, chums and others who worked on board ships in the California of the middle to late 1800's found Chihuahua dogs to be brilliant companions. Not only would these dogs sound the alarm if anybody came near their private property, but they were sufficiently little to be welcome on board vessels of any size. If you do not have the time to socialise your Chihuahua puppy then you should not get one. They can be snippy and will bite a kid if provoked. Interestingly enough, it is known that some dogs appear to possess the facility to diagnose cancer or other health issues in various parts of the body.
as late as 30 years back, folks living in the Southwest would get a Chihuahua for a kid or member of the family with Asthma or Allergy issues. We are just now discovering that seafarers could have visited our shores long before Columbus or perhaps the Vikings. Nobody actually knows the precise origin of the Chihuahua. Modern science has shown this to be fake. Years back, a tale appeared in one of the superstore tabloids announcing a couple who visited Mexico was sold the cross-breed of a rat-dog mix that looked like a Chihuahua. This lead to the often repeated and similarly foolish story about a couple who vacationed in Mexico and brought home a sewer rat they purchased as a Chihuahua.
I knew about chihuahua history, this is interesting stuff.
