When I first heard my friend use the phrase “pocket chihuahua,” my eyebrow had to have raised while I wondered what the hell she was talking about. “She’s probably talking about a ‘teacup chihuahua,’ I thought. And as my mind kept thinking about little mini chihuahuas you would carry around in your pocket, my friend kept explaining to me how much she wants to get one of these little pocket chihuahuas.<\/p>\n

And as I listened to her talk and go on and on about how much one of these micro picket tea cup chihuahuas would mean to her, I couldn’t help but wonder why on earth it’s so important to some of us that our dogs be so insanely small and tiny.<\/p>\n

I recently learned that these tiny chihuahuas are as small as they are either:<\/p>\n

a)<\/strong> because they are just young puppies that have not grown up yet into their full size,<\/p>\n

b)<\/strong> they are adults, but have remained small because whoever took care of them when they were developing fed them the bare minimum it took to sustain their little bodies and malnourished them into remaining small and underdeveloped,<\/p>\n

or c)<\/strong> because they are the product of breeders’ selection, where only the smallest chihuahuas are bred again and again with each other, with a lot of inbreeding and very little genetic diversity introduced from generation to generation and, as a result, a lot of inbred health problems cropping up with these little guys.<\/p>\n
