In the first page you may have read the "basics" on Chis. But that can describe all types of dogs. It's not hard to be considered a Chi. Below are some different type of Chihuahuas that are capable of "qualifying".
Sox
Sox is a 6 pound smooth coat chi. He was born on Christmas Day in 1997. He has a very beautiful shiny coat. As you can see he has all of the Chihuahua traits. He was purchased from a pet store under the sign "Pure bred Chihuahua". But when you look at the dog shows why does there chi look different?
Brigette and Skimpy
Skimpy (upper right) is the larger beautiful full bred Chi. Brigette (lower right) is the cute baby chi. Skimpy is 5 years old and also fits the Chihuahua standard. He is a very fiesty dog and is very loved by his family. Brigette was 3 months old when she took this picture. As you can see her ears are trying to stand up. Every week they would stand a little more.
Update:
Her ears are now standing and she is cute as ever! That's not a very good picture of her but her color is just like Skimpy's and she is a fiesty little Chi. She was 8 weeks at the time of the picture. But if you have a chi and their ears aren't standing all the way up give it a little time. It's perfectly normal while they are teething. And in some long haired chis they may stand and then flop down because of the weight of the hair.
