    I have lived in Mexico for the past 8 years, and have a Deer Head, but my research indicates something most have never considered. The Dear Head is actually a Mexican dog that has been around here for the past 1100 years and was a favorite of the Toltecs. In the Nahuatl language they are called a Deer Head Techichi...meaning "little dog"....The Techichi is the parent breed where the Apple Head is derived from. The Apple Head Chihuahua, actually called the Chihuahueno here in Mexico, is a genetic mutation brought about by unscrupulous breeders, trying to breed the smallest dogs possible. The Apple Head first appeared around 1858 in the Northern Mexican state of Chihuahua.....Put the two dogs side by side and it is readily apparent that they are very different. The Apple heads have about half the teeth that the Deer Head does, and they usually have a molera, or hole in the top of their skulls....and then there are the big bug eyes. The Deer Heads are usually healthier and live longer than the Apple Heads....I have a Deer Head Techichi, named Dinamita, which is Dynamite in Spanish. The Techichi is the most aggressive breed of dog known to man, and if they were the size of a Doberman Pinscher, they would be uncontrollable....she is a warrior Princess and is definitely La Jeffa..."The Boss". The Techichis will usually live longer than the Apple Heads as well

    I am in my late 60's and have had chihuahuas since I was a child. When I was a little girl, the only chis around were the deer type. Appleheads were exceedingly rare. I think the AKC standards have ruined the breed. I currently own a healthy 5 pound deer type chi. Her veterinarian calls her a prototype chihuahua, meaning this is the way chihuahuas were before selective breeding resulted in dogs that meet the AKC standard. I almost wish the AKC would separate the two types. I much prefer the deer type and don't want it to go away. By the way, when I got my current deer type chi, she did have a molera, but thankfully, it closed.

Her name was Cricket because she was black and she would jump through the grass because she was so little. She passed away in my arms and it been almost 6 years now. I still miss her so much. She was like my little baby.

    I have a deer head chi my daughter has an apple head chi. I think the deer head is cuter. But do find both adorable! Both should be standard, and weight limits vary within a dog being healthy so a 10 lb chi is overweight I would have to assume. They come in various weights but 6 maybe 7 lbs is pushing it for a true chihuahua.

    I have a rescue larger (by breed standards) deer head chihuahua- she is whip smart and extremely well trained. I also own a rescue apple head chi who is very sensitive and easily triggered. She is very defensive and growls whenever she feels threatened. They are so different from each other and require varied management but I love them both. I was a large-breed lover until I met my first chi. Now, I love both large and tiny breeds (and anything in between).

    It’s really important for chihuahua owners not to baby them otherwise it encourages aggressive behavior. Avoid confrontations with other dogs, but when it happens, let your chihuahua feel confident and not that you have to fight for him/her. Also, keeping a calm environment at home helps. I have an applehead who is very calm,sweet and friendly to people and other animals.

    @@ceolaballard4646 He was one of mine that I bred (I'm a breeder in Southern California). If you're looking to get one for yourself, I recommend a website called puppyfind.com. You can search by breed and by state to see if there are any local breeders in your area. I recommend meeting with the breeder before paying any money because there are so many scammers out there. You want to make sure you see the puppy first before you make your choice. If you cant find any local breeders, many will ship their puppies, but that's a tricky thing too. You're not sure if the seller is a scammer so I recommend you require them to send you a video with your puppy in the video and them stating your name and the date in the video. Scammers often steal photos of puppies from real breeders and pretend they have that puppy to sell. They collect your money and never call you again. Just be careful and make sure you buy from a reputable breeder. Happy sweetie pie search!

    How about let the chihuahua be a chihuahua without mixing it with other kind of dogs, the authentic Mexican chihuahua is perfect the way it is, now they making them smaller and different head shape!! And his size bother the judges or is not acceptable? So the one that are on competitions(apple head and super tiny) are not a real chihuahua mmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔

    I’m not sure how the judges decide what a real chihuahua is and who wins, etc. The super tiny ones aren’t generally the winners though. Standard sized chihuahuas go up to 6 pounds. Many people want “teacups” which isn’t even a breed, it’s just a made up word to distinguish between a standard sized chihuahua and a smaller one. But like I said, it’s generally standard sized chihuahuas who enter and win competitions. I think it’s more the general public who pushes for teacups and I agree with you they shouldn’t. Tinies are much more fragile than standard sized chis. I get about 5 inquiries a week asking for a teacup and only about 1 a month looking for a standard sized. I do my best to educate when I do get those inquiries but most people dismiss the warnings and continue their search for a tiny.

    My Wife, Niece (she lives with us), and I have a total of 4 Chihuahuas. 3 are apple headed and 1 in dear headed. We do not breed or show. We also spay and neuter. These babies are family members and are treated as such. 2 are long coated, and 2 are short coated. My little girl just turned 14, our Niece's is 11, my Wife's is 10 and our latest baby is 5 months and seems to have bonded with our Niece....so I guess that makes her our Niece's.... A couple of months ago, our "old man" crossed the "rainbow bridge" at 19 years old. He was the entire family's baby. He was a dear head....we don't care what shape any of thier heads are. We love them all dearly...like I said, they're family...3 sleep in the bed with my Wife and me, the 4th sleeps in our Niece's bed. No floor for these kids!

Fiesty was named by her grandkids lol and oh boy does she live up to her name when she is excited! Yet she is the most tamed, well tempered chih I've ever met. She's 4 now and I love having her in my lap or laying in bed with me. She's so good with our 8 year old son, they are both crazy beans xD she is the reason I started liking smaller breeds.
