🐕 NEW: New genetic #research shows #Chihuahuas carry a small amount of #coyote ancestry, possibly from crossbreeding many generations ago.
The #study validated a new #ancestry method on American #dog breeds, including the #xoloitzcuintli. Chihuahuas also retain roughly 4% pre-contact dog ancestry. Coyote #genes didn't make them small – a mutation in the IGF1 gene explains most small breeds.

Kids posting funny and creative reels on IG about @plantsculptures, their labor of love. Check it out and give a follow if you're up for it. I am not a fan of IG, to put it mildly, but I am a fan of my kids and what they're up to. So I follow them and one other account that is all about #chihuahuas (I think the #DogsOfMastodon would approve, especially since Jugs the Pug makes a cameo appearance).

🐶🩺 We know #pugs and #bulldogs struggle to breathe, but a new study of 900 #dogs shows that breeds like #chihuahuas and #boxers are also at risk.

The best part about #chihuahuas are the gentle finger massages.

Cats with jobs, police dog rescues lost kids, life of a chihuahua mama, and sheep with big butts.

Bear was my favorite. He was so sweet, and weirdly smart. He lived for 16 years. Really miss him. #chihuahua #chihuahuas #dog #dogs #cute

In the 2000s my family bred chihuahuas as a side business. We had 15 at one point. Here are a few. Alt text has their names. #chihuahua #chihuahuas #dog #dogs #cute
