This Chihuahua portrait is an artwork created by an American photographer and digital artist Robert McClintock from his famous series “Dogs That I Know”. Robert McClintock’s strong composition skills and talent in capturing of a dog’s nature allowed him to make such a wonderful image.

Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog in the world! It was named most likely after the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. Some folks say that Mexican kings used to have Chihuahuas as hot-water bottles. Chihuahua owners call their pets “naughty little mexicans”. Typical colors range from solid black to solid white, spotted, black and a variety of other colors and patterns. The most sought for color is a very rare Blue Chihuahua.

Despite the tiny size these small dogs share the same spirit with their much bigger congeners. Usually graceful, devoted, lively, brave and very healthy, with big babyish eyes, Chihuahua are guarding their territory. They are easily provoked to attack, they can be jealous because of their focus on their master. It is not recommended to take Chihuahua puppies in families with small children because of their temperament.

Chihuahua is certainly a “star” dog. Many celebrities, for instance, Madonna, Mickey Rourke, Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears own a dog of this breed. In 2008 Walt Disney Pictures made all Chihuahua lovers happy by releasing a comedy called Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
