Chihuahua
The Chihuahua is the smallest officially recognized dog breed in the world and originally comes from Mexico. According to an old legend, its ancestors were already kept by Aztec priests in the 8th century—or, as other traditions suggest, served as ritual dogs of the Toltecs. Today, the Chihuahua is world-famous as a “handbag dog,” but often underestimated: it has a strong character, is alert, trainable, and surprisingly active.
Despite its tiny size (20–30 cm back length, 1.5–3 kg weight), the Chihuahua needs exercise, mental stimulation, and a safe retreat. With its bright eyes, expressive gaze, and charming nature, it is a popular companion for city dwellers and people who travel a lot with their dogs. Whether long-haired or short-haired, it loves warmth, closeness, and structure in everyday life.
For so much personality in mini format, Doctor Bark offers ideal products in XS and S sizes: particularly popular is the orthopaedic dog basket bed with a soft fleece reversible cushion. It perfectly supports the small body while providing comfort and security. In addition, the fleece dog blankets offer a warm surface on the sofa, in the basket, or on the go—machine washable at 95 °C.
For outings or city trips, the portable dog carrier bag from Doctor Bark is a great choice: it protects the Chihuahua from wind and weather, is comfortably padded, and makes transport especially convenient—whether carried over the shoulder or placed in the car.
As with all Doctor Bark products, the basket bed, blanket, and carrier bag are durable, dimensionally stable, and easy to care for—ideal for everyday life with your small yet demanding four-legged friend.
