The Chihuahua ( (listen); Spanish: chihuahueño) is the smallest breed of dog, and is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Apart from different types of Chihuahuas, breeders across the world started crossbreeding Chihuahuas with other dog breeds in order to create breeds of mixed traits. The result of crossbreeding Chihuahuas with other dog breeds such as Pomeranian dogs, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Boston Terriers, Pugs and so on, usually ends up in a dog breed of a Chihuahua's body size and the other parent breed's coat color and fur traits. .
