The UK Kennel Club considers the two to be distinct breeds; mating between the two are not eligible for KC registration. The AKC considers Long and Smooth coated chihuahuas to be the same breed. Typically, the breed standard for both the Long and Smooth coat Chihuahuas will be identical except for the description of the coat.Both the Smooth and the Long Coats have their special attractions and are equally easy to keep clean and well-groomed. Colors and patterns can combine and affect each other, resulting in a very high degree of variation. Dogs of any coat type may be identified as either 'apple head' or 'deer head' Chihuahuas. Apple heads have rounded heads, close-set eyes, and relatively short ears and legs.
