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. The term smooth coat does not mean that the hair is necessarily smooth, as the hair can range from having a velvet touch to a whiskery feel. Longhaired Chihuahuas are actually smoother to the touch, having soft, fine guard hairs and a downy undercoat, which gives them their fluffy appearance. Chihuahuas have large, round eyes and large, erect ears, set in a high, dramatically rounded skull. Chihuahuas do not breed true for size, and puppies from the same litter can mature in drastically different sizes from one another.
