Question: Which breed of dog is larger, Chihuahua or Bernese Mountain Dog?

<P0-S0> A grief therapy dog (also known as an emotional support dog, companion dog, or comfort dog) is a form of animal-assisted therapy. <P0-S1>  Dogs have been proven to be able to assist people in overcoming grief, which has led to a recent rise in the use of therapy dogs; although animal-assisted therapy theory has been around since World War II. <P0-S2>  Grief therapy dogs can be found in locations such as funeral homes, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and hospices, and may provide support in situations such as funeral services, counseling sessions, and disaster relief. <P0-S3>  Popular breeds used as therapy dogs include the Portuguese Water Dog, Bernese Mountain Dog, St. Bernard, and Golden Retriever. <SEP> <P1-S0>  Chihuahuas come in a wide variety of colors, and two coat lengths. <P1-S1> The Chihuahua (Spanish: "chihuahueño" ) is the smallest breed of dog and is named after the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. <SEP> <P2-S0>  The name "Sennenhund" is derived from the German "Senne" ("alpine pasture") and "Hund" ("dog"), as they accompanied the alpine herders and dairymen called "Senn". <P2-S1>  "Berner" (or "Bernese" in English) refers to the area of the breed’s origin, in the canton of Bern. <P2-S2> The Bernese Mountain Dog (German: "Berner Sennenhund" ) is a large-sized breed of dog, one of the four breeds of Sennenhund-type dogs from the Swiss Alps. <P2-S3>  This mountain dog was originally kept as a general farm dog. <P2-S4>  Large Sennenhunde in the past were also used as draft animals, pulling carts. <P2-S5>  The breed was officially established in 1907. <P2-S6>  In 1937, the American Kennel Club recognized it; today, the club classifies it as a member of the Working Group. <SEP> <P3-S0> The chizer is a mixed dog breed originating in the United States of America. <P3-S1>  Chizers are a mix of the Chihuahua and the miniature schnauzer. <P3-S2>  This breed is NOT recognized by the American Kennel Club. <P3-S3>  The chizer has a combination of looks from both breeds of dogs, and can vary depending upon the breakdown of the breed. <P3-S4>  General sizes of a chizer range between 6-14 inches in height and approximately 4-15-lbs in weight. <P3-S5>  The chizer is a small breed dog, and works great in smaller areas, such as apartments, condos, and townhomes. <P3-S6>  The chizer comes in a typical variety of colours, usually grey, black, brown or white. <P3-S7>  This breed has a smooth, short haired coat that needs constant grooming, trimming around the eyes, ears and nose. <P3-S8>  They are usually low to average shedding dogs, and typically most groomers leave their facial hair to mimic a schnauzer beard. <P3-S9>  The ears of a chizer are medium in length and can stand erect when at attention, and their tail is usually docked. <P3-S10>  The chizer can have either an apple shaped head, or round head, with either a long or short snout, giving it either the appearance of a Chihuahua or Miniature Schnauzer. <P3-S11>  The body of the chizer is generally long and lean, with slender legs, and a square, robust back end. <P3-S12>  This back end tends to make the dog sturdier, and gives them surprising jumping abilities to reach great heights.
