How did the Chihuahua come about?

Question

I know that the Wolf is the first dog that ever existed on the face of the earth but how did it go from Wolf to Chihuahua?

Answer 1

Chihuahuas were originally thought to be descendants of an ancient, similar, but slightly larger breed associated with royalty in Aztec civilizations known as the Techichi. However, due to the lack of archaeological remains it is now believed that Chihuahuas were brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers. The most current theory holds that Spanish merchants brought Chihuahuas to Spain by way of their trade routes with China and from there to Mexico. The well documented practice in China of dwarfing both plants and animals is the basis for the theory that Chihuahuas originated there.[citation needed]

Chihuahuas were first taken into the United States by American visitors to Mexico.

Answer 2

Selective breeding. Someone saw something in a dog they liked and bred it to try and get that same trait(s) in the offspring. Do that over and over and over, and you'll get a Chihuahua, or a Bulldog, or even a slope-backed, hock-walking GSD _ YUCK!!! - g^2
