Deer chihuahuas have Toy terrier, Min pin or Manchester terrier in their background. It may be falsified on papers, but is is true. Then the slimmer headed Chihuahuas resulting from the mix bred to each other, untill the size was back to where it belonged, and the results were somewhat stanardized..they also tend to be longer legged, and higher stepping,(as are Manchesters) and have more knee problems (bowed back legs ) It has never been an AKC standard approved variation of the true Chihuahua.. The true (pure) Chihuahua is apple headed..(I used to breed Chihuahuas.).

There are only 2 types of chihuahuas...long and short hair. A deerhead is not a recognized type, but breeders use it to describe a chi when it has a longer nose and doesn't have the coveted "applehead" shape. There is also no such thing as a "teacup".

What is the difference between a "deer" chihuahua and an "apple dome" chihuahua?
The answer is simple, the shape of the head. Deer head chihuahuas have flatter heads, eyes closer together and usually longer noses. Apple dome chihuahuas, which are more desirable, have a rounded head, usually a shorter muzzle and wider set eyes.

It is not a variation, it is a fault. Just because they give it a cutesy name doesn't not make it any better, they are suppose to have a dome shaped head. If one doesn't, it has a bad quality head.

It is not a recognised breed in the UK. I believe it is a made up name.
