According to the Chihuahua FAQ, not only is the Chihuahua the smallest breed of dog in the world, it's the only "natural" toy breed. That means that the Chihuahua is naturally small and, unlike toy poodles and other small dogs, it hasn't been purposefully bred to be a smaller version of a larger breed.
Chichuahuas can weigh up to nine pounds, but must be less than six pounds in order to compete in American Kennel Club shows. The dogs are usually between six and eight inches tall. They can have either smooth, glossy coats or long, shaggy coats, and both varieties of coat come in many solid and patterned colors.
Chihuahuas originated in the warm climate of Mexico and are indoor dogs. They make good pets for people who live in apartments, but are not known to be good with children.

I`m not a dog expert or anything but the smallest dog breed i`ve even seen would have to be a chihuahua. But there could possibly be a smaller one, who knows. I suggest you look it up on the internet. Possibly askjeeves.com is the best way to go :)

The teacup Chihuahua is the smallest breed, but the smallest dog ever was a yorkshire terrier, which was about the size of a deck of cards!

The smallest dog, by length and height is the chihuahua, with a yorkie coming a fairly close second:

Brandy the Chihuahua.
I saw a chihuahua once at night and totally thought it was a kitten...but then I was like hmmm I THINK it's a dog. When we got to it we chatted with the owners and they told us she was pregnant for the third time. I couldn't believe it I thought she'd be like a month old.
