i'm pretty sure chihuahua's are descendants of wild dogs, so they aren't really "naturally" that small

Foxes aren't dogs, they're a seperate species, but I think I see what you're asking.....
A type of fox, the Swift Fox, is about the size of a cat and it's the smallest wild canid in North America. Not sure if there's a smaller one somewhere else. Jackals are pretty small but I think they're closer to coyote-sized.

chihuahuas are the smallest breed of dogs, not sure if a fox is class as a dog, but no they are not the smallest. Chihuahuas can weigh from 2 lb to 6 lb.

No.Dogs are the descendants of wolves and foxes,so foxes can't be the smallest dog.The smallest dog should be the chihuahua.

Foxes aren't actually a dog. They are more closely related to hyenas than dogs, and I believe the species difference is so great that you cannot cross breed a dog and a fox.

Foxes are members of the Canidae family and are related to dogs, jackals, coyotes and wolves.
The Fennec fox is the smallest of all canines.
