The smallest recognized dog breed, the Chihuahua hails from Mexico and packs an outsized personality into a tiny frame. They are fiercely loyal to their chosen person, often bold and sassy beyond what their size would suggest, and can be surprisingly long-lived, frequently reaching 15 years or more.
