Techichi dogs, the ancestors of modern Chihuahuas, were popular pets and worshipped animals among the Toltecs and the Aztecs. The breed originated in the Chihuahua state of Mexico and dates back to the 9th century. A soft spot on the head (molera) was considered to be a sign of purity. Today’s dogs of this breed saved this feature, but some lay people believe it is a sign of hydrocephalia. The dogs vary in weight from 1 to 6 pounds; pet quality animals may be larger. There is no such a type as so-called teacup or miniature dogs.
