Purebred Breeders LLC | Interesting facts on Chihuahuas, Newfoundlands and the Dogo Argentino:
Chihuahua:
The Chihuahua is the smallest dog in the world and is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where that dog type is said to have originated at least 9,000 years ago.
Despite one being long-haired, the breed is not resistant to colder weather.
It is possible that the dog was considered a religious icon as remains have been found in Mayan, Toltec and Aztec burial sites.
Newfoundland:
The Newfoundland originated in eastern Canada, where it was known as an excellent work and rescue dog.
The breed has webbed feet, a tail similar to a rudder and an oily coat that proves resistant to water, and so they can swim in frigid waters for extended periods of time.
In 1919, a Newfoundland dog pulled 20 shipwrecked sailors to safety in a lifeboat.
Dogo Argentino:
Dogo Argentino (the Argentine mastiff) was created in the 1920’s by two Argentinean brothers who were trying to achieve the perfect dog for hunting and sporting.
The dog is a mix between big dogs and fighting dogs, like the Great Dane and Bulldog.
