The Chihuahua is a tiny creature that can be hidden in your bosom. At the same time, he growls and barks like a Real Big Dog. He will never hide from an enemy if his owner is in danger. The “strong, balanced” type, with nerves of steel, is a rare trait for a small dog. There is a philosophical calm in his dark eyes, his nose the size of a large currant is upturned contemptuously. This beast is characterized by arrogance and self-control: it looks down on everyone who is “not their own.” But he adores his owner jealously and reverently.
Chihuahuas are dogs that remain living evidence of the existence of the developed Aztec civilization in Mexico.
Interesting fact: the breed got its name from the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Back in the 9th century, the Toltec Indians raised the small, quiet ancestors of these animals for food or for sacrifices to local deities.
They were almost exterminated by the Spanish conquerors, but the breed literally rose from the ashes. American tourists willingly bought pocket-sized living souvenirs from Mexicans, thanks to which these cute animals won the hearts of dog owners.
Breed standards have been eroded over the course of long experiments. There are long-haired and short-haired subspecies, the color pleases with variety. And in the selection below you will find the same varied nicknames, one of which is quite suitable for your pet!

What not to call a dog
But it’s better not to “reward” a dog with such nicknames:
- Ridiculous or obscene. At first it will seem very funny, but imagine how you will call your dog in crowded places. Or introduce your pet to friends. To avoid embarrassing situations, treat choosing a name for your dog as if you were choosing a name for your own child.
- Don't name your dog after a deceased pet.
- You should also not use names that are common in your country.
- Also, do not name the dog in consonance with the command (Fars, Accord, etc.). There will be difficulties during training.
Advice: do not use diminutive nicknames from your nickname. (Busya - Businka) The animal gets used to one name.

However, no one will stop the owner from giving his pet a cool nickname and pronouncing it seriously and respectfully.

Don’t you think that while we choose an elegant name for a dog, with a meaning, “not like everyone else,” the stars don’t really bother with the choice?
The influence of a name on character
Of course, the character of a pet primarily depends on the breed and upbringing, but the chosen nickname also plays an important role in this. The name has a significant impact on the character and temperament of the dog. A certain set of sounds that a pet hears most often, starting from puppyhood, can contribute to the formation of a strong character and willpower of the animal or, conversely, make it softer and kinder.
Therefore, before choosing one name, many Chihuahua owners study many options, learn the history of the breed and the meaning of the names they like. According to a scientifically unconfirmed theory, the chosen nickname contains encoded information and a set of genetic phonemes that determine the character, behavior and even fate of the dog.
