what kind of animal is a chihuahua?

Believe it or not, they really are dogs. Annoying, frail, yippy, nippy, ankle-biting, self-important, oversexed, moronic dogs that should be punted through the nearest goalpost - but dogs nonetheless.

Are there people that really don't know this?

Chihuahuaism is a genetic disease inflicting mexican americans. It causes people to not be able to grow over their birth size and causes soem genetic mutations that make them appear dog or rat like.

Chihuahuaism has been recently exploited by the Taco Bell brand of fast-food restaurants owned by the Pepsico Corporation, in which they poke fun at a Chihuahuan male who acts as their mascot.

Rich young society has also been critisized for their recent trend of carrying chihuahua-inflicted people around in purses or dog carriers as a status symbol.

Chihuahuas are creatures that science can not identify. Most think they are dogs, but alas, REAL dogs do not walk around puddles. They walk through them. Real dogs also do not shiver uncontrollably when outside answering nature's call. Cats even chase those hideous pathetic critters!

lol Chetco. Wow for a second there I thought this world had gone nuts (wait it has) but anyway. Chihuhuas are lovable dogs who think their babies...I guess for all those trash talkers they just don't baby their dogs. But if you're into that then get a Chihuahua.

I think you already know it's a dog, if you're asking the dog forum! But congrats on spelling it correctly! That's more than I can say for people that actually own the breed!
