Merry Chihuahua Christmas! Today, we feature Sassy the Chihuahua decked out in her Christmas garb. If you frequent Greensboro's Arts and Crafts festivals, likely, you have met Miss Sassy. She loves dressing up and traveling with her owners who sell wonderful vintage jewelry. We got tickled when we noticed that the fish necklace was as big as Sassy.
The chihuahua is a centuries-old breed originating in Mexico. It was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1904. The AKC prefers that chihuahuas, the world's smallest breed, weigh between 2-4 pounds and Sassy is indeed within that range. If you attend a local craft show and see Sassy, please stop for a visit. Her owners are very nice and she loves the attention! Who knows, next time we feature her on GDP, she may be dressed up as a lepechaun, an Easter bunny, Uncle Sam...........
We are delighted to share her with the pet loving world on Camera Critters!!!
I've seen many of these canines in México, but fewer in the states. Never, however, have I seen any bundled up as this one is. Cute little bugger!

There are those nogoodniks who would argue that a Chihuahua is not a real dog. I argue they certainly are a real dog. Just a teeny bitty real dog.
Very cute shot. Poor thing does look a bit chilled. Either that or he's sweating to death in all that wrapping! Hard to tell.

Love her Christmas outfit! And her owner's fishbone pendant! I went through two similar ones, but nowhere near as big as this one!

Great picture. It made me smile as I have been thinking a lot about my mom's 17 year old Chihuahua who is sick right now.
