No, most Chihuahuas are not brachycephalic. Brachycephalic means 'short head' and is seen notably on bulldogs or pugs. Chihuahuas have an average maxilla, called mesaticephalic. Other dogs have a very long head, called dolichocephalic, such as an afghan or greyhound.

That being said, I have seen a Chihuahua mix that was brachycephalic. It made him appear even more bug-eyed than usual.
