the dog was originally bred for food in Mexico, they were considered a delicacy becae they were small
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They're small mainly because humans wanted them small. With pets and livestock, the owners have a certain control over which animals that gets to breed. That way, it's possible to influence the shape, size and looks of a breed over the course of generations. Want small dogs - only let small dogs breed.

One or more mutations in this suppresses it, not producing as much of the hormone that tells you to grow; preventing Labrador-sized Chihuahuas. This, and that Chihuahuas were bred to be small. (Rottweilers also have this sequence, but other genetic factors likely make them large)
