Chihuahuas were not historically used for herding cattle. They are believed to have originated from the Techichi, a small dog kept by ancient civilizations in Mexico, primarily for companionship and religious purposes. While some breeds, like the Australian Shepherd or Border Collie, are known for herding, Chihuahuas are primarily companion animals. Their small size and temperament make them unsuitable for herding large livestock.
