There are a few different types of Chihuahua that are recognised as standard:
- Shorthaired - Has a short smooth coat, and typically is said to shed very little.
- Longhaired -The long coat that can be straight or curly. The ears of this type have a unique fringe and the tail is long and furry. For these types of Chihuahua, shedding is more common and because of the long hair, thus the dog would need to be groomed more often than a shorthaired.
- Applehead - Has a short nose and a rounded head, often broader than the jaw, similar to that of an apple.
- Deerhead - Not seen as a standard due to the sloping forehead. Deerheads have longer noses than Appleheads.
Irresponsible Chihuahua 'breeders' often use terms like 'Teacup', 'Pocket-size', 'Toy' etc. to describe puppies, often bred to achieve a tiny size and not for health. These terms are not recognized by the breed standards and are marketing gimmicks to inflate the value of puppies.
