It depends, some dogs can be smaller and weigh less than the chihuahua, such as, the Maltese, and the Pomeranian and some other dog breeds. However the Teacup Chihuahua is the World's smallest dog breed, docen't usually weigh anymore than 3 lbs!
The Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog in the world, also it's the only "natural" toy breed.

This, however, is only the smallest breed in general. In other words, on average, the Chihuahua is the smallest breed of dog, but some individual dogs may be exceptionally small. The smallest dog ever recorded was actually a Yokshire Terrier (also called a Yorkie) named 'Big Boss.' It was approximatley 3 inches long and 1 1/5 inches tall at the shoulder.
Teacup Chihuahuas are the smallest breed!
