There are variants of the Chihuahua breed, sub-types, that some kennel associations do not care to formally recognize. But if you look for such variants, you'll find there are breeders that sell them and dog rescues that let capable pet owners adopt them. Two such variations include the Apple Head Chihuahua and the Deer Chihuahua.
The variants, or at least the names for them, are already acknowledged by pet breeders; so if there are differences within this breed that kennel associations, for their own reasons, do not acknowledge, it's not a problem for the rest of us. Let this short article show you how you can distinguish a Deer Head Chihuahua from other Chihuahua variants, so you can be better informed should you want to buy a pup of that breed, or adopt one.
Deer Chihuahua distinguishing traits - you'll notice they're bigger than other Chihuahuas
The Deer Chihuahua is said to be bigger than any other variants of this breed. An average height shows that - the male Deer Chihuahua can reach twelve inches (the usual range for Chihuahuas is about five inches), while the female can grow to at least ten inches. This variant is also heavier, owing to its size - 20 pounds; they can live as long as twenty years with enough care. As with all Chihuahuas, this one has its own share of health problems, so the need to be a responsible pet owner needs to be emphasized when adopting or buying a Deer Chihuahua.
Deer Chihuahua head and snout - easy to spot features
The Deer Chihuahua has what can be called a "clean" head; it also has a distinctively long muzzle, often longer than other types of Chihuahuas. There are Deer Chihuahuas with a snout looking like that of a terrier's. There are also Deer Chihuahuas that have a "bobble head" look.
Deer Chihuahuas and the alleged jealous streak all Chihuahuas share
What you may have heard about Chihuahuas, that they are loyal to the point of possessiveness, is actually true - true in part because most small breeds are fragile and because most people treat Chihuahuas expecting to be snapped at. A Deer Chihuahua is nothing like that, nothing like that at all; they are social, and they can share their owners lap with other pets, and they're good around kids. Don't believe every stereotype you hear about a general Chihuahua behavior that is supposedly true among all types.
Deer Chihuahua - yours maybe the closest type to the original
If you have a deer Chihuahua, and other pet owners say what you have is a cross-breed and far from the real bloodlines, nothing could be further from the hidden truth. Deer Chihuahuas are actually closer to the original bloodline compared to the rest, some of which have been bred small runt with small runt just to produce show dogs.
The Deer Chihuahua is actually great with kids
There's always been a Chihuahua stereotype. Owners and prospective owners of this breed are often advised against having a Chihuahua in an environment where there are little children and other pets. The highly irritable, easy to snap, aggressive, possessive Chihuahua is often the result, they say, of this breed's inherent dislike of children, and other pets not of the same breed and species. But deer Chihuahuas are not like that, they're okay with children and other pets. Don't let the stereotype fool you.
