Chihuahuas as we know them are the product of centuries of selective
breeding. Luckily part of the breeding process was to get them to a
managable size, apparently. They used to be much larger. The possibility
of a dog as vicious as some Chihuahuas can be, but weighing eighty
pounds or so is a pretty scary one, ain't it?
