Applehead Chihuahua

Though the name is cute and catchy, the Applehead Chihuahua is actually just simply a "Chihuahua".

Applehead Chihuahua is a fairly common layman's term used to describe an adorable Chihuahua with an 'apple-shaped' head. The term "Applehead" is most likely derived from the description, in the American Kennel Club (AKC) standard for the shape of the preferred head, being "A well rounded "apple dome" skull, with or without molera". As there are only two recognized types of Chihuahua, if you want to determine what type of Chihuahua you actually have, you will have to look at its coat. It is actually either a Long-haired Chihuahua or a Short-haired Chihuahua.

Chihuahuas are courageous and lively. They tend to become very attached to their owners, and they make good guard dogs. Their strong will makes patience during training crucial, but they are intelligent and can learn a variety of tricks. When selecting an Applehead Chihuahua, it is important to check for eye problems and respiratory difficulties.
