Simply put, Chihuahuas are little dogs. They are used as pets, though I don't think they are "used" at all.
Answer::They are kept as pets,However they are also used as food,Chihuahua meat (like most all dog meat) is lean and very Low-fat and it combines great with yellow onions, potatos, carrots, celery,green peppers,and sweet peas slow cooked in a stew, its basically our western(US) version of the Korean dish poshingtan.Chihuahua meat is also very good when its cooked rare and carmalized with green onions, shreaded carrot and cabbage with a little minced garlic,ginger and sesame and then served over rice...

∙ 12y agoThis is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. Native to Mexico, where it received it's name from the Mexican State of Chihuahua. It was only brought to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. What breeds were used to make up the Chihuahua are unclear, but some think it originated from the Fennec Fox. The dogs were sacred to Pre-Columbian Indian nations and were also popular pets to the upper class. The dogs are prized for their size and are most valued to some fanciers when they weigh under 2-1/4 pounds (1.3 kg.).

∙ 12y agoOur Chihuahua was bred to keep my wife and me in line. She lets us know when its time to get up, when we all need to eat, what time we need to take a long walk so she can do her thing!, and last but not least, when it's time to go to bed. Sometimes when we go for one of our walks, she thinks that bicycles and Golf carts are public enemies #1. and barks at them to keep us out of harms way. She loves to go for a ride in our car, and in the winter she lays between us to keep us warm. But one thing we don't do is spoil her.

Chi's were bred to be small and boxer's were bred to be bigger. All dogs were bred for specific reasons. Chi's weren't bred to be guard dogs, or hunting dogs...they were bred as companion dogs...which means they were bred to sit on ones lap and be loved.
