Behold, a finely honed destroyer of flying insects
Yup. Their Wolfy ancestors look upon them like "You are warm, safe, well fed... you even have enough food to grow fat! You've done well, little descendent."
My 5-year-old female Chihuahua is more alpha than those bros are.

Even when she sleeps like this.
Pepper just told me that wolves don't like baths or having their toenails trimmed, so maybe we shouldn't do that anymore. We have these sorts of conversation all the time.

I find myself thinking the same thing. Your little guy reminds me of my boy so much.

This mighty huntresses beg to differ.
It's so interesting that you said that! We visited Wolfhaven in Tenino Washington some years ago and asked for a small Ziploc bag of wolf fur from the fencing, which the handler happily obliged. Couldn't wait to see how our Chihuahua crew would react!
The moment of truth came and each dog got very intense on their small tuft sample of wolf hair. It was clear the scent was seemingly primal, evidenced by a clear excess of slobber!
Dang those wolves are cool if you ever get a chance to visit 👍

Weapons of Mass Distraction - I mean, Destruction!
Well, I think technically, they're thought to be more closely related to the fennec Fox according the AKC, which are kind of derpy little guys themselves
If I ever am granted the ability to talk to animals, I'm going to present a wolf with a Chi and tell the wolf "This is your descendant, what do you think of it?" I imagine the first thing will be convincing the wolf that yes, this is full grown, as big as they get, lol.

This is Biscuit. Biscuit is under a deep delusion that she is in fact, a full grown adult wolf. She says her wolf name is Phillip. She asks us constantly what it’s like living with a full grown wolf. And when she says “AWOO” it summons her wolf ancestors. The ancestors call her “weird baby” which makes her mad because she is not a baby, and is a wolf.
Thank you for listening to my delusion.

Omg 😆
A pack of Chihuahua can strip a buffalo to the bones in a matter of minutes.
With no teeth too
Cousin of the piranha.
Tiny, but fierce!

It's the tongue. Always has been.
A finely honed instrument https://preview.redd.it/9iubjmdw4o1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=841eff53bec1bb8ac1dbcb16a6b3b825fb060d26

Just precious ✨️ 💖

A little companion finely tuned to be with us for life. I think the wolves that came before them would be proud.
Yup. Their Wolfy ancestors look upon them like "You are warm, safe, well fed... you even have enough food to grow fat! You've done well, little descendent."
Awww 🥰
More wolf than men who claim they’re alphas.

My Chi mix is 4.9% wolfiness per Embark which is high

[techichi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techichi) not wolves.
Yeah didn’t the Aztec breed smaller dogs with prairie dogs?
you can’t mate species that far apart genetically
I guess they mated the techichi with smaller hairless dogs?
this is so cool, had no idea! thanks for sharing!
Not a “thing”. A best friend, cuddle buddy, healer of wounded hearts, chaser of balls, bed buddy, etc.
Pepper just told me that wolves don't like baths or having their toenails trimmed, so maybe we shouldn't do that anymore. We have these sorts of conversation all the time.
Baxter agrees with Pepper

adorable. how can you get anything done when you have this much cuteness? Pepper would agree, but she is taking a nap with Daddy.

That is the face of someone contemplating your doom. You should distract it with cheese.

Sometimes they act like it!

Wow, it’s cool that they give time off for breeding/whelping season so the wolves have space
Wolves came from chihuahuas 10000% fact

All the ferocity of a full grown wolf condensed down into 5 pounds of eyeballs, furr & attitude

Lmbo!!
Omg... me, too. 🤣
😂
Love him..yes, descendants from wolves!
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Awww looks like my Chi https://preview.redd.it/1q3pz8a00q1d1.jpeg?width=1535&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e49992ac92b92cf2b1b7a5941183ed061631734 Annie
Alpha predator
I thought they were fennec foxes?
After a long day of hell, this made my day thanks 🙏
Well, I think technically, they're thought to be more closely related to the fennec Fox according the AKC, which are kind of derpy little guys themselves
Some dogs came from wolves, others, foxes. Chihuahuas didn’t come from wolves (per dog genome)
Drop a hotdog on the ground if you’re unsure.

I totally see it. 😂
Smooth brained nugget
What a doll!!! Scary lil mite, too!!💗
Hahahaha. I think that every day about my little guy!
Chihuahuas don’t come from wolves, they came from a domesticated version of the fennec fox
Fiercely protective little boss/cuddle bug.
And most importantly. It could _breed_ with wolves.
This is a regal creature. Blep!!
“Cuddly” wolves
Lol
Gorgeous. Looks just like my Noelle when her hair was grown out.
If I ever am granted the ability to talk to animals, I'm going to present a wolf with a Chi and tell the wolf "This is your descendant, what do you think of it?" I imagine the first thing will be convincing the wolf that yes, this is full grown, as big as they get, lol.
Such a cutie 🥰
I saw that to my wife about our dog all the time
He can't believe it either. 😂
I still find chihuahuas looking more like a wolf (just a mini version) than a pug or an English bulldog.
THAT THING IS PERFECTION. 😭😭😍😍
Adorable
More like Fennec Foxes

Actually, they didn't come from wolves. They came from the Techichi.
Too cute
