It’s interesting that I have so many people who want an extremely small Chihuahua and if the Chihuahua is 6 or 7 pounds they think it’s too big.
And I wanted to talk about that for a couple minutes.
The first thing is what is considered the breed standard?
Well, you go to the various kennel clubs breed standards to find out.
With Chihuahuas you begin with the Chihuahua Club of America. And they state that any Chihuahua over 6 pounds disqualifies it from competition in dog shows. They do not state a lowest weight requirement.
Next is the American Kennel Club. AKC states that they get their breed standards from the parent club for Chihuahuas, which is the Chihuahua Club of America, which again states up to 6 pounds.
The Continental Kennel Club says the Chihuahua should weigh between 1 and 7 pounds. Now, I honestly have never seen a Chihuahua under 2 pounds. And I find it odd for the CKC to put a bottom weight limit.
The United Kennel Club states an “ideal weight” of 3 to 6 ½ pounds, though “smaller dogs are acceptable. The UKC also says that over 6 ½ or under 1 pound is considered an eliminating fault.
Going internationally, first up our neighbors to the north, the Canadian Kennel Club. In Canada, the Chihuahua may weigh from 1 to 6 pounds, but “dogs weighing 2-4 are preferred.
In the UK, The Kennel Club has a Chihuahua weight limit of 6 pounds (2.7kgs) with 4-6 pounds preferred (1.8 - 2.7 kgs)
And finally, let’s go to the source country of the Chihuahua, Mexico. According to the Federacion Canofila Mexicana which states Chihuahuas should weight between 1 to 3 kgs with the ideal weight: between 1.5 and 2.5 kg. Subjects weighing less than 1 kg and more than 3 kg shall be disqualified.
