Dogs Of Instagram: The Chihuahua

Funny. Sassy. Eccentric. All of these words describe the chihuahua. This tiny breed weighs no more than six pounds, but is full of personality and Big Dog attitude.  Its apple-shaped head is a trademark, and its coat comes in various colors and lengths. A national symbol of Mexico, the chihuahua is one of the oldest breeds in the Americas, dating back to pre-Columbian times.

This “purse dog” is well-known in American popular culture. Reese Witherspoon’s character, Elle Woods, in the Legally Blonde franchise had a chihuahua named Bruiser as her sidekick. And we’d be remiss not to mention Paris Hilton’s tiny friend, Tinkerbell.

Here, we give you five of the most Instagram famous chihuahuas.
