Teacup Chihuahua? Smaller isnt always better! Truth behind the hype.

To follow up. Applehead & Deerhead is a normal contour of a chi skull... Maybe they used it in a laymans term "Applehead" rather than "ROUNDED HEAD" which is the precise term.=)

the nearest association of "applehead" nga makita sa standards is "...A well rounded "apple dome" skull...". later on, the term progressed into "applehead". and applehead indeed is THE STANDARDS.

Deerhead? thats another quality of a chihuahua head... dili pasabot nga deerhead kay dili na pure ang dog, it may still be... BUT the standards itself looks for a WELL ROUNDED APPLE-DOME SKULL... thats why applehead is PREFERRED.

What most people don't know is that common terms like "teacup", "toy", "deerhead", or "applehead" are not defined as a chihuahua breed by any of the major canine organizations such as the AKC, CKC, or the UKC.

pasabot ani nga sentence kay dili separate nga breed ang "applehead chihuahua" sa "deerhead chihuahua" sa "teacup chihuahua"... mao na iya pasabot nga these terms (teacup, applehead, deerhead etc) are not defined as chihuahua breeds.

MACULA? nobody mentioned about macula... maybe you meant MOLERA.

and to touch on MOLERA (in case mao jud ni imo pasabot), as per the AKC Breed Standard regarding the HEAD standards of a chhuahua, it says - "A well rounded "apple dome" skull, with or without molera."... In the past, this molera has been accepted as a mark of purity for this dog breed, however, as you can read from the current standards itself, MOLERA has been considered as not the end all and be all of determining "pureness" of this breed. even without the obvious presence of MOLERA, a dog can still be PURE.

ang MOLERA man gud, mu-hardened man sad kadugayan.. some of my chis, i cant fel na ila molera, but that does not mean theyre not pure anymore. just like sa tawo, diba kato baby pa ka, obvious kaayo ang "bumbunan" nimo? pero karon, can you still find that soft spot on top of your head? diba wala na? dili pod pasabot ana, dili naka pure na tawo diba? jokes hehe

incidentally, ako gi-google imu MACULA (kay wala pod ko kasabot unsa ng MACULA).. mao ni ako nakuha from wiki ay:

The macula or macula lutea (from Latin macula, "spot" + lutea, "yellow") is an oval-shaped highly pigmented yellow spot near the center of the retina of the human eye.

so obviously, MOLERA jud diay imu pasabot, dili MACULA.

Thanks for the correction. MOLERA is what I mean.

Yes, I know it is another quality shape of skull sa chihuahua. I put this symbol "&" between applehead & deerhead. It means another kind. Rather putting an "or" which the same thing.
