funny + charming
funky too

Chihuahuas are the 11th most populare dog breed in the U.S. I’m including them on my list because last year they were number 10 so they get an honorable mention. Enjoy!

Teacup Chihuahua porcelain Christmas ornament from Studio Gumbo. It comes with a silky red string. Artwork by Rebecca Stringer Korpita. I love the colors and the dog’s cheeky expression!
In my opinion, Carry-Ons: Traveling Chihuahuas by Sharon Montrose is one of the best dog books I’ve ever seen. I just love the design, the fonts, the layout, the photos…well, you get the idea. Any Chihuahua owner would be thrilled to recieve this gem of a book for the holidays.

My Chihuahua Mom T-shirts come in several colors and lots of styles and sizes, now including plus sizes. (These shirts have been a big hit. If you’d like one in your breed email me.)

I’ve been a big fan of Kelly Pound’s work since my blog was new. She has dozens of fun dog breed art works at her Pound Design Store including this groovy Chihuahua Tiki Bar poster.
She also has lots of fun sock monkey stuff for your post-modern brother who’s inpossible to shop for.

This collage called “The Goddess’s Puppy” envisions a divine Chirhuahua looking out over the cliffs of Mt. Olympus. A set of these greeting cards from my DreamDogsArt Store would make a perfect gift for Chihuahua fans. Click here to see the image on mugs, t-shirts, kids apparel, and baby clothes.
Beautifully simple signed Chihuahua print from Mod-Dog. Order it framed or unframed. Also available as note cards.
