Chihuahuas are the only dogs born with an incomplete skull. This soft spot on the top of the head behaves exactly like a human baby’s fontanelle. For many Chihuahuas, the parietal and frontal bones fuse as they grow, but some keep this soft spot throughout their entire life.

They have the largest brain-to-body mass of any domestic dog breed. Their brains are physically small, but they take up a massive percentage of their overall tiny skull cavity.

These little dogs frequently outlive larger breeds, routinely reaching ages of 12 and 20 years old when properly cared for.

Intense energy and fierce devotion to a single owner, often makes them highly protective watchdogs despite their tiny size. They have a very high pitch bark.

Sensitive to cold due to their origins and small body mass, Chihuahuas shiver constantly when cold. They seek out warm spots, often burrowing under blankets or owner’s laps to trap heat.

They are wonderful companions and deserve to be pampered as the tiny treasures that they are.

Pixie, the Chihuahua dog skull replica, is small; however, she has gigantic goals. Her goals are to end animal cruelty, no need for dog pounds, no in-breeding. Stop all diseases, and every dog in the world has a fantastic dog owner. Another wish of hers is to have dogs live as long as their owners.

Peek-a-boo, the Pekingese dog skull replica, supports all of Pixie’s goals one hundred percent. She collects coins and sends all of them to her to help meet her goals.

Ollie, the Oligocene dog skull replica, openly agrees as well. He gives all of his profits from the oil wells he owns.

Atlas, the domestic dog skull replica, is wholeheartedly in acceptance of Pixie’s goals. He ambushes all the bad guys and sends their money to Pixie.
