President’s Message

“     I  think that we all knew this year would be
         different, and it certainly has been. And our
dog world has had its share of disappointments,
happy times with our dogs, and challenges. The
array of event cancellations in July and August
was disappointing, but understandable, given the
way the Delta variant has taken hold down South.
                                                         A recent local example of this was the Gold Coast

have been cancelled or postponed, a number of
events and shows have been able to continue here in
Queensland and for that we are grateful.

What has become clear is that organisers at club
and Dogs Queensland office level need to be nimble
footed and be able to change arrangements and
judges in a matter of days before scheduled events.
We have become much more flexible in getting
events and shows happening, sometimes with less
than a week’s lead time. Club officials and the office
are to be commended for rising so effectively to
this challenge. It does show that we can be flexible
and that is not such a bad thing as we look to doing
things more effectively in our dog world.

Agricultural Shows
I have a been a keen supporter of dog shows
at Agricultural Shows for many years. I see it is
a continuing opportunity to interface with the
community at these Show Society events and
showcase what our dog showing is all about.
Of course, the premium Agricultural Show in
Queensland is the Ekka and, sadly, that did not
happen this year because of COVID. It would be great
if just the dog show could still happen, but time will
tell.

These shows are all about giving the public a great
experience and opening doors about what our dog
world is all about. The community love of dogs and
all our dog breeds and seeing the dog show is top of
the “to do” list with surveys of people attending our
Royal Show events.

                     CHIHUAHUA

 The Chihuahua is a wonderful breed that only wants to please its
 owner at all times ... ideally they only want to become an integral
       part of the family and are best when this is possible.

HISTORY
The stories and legends of the origin of the Chihuahua
are varied and many but like so many legends we
must read between the lines for the faint glimmers of
truth.
Chihuahuas are reputed to have originated in the
Valle de Allende in the State of Chihuahua in Mexico
from where they acquired their name. These little
dogs were the sacred dogs of the Mayan Indians and
the Toltecs and trace back to between the 7th and 9th
centuries A.D. It is written that the Aztecs followed the
Toltecs and that they continued to develop the breed.
When an Aztec Indian chief died all his belongings,
including his little dog, were burnt and the legend
goes that when the Indian crossed the nine deadly
rivers of the fearful underworld the little holy dog
with the symbolic cotton cord tied around his neck
would be waiting on the farthest bank for his master.
As soon as the little dog recognised him he would
swim across the turbulent waters and guide his
masters soul to safety.
Amongst the wealth of material passed down from
the early Indians, especially from Colima, are statues,
which are unmistakably Chihuahua’s. These statues
are known as the pottery dogs of Colima. It is said
that they could depict the hairless edible breed, the
large ancestor of the modern dwarf Chihuahua.
The Spanish were to conquer Mexico in the 16th
Century and it is reasonable to assume that
specimens of the smooth coat Chihuahua were
returned to Europe and some believe that these
were crossed with long coated spaniels, little Italian
spaniels or “comforter” as they were otherwise called
which in turn produced the little papillon of later
years. Many of the little dogs resembling Chihuahuas
have been depicted in oil paintings, particularly in
Italy and it is well known that a similar variety of the
smooth coat Chihuahua existed on the island of Malta.
It is interesting to note that by 1935 in the U.S.A the
breed was definitely showing the results of mixed
breeding, particularly with the terrier breeds. Mrs Ida
Garrett, one of the greatest pioneers of the breed in
the U.S.A travelled many miles looking for litters of
Chihuahuas and mentions that for years she interbred
the smooth coat variety with Yorkshire Terriers,
Pomeranians, Papillons and Poodles. She crossed
the offspring back to the Chihuahua and only after
about three generations it appeared that a Chihuahua
similar to the long coat (as we know it today) evolved
and was eventually registered in the U.S.A. It was not

                                                         Patella Luxation is something the breed can be known
                                                         for at times, but with careful breeding hopefully this is
                                                         not as prevalent as it has been in previous years.
                                                         The average lifespan is 12-18 years.
                                                         The Chihuahua is a wonderful breed that only wants
                                                         to please its’ owner at all times. You give them 100%
                                                         love and kindness and they will give back 110%.
                                                         Ideally, they only want to become an integral part of
                                                         the family and are best when this is possible.
                                                         They are strictly an indoor breed and if you are
                                                         not wanting this than I would suggest you choose
                                                         a different Toy Breed. They are not able to be left
                                                         outside for long periods of time.
