Even though I got my two from different breeders, they kinda look the same, except the female is taller and a bit longer. The males legs are a bit shorter and the female looks a bit more leggy, they both have long noses. They seem to like to have their noses/muzzles stroked..funny thing LOL. I love their long noses

They must be the cobbly ones. I prefer the dainty looking ones. I like the longer nose too. I do not like them to look like some kind of furry insect! LOL!But really the great thing about chis is their variety. They come in so many shapes, sizes, colors, coats.. I am always amazed on how different they all are. - em J > > > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of marsha > Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 11:20 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: my latest chi questions...lol > > > > Actually that "lean" look is "out" in the chi world. Personally I prefer the leaner ones, but the ones that are winning the shows and setting the standards now are usually more on the cobbly side....the short, fat looking ones, lol. I have some of each and still prefer those "lanky" looking ones, lol. Then again I also prefer the ones with some nose and not a flat face like the new standards are evolving to. > > > > Marsha > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Michelle > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 7:16 AM > > Subject: [Chihuahuas] Re: my latest chi questions...lol > > > > Hi Tara!
