When I was looking for a pup, many breeders told me the desirable look is the shorter muzzle. I looked at a lot of photos of pups with short and with long noses and I like the short nose. However, it will be sad if they carry it to the extreme, smushed would be the end of the Chihuahua as we now know it. I hope it doesn't happen. Gloria P In a message dated 1/4/2009 10:25:42 A.M.

I haven't seen any with smushed faces. The show Chis tend to have very short muzzles compared to "pet quality" Chis, but not smushed like a Pug. I think the idea of having to shorter muzzles is to keep the apple headed look and to have a more prominent stop. Lots of "pet breeders" are going toward the more deer-like head with a longer muzzle.
