The Chihuahueno (also known as Chihuahua out of Mexico), named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua, place where it was discovered and domesticated from the wild, unlike the belief that exists in some countries that the dog gave the name to the state since the word “Chihuahua” means "arid and sandy place" in rarámuri, language of the people Tarahumara. Although it is known as Chihuahua, the official name of the race is Chihuahueno; Chihuahua is the name adopted in United States for the race.
It is believed to be descendants of a race Isla Hispaniola, similar but slightly larger, associated with royalty in the Toltec civilization known as Techichi (found remains of small dogs in ancient tombs in Mexico).
