Which dog breed is right for you?
The Chihuahua is the world's smallest dog breed, originating from the Mexican state of Chihuahua where ancestors of the breed were kept by the ancient Toltec civilization. Standing just 5–8 inches tall and weighing a mere 2–6 pounds, these tiny dogs come in smooth-coat and long-coat varieties with virtually every color and pattern combination imaginable. Despite their diminutive size, Chihuahuas carry themselves with a bold, terrier-like confidence that belies their fragile frame.
Chihuahuas are fiercely devoted to one person — often forming an almost obsessive bond with their chosen human. They are alert, spirited, and surprisingly courageous, frequently standing up to dogs many times their size without hesitation. While they can be wonderful companions for older children who handle them gently, their small size and tendency toward snappiness make them a poor match for households with toddlers.

The Irish Setter — originally known as the Red Setter — was developed in 18th-century Ireland as a tireless bird dog capable of covering vast tracts of countryside in search of game. Standing 25–27 inches tall and weighing 60–70 pounds, this breathtakingly beautiful breed wears a rich, mahogany-red coat of moderate length with silky feathering on the ears, chest, legs, and tail. Their athletic build, flowing red coat, and joyful expression have made them one of the most glamorous breeds in the show ring and the field alike.
Irish Setters are exuberant, fun-loving dogs with an irrepressible zest for life that makes them perpetual puppies at heart. They adore people — every person they meet is greeted with enthusiastic tail-wagging and sometimes an overzealous full-body lean. Their sweet, gentle nature makes them wonderful family dogs, especially for active households with older children who can match their energy level.
