The Chihuahua Rainbow
If all you’ve ever seen is the widely popular fawn-colored, smooth Chihuahua, you might be surprised to learn that this breed can come in any color or combination of colors. A Chihuahua can be solid (all one color), marked (white areas on a colored background) or splashed (irregularly patched color on white or white on color). Among the colors used to describe Chihuahuas are peach, lemon, silver-sand, mole, sable, chocolate, blue, red, tan and fawn.
One early breeder, Clara Dobbs, said she had seen every color in the breed except green and purple. Chihuahuas can come with spots or a two-tone look, such as white and gold, or chocolate and white. Some breeders choose to breed for a certain color or pattern, but don’t be suckered into paying more for a “rare” color.
