Deer Head Chihuahua Vs Applehead

There are two main types of Chihuahuas: the deer head Chihuahua and the apple head Chihuahua. Which one do you have? It’s probably the applehead, which is easier to recognize. These two breeds share a lot of similarities, but they also have some important differences that make them separate breeds. Let’s take a look at some of the most prominent ones in this article! We hope it helps you decide what kind of dog you want to get!

Standard Size

• Standard size. The most popular size of Chihuahua, standard-sized dogs are 5-7 pounds and 7-9 inches long in body length. They also have a short muzzle and short legs.
• It’s estimated that standard Chihuahuas can live up to 15 years or longer if they’re properly cared for, but they may reach their full lifespan of 20 years or more if you get them from a reputable breeder who focuses on breeding healthy dogs with good temperaments.

Head Shape

Applehead Chihuahuas have a rounder head and forehead, with a more domed skull.

Deer Head Chihuahuas look flatter, with a more flat skull.

Temperament

Appleheads are known for their outgoing, friendly temperament, while deer heads are more independent and reserved. However, both breeds have a lot in common when it comes to their personality. Both the applehead and deer head chihuahua can be loving, loyal and intelligent dogs who will serve you well as a companion or family pet. They are also equally energetic; however they tend to show that energy differently depending on whether they are an applehead or a deer head chihuahua.

Appleheads tend to be more social than deer heads and like spending time with people but they may not always want lots of attention from strangers. This is due largely because they were bred to guard humans so they’re protective of their owners’ property and privacy even though many appleheads enjoy the company of other dogs or cats in general (depending on how well-socialized).

Skull

Skull is the area between the ears and the muzzle. It is a part of your chihuahua’s head that is visible, meaning it will be covered with hair or fur on most dogs. There are some breeds that have their skulls exposed, but those are rare and may not be suitable for everyone.

A skull is an important part of a dog’s body because it protects their brain from injuries. If a skull was not present, then any injury could directly affect your dog’s mind and cause severe damage or even death!

Chihuahuas come in many different shapes, sizes, colors and patterns; however one thing they all have in common are two small ears sitting atop their heads pointing forward toward where they face when walking around together with other humans like yourself or another human family member who cares about taking care of them properly every day (make sure to brush out any dirt clumps).

Ears

One of the main differences between a deer head chihuahua and an applehead chihuahua is the length of their ears. Applehead Chihuahuas have shorter ears, while deer head Chihuahuas have longer ears. The difference in ear size can make it easier to tell these two types apart because this is one of the most noticeable features on any dog breed.

Another thing you should look at when determining whether your pup falls into one category or another is their face shape: Deer heads typically have longer faces than apples do, but both dogs still fall on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to this characteristic!

Muzzle

The muzzle is the skull’s extension. It begins at the tip of your nose and extends to where your upper jaw meets your lower jaw. The length of the muzzle should be equal to or longer than the length of your skull. If it is shorter, then you have applehead conformation; if it is longer, then you have deer head conformation.

Color/Coat Markings

Applehead Chihuahuas have a short coat, which means they don’t shed much hair.

As you can see, there are a lot of differences between an Applehead Chihuahua and a Deer Head Chihuahua. While the majority of people will tell you that breed standards don’t matter when it comes to dogs, there are still many reasons why chihuahua lovers might prefer one type over the other. We hope this guide has helped you understand what makes each type unique so that you can find your perfect chihuahua!
