Chocolate and tan chihuahuas is one of our favourite combinations. What is a chocolate chihuahua? A chocolate colour is actually a deluded version of black. It comes from a recessive gene which is relatively common amongst Chihuahuas however what is less common is the chocolate and tan combination. How did all the chihuahua colours come about? As you probably know the Chihuahua originate from Mexico, but he also has links to South Central in North America. This might go somewhere to explain why there are many combinations and colour markings. Chihuahua markings Here are four examples; Tan markings – don’t always come with a solid coat. For example a black and white chihuahua could have some tan markings. Black mask, white markings – you won’t see these markings often but when there is a black marking around the nose and mouth and a white chest. Again, there is no set colour for this combination. Kiss marks – these are small flashes of colour on the dogs eyebrows. These give the dog an expressive face and I often found in the chocolate and tan combination for the brown and white combination. Blue Chihuahuas – I really a shade of black. But the colouring of their eyes nose, lips and paw pads are blue. One of the most exciting things about reading Chihuahuas is you never know what colour combinations you are going to get.
