Here's why:
* Smooth Coat Chihuahuas: They have a short, smooth coat that doesn't require much grooming. They shed minimally, usually only shedding a small amount of hair during seasonal changes.
* Long Coat Chihuahuas: They have a longer, more luxurious coat that requires more frequent brushing to prevent mats and tangles. They shed more than their smooth coat counterparts, particularly during shedding seasons.
While both types of Chihuahuas are considered to be relatively low-shedding breeds, the Smooth Coat Chihuahua is definitely the less shedding option.
