Ontology Hierarchy

Both subtypes are classified as:

• is_a: VBO:0400000 (Vertebrate breed)
• is_a: NCBITaxon:9615 (Canis lupus familiaris) - the species

Key Insight

The main distinction between Chihuahua subtypes in VBO is coat type:

• Long-haired variant (also called Long Coat)
• Smooth-haired variant (also called Short Coat or Smooth Coat)

Both subtypes share the same FCI breed number (218) but are recognized as distinct varieties by major kennel clubs and are represented as separate terms in VBO with their own IDs and cross-references to multiple breed databases.
