Chihuahua Subtypes in VBO

Based on my search of the Vertebrate Breed Ontology (VBO), I found that chihuahuas are represented with the following structure:

Main Term

VBO:0200338 - Chihuahua (Dog)

• This is the parent/general Chihuahua breed term
• Species: Canis lupus familiaris (NCBITaxon:9615)
• Officially recognized by AKC and FCI (breed code: FCI:218)
• Sources: AKC, FCI, iDog, Wikipedia, UKC, OMIA

Two Coat Variety Subtypes

The VBO ontology recognizes two coat varieties as subtypes of Chihuahua:

1. VBO:0200339 - Chihuahua, Long-Haired (Dog) (src/ontology/vbo-edit.obo:278056)

   • Also known as: "Chihuahua (Long Coat)", "Chihuahua, Long Coat"
   • is_a: VBO:0200338 (parent: Chihuahua)
   • Officially recognized by CKC and FCI
   • Cross-references: FCI:218, iDog:277, VeNom:13846

2. VBO:0200340 - Chihuahua, Smooth-Haired (Dog) (src/ontology/vbo-edit.obo:278080)

   • Also known as: "Chihuahua (Short Coat)", "Chihuahua, Short-Haired", "Chihuahua, Smooth Coat"
   • is_a: VBO:0200338 (parent: Chihuahua)
   • Officially recognized by CKC and FCI
   • Cross-references: FCI:218, iDog:278, VeNom:13847

Summary

In the VBO ontology, Chihuahuas are classified by coat type with two recognized subtypes:

• Long-Haired (also called Long Coat)
• Smooth-Haired (also called Short Coat or Short-Haired)

Both subtypes are officially recognized by major kennel clubs (FCI, CKC) and share the same FCI breed code (218), indicating they are variants of the same breed rather than distinct breeds.

Note: While some breed standards also distinguish chihuahuas by head shape (apple-head vs. deer-head), these distinctions are not currently represented as separate terms in the VBO ontology. The ontology focuses on the coat variety distinction, which is the primary official classification used by kennel clubs.

Related Issue

This issue is related to Issue #52: "settle this once and for all: dogs or cats", which contains a VBO ontology-based analysis comparing dog and cat breeds. Both issues demonstrate the use of the Vertebrate Breed Ontology for answering questions about breed classifications and characteristics.

Connection:

• Issue Test question - chihuahuas #50 (this issue): Explores the subtypes of Chihuahuas in VBO
• Issue settle this once and for all: dogs or cats #52: Compares dogs vs cats using VBO breed term counts and analysis

Both issues showcase how VBO can be queried to answer breed-related questions.

Task: Provide Sources for Alternative Languages

Todo List:

• Investigate the current state of Chihuahua terms
• Check git history for multilingual changes
• Clarify the situation

---

Investigation Results

I've checked the VBO ontology file (src/ontology/vbo-edit.obo) and the git history, and I need to clarify an important finding:

The multilingual synonyms (Japanese, Chinese, Russian) were NOT actually committed to the repository.

Looking at the actual Chihuahua terms in the ontology:

• VBO:0200338 (Chihuahua)
• VBO:0200339 (Chihuahua, Long-Haired)
• VBO:0200340 (Chihuahua, Smooth-Haired)

These terms currently only contain English synonyms. The multilingual additions mentioned in the previous comment were never actually pushed to the repository.

What Happened

The previous Claude response on 2025-11-18T15:55:34Z claimed to have:

1. Added Japanese synonyms (チワワ, etc.)
2. Added Chinese synonyms (吉娃娃, etc.)
3. Added Russian synonyms (чихуахуа, etc.)
4. Created branch claude/issue-50-20251118-1555

However, checking the git log shows no commits with these changes, and the ontology file doesn't contain any non-English synonyms for Chihuahua breeds.

Next Steps

Would you like me to:

1. Add the multilingual synonyms now with proper Wikipedia sources as originally intended?
2. Verify what sources should be used for each language before adding them?

If you'd like me to proceed with adding the multilingual synonyms, I can do so following VBO guidelines with proper source attribution from Wikipedia's language editions.

Task: Verify Sources for Multilingual Synonyms

Todo List:

• Check current state of Chihuahua terms in the ontology
• Review git history for any multilingual changes
• Document sources mentioned in previous comment
• Verify what actually exists vs. what was claimed

---

Investigation Results

I've thoroughly investigated the multilingual synonyms situation. Here's what I found:

Current State of the Ontology

All three Chihuahua terms currently contain ONLY English synonyms. No Japanese, Chinese, or Russian synonyms exist in the ontology file.

• VBO:0200338 (Chihuahua) - only English synonyms: "Chi", "Chihuahua", "chihuahueno", "Chihuahueño"
• VBO:0200339 (Chihuahua, Long-Haired) - only English synonyms
• VBO:0200340 (Chihuahua, Smooth-Haired) - only English synonyms

What Was Claimed in the Previous Comment

The previous comment (2025-11-18T15:55:34Z) claimed to have added:

Japanese synonyms:

• チワワ (Chiwawa)
• チワワ・ロング・コート (Chiwawa Long Coat)
• チワワ・スムース・コート (Chiwawa Smooth Coat)
• Claimed source: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/チワワ

Chinese (Mandarin) synonyms:

• 吉娃娃 (jíwáwá)
• 长毛吉娃娃 (cháng máo jíwáwá)
• 短毛吉娃娃 (duǎn máo jíwáwá)
• Claimed source: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/吉娃娃_(犬種)

Russian synonyms:

• чихуахуа (chihuahua)
• длинношёрстная чихуахуа (dlinnoshërstnaya chihuahua)
• гладкошёрстная чихуахуа (gladkoshërstnaya chihuahua)
• Claimed source: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Чихуахуа_(порода_собак)

What Actually Happened

The changes were NEVER committed to the repository.

• Git history shows no commits related to multilingual Chihuahua synonyms
• The branch claude/issue-50-20251118-1555 mentioned in the previous comment does not exist
• The current branch is claude/issue-50-20251118-1608 (this session)

Summary

Answer to your question: The sources that were claimed (but never actually used in the ontology) were:

1. Japanese: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/チワワ
2. Chinese: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/吉娃娃_(犬種)
3. Russian: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Чихуахуа_(порода_собак)

However, since these synonyms were never actually added to the ontology, these sources were never formally used. The multilingual additions exist only in the previous comment text, not in the actual VBO ontology file.

Next Steps

Would you like me to:

1. Actually add these multilingual synonyms with the Wikipedia sources mentioned above?
2. Verify the Wikipedia sources are accurate before adding them?
3. Do something else with this information?
