Pop Art Daigoro

Welcome to
The Empire
of the Chihuahua

Under the benevolent dictatorship of Emperor Daigoro, the Empire of the Chihuahua sets forth to conquer Planet Earth with true stories, folk lore, and wonderful photographs of chihuahuas from the PreHispanic Americas right up to modern times and worldwide. You're in for a pictorial treat -- so come and join the conquest!


[NOTE: There will soon be a great many galleries and hundreds of photos in every subject area relating to chihuahuas, as fast as I can write the html code and do the uploads. The cite only goes up on December 17, 2009, so it's too new to have more than a start, but the files are jam-packed with more cool stuff than you can yet imagine!

Hundreds of links relating to sundry photographed are also being provided. As some links go dead in time, I would appreciate being informed of any that no longer function.]

Celebrities and Their Chihuahuas: Classic Hollywood
It didn't start with today's Paris Hiltons. Chihuahuas have been the small obsessions of actors and other entertainers since the early days of Vaudeville, the silent film era, and before the Great War. Not exclusively Vintage Hollywood, this gallery also includes Golden Age European stars, plus a few politicians and famous authors of the past of equal or greater celebrity, from the same early eras.

Native America Gallery: Dogs of the Ancient Petroglyphs
Dogs, small and large, are a regular feature of prehistoric petroglyphs throughout the American West and Southwest. As the deserts of the Southwest in particular are contiguous with the Mexico, it is inescapable that some of the petroglyph (art chipped into rocks) and pictographs (drawn onto rocks) inevitablly have to be the techichi or proto-chihuahua, the oldest surviving native dog breed. Herein, a gallery of Native American petroglyphs with my meditations on their meaning and the place of dogs in prehistoric North America.

Many More Galleries On The Way,
as well as continuous expansion of existing galleries.
