The following is a list of characters from the 2008 Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films comedy Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
Dogs[]
Chloe[]
Voice Actor: Drew Barrymore
Chloe is the main protagonist of the movie. She is a diamond-clad ultra-pampered Beverly Hills Chihuahua, owned by Vivian Ashe. She is prissy and loves to hang with her dog-friends. Her next-door neighbor Papi has a desperate crush on her, but she dislikes him. She also does not get along with Vivian’s niece Rachel and was about to get revenge on her in Mexico, but got dognapped. When Delgado rescues her from El Diablo, he offers her to get home to Beverly Hills. Her diamond collar was later stolen by Manuel and Chico, much to Delgado’s anger. When she and Delgado get stranded in a desert and get surrounded by mountain lions, they had been saved by Montezuma and the other Chihuahuas and have been shown to the old Aztec ruins filled with Chihuahuas. She later feels guilty for being mean to Papi and realizes that he is her true love. When Chloe learns that Chihuahuas are not meant to be lap dogs and has to find her inner bark, it comes out as a high-pitched squeak. She is then found in a national park, but gets attacked by El Diablo and finally finds her inner bark. She then gets slammed and appears to be dead, but is still alive. When she got home, she was impressed by Papi, tells him that she loves him in Spanish, and licks him to the ground.
During the end credits, Papi reveals to us that he and Chloe have puppies.
In a deleted scene, she learns to love eating grasshoppers (Papi offered her one in the beginning of the movie, but did not wish to eat it).
Papi[]
Voice Actor: George Lopez
Papi is a brown and white mexican Chihuahua, owned by Sam Cortez. He and his owner are both landscapers. He is in love with Chloe and tries his best to win her heart. When he learns that she is lost in Mexico, he becomes shocked and plans to rescue her. He states “we are Mexican, not Mexican’t” and teams up with Rachel, Sam, Chucho, and Rafa. He has finally found Chloe and gets caged in an old ruin and gets rescued by her. He tries to distract El Diablo, but gets cornered by the evil Doberman and gets saved by Chloe again with her inner bark. He has finally impressed her and has the best night of his life.
In one scene, it is revealed that he was a stray, but got rescued and owned by Sam.
An alternate ending shows us Chloe and Papi singing a duet of Mi Corazon.
Delgado[]
Voice Actor: Andy Garcia
Delgado is a German Shepherd and former Mexican police dog. He has lost his sense of smell in a major bust involving long-time tough criminals Vasquez and his dog El Diablo, where Vasquez uses a gun against the cops and El Diablo trounces on Delgado and hurts him bad (possibly bites his nose). He later wakes up to see that his partner is badly beaten and lies down on the ground (possibly killed) and later learns that he can’t smell anymore. He is then dognapped in the dog fights and meets Chloe, he later escapes to help Chloe and lets all the other dogs escape as well. He was planning to walk away from her, but feels bad for Chloe and decides to help her get back home. Chloe enters a fancy 5-star restaurant as a preferred costumer, but gets kicked out for being covered in mud, much to Chloe’s sadness. She gets more upset when Delgado abandoned her believing she’s getting pampered in the restaurant mistaking her for a white Chihuahua. He comes back to save her from El Diablo and runs through a museum. At first, Chloe and Delgado hardly get along, for example: he becomes furious that Chloe had been fooled when Manuel steals her diamond collar and states “iguanas are vegetarians, that’s the oldest con in the book”. He’s even tired of her asking too many questions about his job and he sends her on a train to Tijuana, he says “Best of Luck!” and walks away, leaving Chloe to whimper. However, he chases the train and learns that “a promise is a promise”. He jumps off the train and tells Chloe to stay on board, but she jumps off as well, leaving them stranded in a desert. When they are ambushed by mountain lions, he tries to fend them off, but got saved by Montezuma. After their stay with Monte, they head out to a national park where Chloe gets kidnapped again, and (with the help of Manuel and Chico with Chloe’s collar), he gets his sense of smell back. In the old ruin, Delgado defeats El Diablo and Vasquez by pouncing on them and also gets Vasquez’s assisant Rafferty arrested by tricking him. He becomes K9 Unit and lives with Officer Ramirez.
During the end credits, delglado tells the audience that he has earned a police award for his capture of El Diablo.
El Diablo[]
Voice Actor: Edward James Olmos
El Diablo is the main villain of the movie. He is a Doberman, owned by Vasquez. He is also the star of the dogfight ring. Chloe was left to defend herself from him and gets completely unharmed (but he does rip out her dress). Delgado then saves her and El Diablo states “I’ll get you for this, I’ll get you”. Vasquez learns that Chloe is worth something, and sends the Doberman to hunt her down. He has found her and is about to take her down, but Delgado rescues her again and chases the 2 through a museum and gets surrounded by security guards. Then (without noticing) climbs on the train that goes northwest to Tijuana and eventually jumps off. He captures Chloe (while she is found by employees) and searches for her in the old ruin. Chloe is no longer scared of him and with the help of Papi and Delgado, he was forced to surrender, with Delgado stating, “It’s over Diablo, you’ve taken everything from me, now were even!” and runs off in humiliation.
The end credits shows us that Delgado has finally captured El Diablo and that after his stay in the pound, he gets adopted by a rich woman who has a “passion for fashion”, meaning he is forced to wear girly clothes and spends the rest of his life in misery.

He even tells Chloe that she has to find her inner bark, even though Chloe’s was more of a squeak, and tells her that she will use it when she needs it the most.
In a deleted scene, Monte shows Chloe to the pool in the middle of the ruins where it takes a Chihuahua on a Vision Quest, when it’s their time. She licks some of the water and goes back in time and Chloe’s spirit guide Margarita shows her around the tale of the Servant and the Princess.
