So how can you tell if a chi has low sugar? I looked up on the internet about what kind of food she needs. I went to petsmart and got her food there. I got proplan for small puppies. Puppies that will grow to only be less than ten pounds. The first ingredient is chicken. And all of the other things like the fat and stuff is where it should be as well. See now that you say that about a good breeder I was wondering if my breeder was good or not. This is the first time that I have purchased a purebred dog. When I went to pick her up the breeder has like six or seven male chi's and I don't know how many female I never saw them. Her house reeked of dog pee and poop. But misty was clean and healthy looking when I picked her up. She had just gotten her shots. But the poor thing has so many fleas. I did get a spray for her that is for puppies six weeks and older. I used it on her making sure not to get any in her eyes, ears or mouth. Then I kept her wrapped in a towel until she was dried. They seem less now. Should I do that again. I love her so much and just want to give her the best care possible. I don't want to bathe her right now. I think that she is to small and young. I don't want her to get sick. I do have her a crate. Though nothing small enough for her to just to be able to turn around in. It is huge for her right now. But I am proud of her. I had to work today and when I got home she had not pooped or peed in her crate! You are right I don't want to confuse her on the potty training thing. Though I don't have a sweater for her yet and it will be below thirty tonight. So I think since she is so young still I will only let her go in the one spot In my room where I have the newpaper at. So far (and I know there will be accidents) she seems to be doing good at only going on the paper or outside but no where else. If there are any ideas or anything anyone can offer me then please feel free. I just want her to be happy and healthy and I want her to live for a long time.

Most larger breeds do leave at that age, but a responsible chi breeder will usually not release a chi pup that early with out a very good reason. 8 to 12 weeks is the norm for most. The reason is mostly due to the small size and the health problems that can attack a chi pup. (like low sugar!) Sometimes, a breeder will allow a 6 week old to go to a very experienced chi person. One who is familiar with and has experience with chis....knows what they are doing. Many people simply do not understand how fragile a chi pup can be! I keep mine for 12 weeks.
