Re: [Chihuahuas] Newbie here

hi!   I have the chi for dummies book.  It is excellent.  I would get it and that's the only book u will need.  Unlike some breed specific books, the dummies book has a lot on Chis.  Not the 2 pages most breed specific books have then the rest of the book is general dog info.  Dummies books always seem good and sooo easy to read.=)   If you have your heart set on a certain size dog, check out a chihuahua weight chart.  It is far from accurate, in my opinion, but it will give you an idea of how big the puppy may get.  I dont think the chart factors in that some puppy will grow up with a thin build or the stocky build.  Please do not get a tiny if you plan to breed someday.  I do not breed.  If you talk to a GOOD breeder, you will find it takes a very special person.  There is a lot of work if for example a puppy wont nurse,  vet expense if something goes wrong...  I could go on and on and on...  AND if you are going to breed get a good typy chihuahua from a very good breeder.   If you arent going to adopt from a pound or society.  I strongly recommend a good breeder.   Hopefully, your puppy will be about 12 weeks when you adopt it.  If you read back through the recent posts, you will see the heartbreak a member here just had trying to do a nice thing and buying a 6 week old chihuahua.    Katie=) " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
