I am sorry that you haven taken offence at what has been said, but
I compeletly agree with Nonnie. Breeding dogs just for breeding sake is wrong.
Unfortantly the damage has already been done. Chances are she was already
pregnate before you posted your frist post. Like humans it only takes one
time. However I do disagree with you. You have absolutly no clue what you are
doing. Sorry, but I wondered why you had a dog in the frist place when I read
your frist post. You were asking questions that even someone that doesn't like
dogs would know. It seems to me that you don't know one thing about dogs
themselves let alone about breeding them. However all of this aside; as I said
eariler the damage is done now. You have about two months to read, and find
out everything you can about welping litters. Also since you don't know what
kind of health your female is in, let alone the health of her family tree you
should prepare yourselve for the death of not only the litter, but also of
your female. I'm not saying that she, or the pups will die, but the chance of
it happening is very real. I have been learning all I can because I want to be
a Chihuahua breeder myself, and since I can't get any Chihuahuas right now due
to a house already overflowing with animals (LOL) I am using this time to
learn. I have heard about so many pups dying that were born to competely
healhty parents. So many in fact that I am really serching myself to see if I
can handle being a breeder of Chihuahuas. I get attached so easily that I'm
not sure I could handle one death after the other. However I am also like that
other person. Though I think you are very illresponsiable, and shouldn't have
a dog until you learn about them I will help you out if I can, and you want my
help. If she is pregnate like I am sure she is; you are going to need it. As
the only thing you can do now to prevent this is to spay her.

By
your statement, you tell me you don't want the true advice we are giving
you. You have decided to breed these dogs because you want to.
Not what is good for the dogs, their offspring or anyone else. To me
that is a selfish decision and you are in denial. I feel you are
making a bad decision, have not done your homework (which would make a
responsible and informed person who is breeding dogs) and should NOT be
breeding these dogs on a "whim" Because that is exactly what it
is. You have no idea of pedigrees and health issues and are just
"hoping" for the best. You may get lucky... but remember for each dog
you breed more will come from it. And you are contributing to the
amount of dogs that will die down the road for irresponsible ownership, lack
of care and genetic problems.
If
you wanted to do this wouldn't you have done research rather than just
throwing 2 animals together and not even having a clue about the whole
process?
I
know I'm right on this.
I
don't think you have one iota of what you are doing... Your questions prove
that.
You sure need an education.

I see your point of view, but I know what I'm doing. Now that i've
heard enough opinions I think I'll just not ask for advice on here
anymore.

well it sure seems that you don't know what you are doing
breeding 2 dogs. What are their genetic health issues and have you
even researched that. That should be done and by the questions you
ask and as you present yourself it is my opinion that you don't have a
clue. As far as mating them because you love them.... realize that
you place your female in jeopardy, set yourself up for major vet bills
and alot of people have bred dogs because they love them...... and you
know what those loved baby dogs die every day in shelters because others
like you breed them, don't want them, get apartments where they can't
have them and the dogs die every day from casual matings like
this. The other thing I love is when people say they breed their
dogs because they want their children to experience the miracle of
birth. I say to them rent a dvd or find it online.... Save a
dog... Be realistic.
Chihuahuas like any other breed of animal have congenital defects
that are genetically passed and may not be evident. The prudent
person doesn't put 2 dogs together and breed.
Nonnie
The reason we are mating them is because we would love to let her
have a litter of pups! My mom and I love chihuahuas! The whole side of
my mom's family likes chihuahuas and think their all cute =D
After Dina has her first litter we are thinking of neutering her.
But we're planning on keeping 1 or 2 pups of hers. If she does have
more then we're expecting then my aunt Carla, my grandmother Rose, and
my cousin (27 years old) Liz said they would be able to adopt them.
And since we know them very well and they have no small kids in their
household, that the pups would be well taken care of with them.
Nonnie I think you're being a little too picky. It's not like my
family doesn't know what we/they are doing. If we need any more
help/suggestions we can contact Dina's vet or the breeder we bought
her from. I was just hoping to get some assitance on the web, too. I'd
like to know as much as I can before they have
pups.

I agree but also
when mating two dogs I thought the male should be smaller than the
female not the same size. JMO

Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] I
need some assistance about my chihuahua mating...
have you health tested them and their genetic lines so as
to prevent alot of the genetic abnormalities that are present in
the breed? You should not be just mating 2 dogs. What
is the reason that you are mating them?

My female chihuahau (Dina) is 14 months old and this is the
first
time she is going to be...mating with another male
chihuahua.
My mom's friend is the person that Ricky
(Dina's bf) belongs to, and
so Ricky will be at our house
for 1-2 weeks or as long as it takes
to get my dog pregnant.
We just brought Ricky on Monday and at first
Dina was afraid
of Ricky because she is never with another dog exept
her
best friend (Sunny...a golden retreiver), and she was pretty
strict with Ricky. But on Monday night we put the both of
them in a
large kennel/crate and Dina seemed to still be
afraid of Ricky, but
Ricky wanted to get down to "buisness"
and he kept sniffing Dina and
trying to get on her but she
wouldn't let him. And now they seem to
be getting along
great! Well today I took both Ricky and Dina a bath
and I
brought both of them in to my room. Then when I was on my
computer I saw Ricky humping Dina. My friend told me that I
am NOT
supposed to interupt them or anything...but if they
all of a sudden
start doing it when can I go bring them back
to their kennel? And
how long do they usually do it for? How
many times and for how many
days do they need to do it for
so that Ricky can get her pregnant?
And after he gets her
pregnant how long will it be until she has her
pups?
