Re: [Chihuahuas] New Chi Mommy Needs Advice

[Jerseee Lass]

Hi Kathy!     Thanks for the good advice. I live in South Jersey, about 5 miles from Philly. The breeder is in Vineland, just a short drive down 55. They are really nice people who love their little ones. The litter was 4 pups; 2 males and 2 females. One male is solid tan (like the daddy) and one is white with tan spots (mommy is white with black spots). Let me know if you want their contact info.     In the summer I work for a few hours at a time on an irregular schedule of my choosing, so I thought summer would be a great time to get a puppy. I plan to train her to potty outside, and to use the pee pads when I'm not there. She'll be crated... except when I'm holding her, which will be all the time!  I'm still thinking of a name... right now Nina seems to be my favorite.     I tried to 'trim' this message, but I was unable to do it. My browser wouldn't let me.

We are in southeastern PA and someday want another little male so Brutus won't be our only studmuffin!  LOL...     We crate and peepee pad train our chi's for their safety and ours.  Or take them outside often, free feed them if possible.  Take her out after a nap and playtime if possible too.  Be sure to socialize her, so she will love
 people and not be "too snooty" as some people say.  Just becareful about walking her in public places until she has all her shots, until then ours are only allowed in our yard.  Even when we take them to the vet, we take a peepee pad or blanket to put them on.  Our vets clean the tables and all before eat pet, but I guess you can say we are very protective of our babies.     Then during the day when I am home, they are still blocked in the livingroom.  If we go out, the two little girls are in their crate, and the 3 older chi's (still pups though) are free in the livingroom. I change their water 3 times a day, keep Nutri-Cal on hand in case of a sugar drop in any of them (5).     Our pugs are crated as they just are kind of clumsy and can hurt the chi's without meaning too.     We put it this way, you cannot love them enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We will be
 looking forward to pictures as soon as you can send some our way!!!!!!!!!!!!!     --Kathy in PA Little Chihuahua Kisses http://www.lilchihuahuakisses.com      -------------- Original message -------------- From: "jerseeegirl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>     Hi! I met my new 6 1/2-week old baby chi today and put a deposit down. I'll get her next week. She's SO cute! She's mainly white with some tan spots. Her parents were there at the breeders. Nice people.. nice dogs too! Thinking of names... I went and bought her a layette LOL... a little pink tank dress, a little pink flowered collar, leash, carrier, bowls, toys, blanket... all in pink!. Anyway, I've rescued a few adult beagles and a pom, but have only had one pup (a beagle) ever in my life.
 Does anyone have any advice on housebreaking my chi? Feeding her? When are they old enough to begin obedience training?Lucy in NJ
