I have what some think is a "big chihuahua" as well. Sir Tiny is 8 pounds, not as big as yours, but bigger than a standard Chi. I got him from a shelter and have never thought he was a pure Chi (not that it matters to me).
Anyway, he acts like a Chi, at least from what everyone tells me. Maybe the Chi characteristics are just from dominant genes or something? (I don't know about the science). A friend told me that Chi mixes are becomings quite popular, and are being sold in my area, and are becoming expensive. Beagle/Chihuahu and Pug/Chihuahua are two of these combos. What's that - a Cheagle or a Chug? If you look at Miniature Pinschers and Toy Fox Terriers, you also might see some characteristics that match yours. --- In [email protected], "dale_pomeroy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > my chihuahua was 17.8 pounds at last weighing - he might be more now - > he might be a mix, but he has all the chihuahua characteristics - he > looks just like one - strangers on the street say 'I've never seen > such a big chihuahua > ------------------------ Yahoo!
