I'm not saying that it's not a good ideal im only saying someone wanting to get
one may not want to spend the time or money to feed them that and if you feed
any dog that stuff that is refusing to eat dog food what are you going to do
when the person buying the chi does not want to do all that you take the
chance that they may give it up to someone not approved by you and as a breeder
I like to make sure my little guys go to a good home i would not want to risk
the chance that my babies could end up in the wrong hands or even worse in the
pound all because i feed my chi something that is other than dog food and if i
had a chi that i would have to feed somthing like that i would make sure that
it would eat reg. dog food befor i sold it my chi are my babies un like you i
dont have a bunch of dog to care for all my chi are house pet and ARE NEVER PUT
IN A CAGE.. that includes the pups they become apart of my family Im there the
min they are borned and there with me till i
feel that they are sound enought to take the stress of being sold and not a
min. sooner I,m not in it for the money im in it for the love of the breed and
to bring happyness to people looking for a well stabled chi that is people
friendly not scared of them because they were in a cage there whole life with
little human contact. no disrespect for the people who have kennels it not
that there bad i just dont care for caging an animal.

And I may get kicked off this group for stating my opinion but hey good men
and women fought for my freedom of speech and I am gonna say what I feel.
First how long have you been breeding Chihuahua's ?
I'll answer that one from my side.....................over 30 YEARS
Probably about your age from the sound of things.
Have you never heard of the value of sweet potatoes in dogs?
Have you never ever tried something like this?
I was only trying to help.
My dogs are in demand all over the United States.
I have a waiting list for my Sporting Beagles.
So before you criticize KNOW where you are coming from or at least do a
little research.
Mare In Oklahoma who would NEVER hurt an animal !

im sorry to say but people food is for people if you feed this to a chi
that wont eat dog food it my never eatdog food and some people may not want to
spend the money or the time to make it and that might make it hard to sell them
I too give my chis people food but not till they are eating dog food i dont
want to make them think that is the food they are ment to eat people food is a
treat not regular food for dogs JUST MY THOUGHTS:)

chow recipe.
Mare's Dog Goulash
6-8 chicken thighs
1 Large can p lain pumpkin
2 large sweet potatoes
1 cup brown rice
1 cup oatmeal
1 large can mixed vegetables without the onions
Boil chicken thighs and debone saving the broth
Add the rice to the broth and cook the rice
Microwave the sweet potatoes 12 minutes
Grind the chicken up in a food processor or a blender or chop very fine
Add it to the broth/rice mixture
Add the vegetables drained
Add the sweet potatoes peeled and chopped fine or mashed
Add the oatmeal
Feed as much as they will eat . Probably a half cup per chi.
You can refrigerate the rest.
I do it in zip loc bags so I can just take a serving out and microwave it.
I have never had a dog refuse to eat it !
Good Luck !

I HAVE A LITTER OF CHIHUAHUAS THAT WILL BE 7 WEEKS OLD WEDNESDAY. I
HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO WEAN THEM. I HAVE TRIED MOISTENED PUPPY FOOD AND
ALSO SOFT PUPPY FOOD WITH GRAVY FROM A POUCH. THEY TURN THEIR NOSES
UP AT IT. MY LAST TWO LITTERS DID GREAT AND I HAD NO PROBLEM
WHATSOEVER GETTING THEM TO EAT. BUT THESE TWO BABIES SURE ARE
STUBBORN! DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO GET THESE LITTLE GUYS
TO WANT TO START TO EAT? A NY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THE
NEW OWNERS UNDERSTAND AND WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM AND KNOW THEY HAVE
TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE EATING WELL ON THEIR OWN. I AM GOING TO WAIT
UNTIL THEY ARE 8 WEEKS OLD OR OLDER BEFORE I LET THEM COME AND GET
THEM.
