Hi Venus...my son has a Chihuahua...he weighs at least 15 pounds...and is about the size of my parents miniature poodles. My daughter also has a bigger one...she must weigh about 10 pounds. Sox weighs a little less than 5 lbs...although he's starting to be a little porker now...so he might weigh a little more...haha...Dora...the one IO just got only weighs 4 pounds...IF that~~~I'm with Claudia~~~I love them all !!!~~~Sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: Venus Nielsen To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 3:25 PM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Chihuahua weight
Ok maybe I am wrong here but sometimes people really get to me. I was at the pet store this morning with my three little ones... this lady came over and was all ohhhh and ahhhh over them, then asked what breed they where. Of course I replied Chihuahuas. She kept arguing with me about it saying they are too big to be chihuahuas, that chihuahuas can't be over 5 lbs. Don't get me wrong... all of my little ones are larger chihuahuas. Chip is 7.2lbs, Dale is 10.5lbs... he is over weight and Gidget (my new little girl) is 7.9lbs. I know both Dale and Gidget have a little bit of weight on them they could lose but I don't think either of them would be or look health under 5lbs. Both of them are on a diet weight now so we are working to loss some of the extra weight. When Dale got fixed he went from 7lbs to 12lbs, so far he has lost a couple of lbs. Chip on the other hand looks skinny at 7.2lbs. I am wrong that it is normal for chihuahua to weight that much. Venus
