Hello and welcome Angela. I am new here too. Can't wait to see a picture of your new baby......beard and all.

She is a pure bred with papers and I have seen both of her parents. My question is... I am not new to dog ownership and I am aware of the two coat types for the chi breed, however, I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that my little Greta is a wire-coated chihuahua. I "know" that that is not supposed to be and I also know that she is pure bred. So, is this a spontaneous mutation and are any of you aware of this? Her mom is a smooth coat and her sire is long coated. She is desribed as a medium coat, but she has a rougher texture and she most certainly has a beard! She is adorable nonetheless, but again much different looking than her littermates. I will post pictures when I figure out how all of this works :) Peace, Angela M
