That’s true. However, my pug was very heavy when the vet first saw her. Pugs are notorious for being food pigs according to my vet. My chug is about right, but she is not yet full grown. My PIG (pug and Italian Greyhound is still skinny as a rail.

Pugs and Chugs have the bigger bone structure. They may not be overweight, just that they are a different build than the purebred Chihuahuas.

Pam, I have a couple of those “sausages” but they are not purebred Chihuahuas. My purebreds are skinny as rails. The pug, the chug and a chiXJack Russell are the sausages. I was warned by the vet not to hurry them about losing, but to just feed the recommended amount. She said they will slowly lose weight.

I dont think she will get much bigger..I have had a few tinies..got to love em..Bino is six years old now and he is pretty consistent with his weight..actually weighing exactly the same for three years now. I would say she will fill in a bit as she matures but probably wont get much over 3 1/2. Of course I am very strict with the food on my dogs..no people food..and measuring quantity. I think it is so sad to see little obese chihuahuas that look like sausages on stubby legs. As a breed they have such beautiful bone structure..shame to cover it with fat rolls. _____ No virus found in this message.
