Is it dangerous for small chihuahua and a male toy fox terrier to have puppies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the size of the female. Small female Chihuahua's are very likely to need Cesarean Sections, you should NEVER purposely breed a female Chihuahua to a male dog (of any kind) that is larger than her. Chihuahua's should only be bred with extreme care and preparation for the worst.

What is the average size of a dog litter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Different breeds have different size litters, but in general, the average size of a dog litter is about 6 puppies.

I agree some kinds of dogs have more but I know that a chihuahua has around 4 puppies

Six, but it varies from different breeds of dogs.

The average size litter for a dog is 6-8. And of course that depends on the breed and size of dog and the size of the puppies. My dog is a litter of 7!!

so i am American and i will tell you that dogs are great and my great aunt in Switzerland has one and it comes handy when owning a farm for protection of foxes but sometimes they can get nervous so don't touch them when they are nervous and they are also not good with other dogs unless they live in the same house.

This is mine too in French: Bonjour je suis American et i vais dit a vous tous comment les fox terrier est un bon chein. Mon grand tante avoir un chein comme ca. Cest pour proteger les animaux sur la ferme des les renards. Et aussi quand ils sont avec les autres cheins de un autre personne, des fois le chein peut etre nerveux et si c'est nerveux tu ne touche pas et mais le chein dans la maison. C'est parce que les fox terriers peuvent pas sentendre avec les autres chiens.

What breed of dog is compatible to fox terrier?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A fox terrier is classified as a terrier so is relatively small in size (approx. 40cm) so I would recommend a dog of a similar size and temperament. Here are some breeds:

Norfolk Terrier: This dog breed belongs to the terrier group and is approx 25cm tall. They are intelligent and playful dogs that get on relatively well with children and animals especially if introduced as a pup. They are lively and enjoy exercise but have a tendency to bark and dig.

Dachshund: This dog breed comes in 2 sizes (Miniature; 16cm Standard; 23cm), and has 3 different fur coats (wire haired, smooth haired and long haired). This breed belongs to the hound group but has the temperament similar to a terrier. They are active, playful and highly intelligent but do not need much exercise. They are easy to transport and affectionate with their family but have a tendency to be more wary of strangers.

Poodle: This dog breed is in the category Toy dogs which means they are bred for companionship. They come in a variety of sizes and I would recomend miniature (approx. 40cm). Poodles are easy to train and get on very well with other animals and children.

Other breeds you may wish to consider are: Border Terrier, Cocker spaniel, Schnauzer, Jack Russel terrier, Pug, Yorkshire terrier or maybe another fox terrier.

Hope this helps :)

Why do fox terriers bark?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Communication. The howl/screech to let other males know it is their territory and to make females aware they are nearby. It is also used to startle prey from hiding as they make their way through the area. A mouse or rabbit in hiding may dart away when the fox howls bringing the prey to the attention of the fox.

What do fox terriers eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lots of things. I have 2 at home and we give them dry dog food, canned wet food, and occasionally they will eat human food if they can get to it. Canned food is not very good for them so don't give it to them that often. dry food works best.

How much is a fox terrier worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, the Mini Fox Terrier (Fox Terrier's toy breed) cost from $500 to $2000 and even sometimes more, it depends on background and quality. That said, there are several varieties of fox terriers, and the price will vary with the type with geographic areas, and with breeding history.

One factor that should always be considered is never to buy from a "backyard breeder". If you are intent on getting a purebred dog, be sure to research the breeders credentials and to contact official breed organizations for the breeder's bona fides.

If you are open to adoption of either pure-breds or mixed, and especially adult dogs, there are many awaiting adoption at shelters and through volunteer organizations nationwide and in your community.

Yes if you want an active playful dog. Like with all dogs, an adult should be alert and responsible for both the dog and the child's behavior. Fox terriers love children and consider themselves one of the children.
