The kennel club recognizes only two types of chihuahua - the smooth coat and the long coat. So with this in mind you can expect a chihuahua bitch to have on average of 2-3 pups, though there are many who have just one and many who have 6-7. Bear in mind that exceptionally small chihuahua bitches who are bred may have a hard time during delivery and may even need a c-section.

Note: The terms 'tea-cup chihuahua' or 'deer type chihuahua' are actually just sales gimics from people trying to sell their puppies for higher prices. Deer types do not conform to the chihuahua standards of either the AKC or the KC, but none the less make lovely pets. Teacups, as they are sometimes referred, are just normal Chihuahuas who are very small, either because they are runts or because they have been bred that way. This can be damaging to the breed as they are already pushing it when it comes to size and health problems.
