When can I breed a male chihuahua?

at the first heat cycle which is at about 7 months. It is very unsafe to breed a dog in it first heat. also know that most chihuahuas need c-sections that costs 1000's of dollars at an emergency vet. Besides the fact that there are 1000's of homeless chihuahuas killed every year because there are more chis than homes- so who would want to make more. Look up low cost and free clinics to get your dog fixed. She will make a better pet and not leave blood all over your home 2 months out of the year. Serena Chihuahua & Toy Breed Rescue www.crar.org

Your dog Chihuahua shivers and then pants at night is he sick?

When he pants and shivers it probably means that he is cold at night. That is in most cases, but there is one case that is different. You may need to ask some questions though. Where does your chihuahua mix sleep? What is he mixed with? My aunts chihuahua was mixed with a Mexican hairless dog so it barely had any hair and it was acting like yours. It is probably just a genetic reaction to something that happened when he was born, something he ate, or he just is a regular chihuahua.

Why are chihuahuas so expensive?

Chinchillas are very slow breeding gestation takes 111days and weaning a further 4 months. This means you are paying for around 8 months worth of the breeders' time, food and electric. Compare this to say a dog which has a gestation of 60-65 days and weaned around 6 weeks and off to new homes at 8 weeks. The whole process takes around 4 months; half the time of a chinchilla! Additionaly, the litter size is small with usually only 1 or 2 kits (rarley 3) being born. A dog litter is much larger, 5-10 puppies in a Labrador litter for example. Chinchillas are very long lived most people quote around 10-20 years but some have lived until around 30. These are similar to dog life spans. So really you are paying for a companion who will be with you a long time. Incidently the care costs for a chinchilla in terms of food, hay and treats are much less than those of a dog. They are also less likely to need vetanary treatments like vaccinations.

What is a temperament of a husky have?

Huskies have amazing temperaments! But be careful, huskies are definitely not for everyone.

Huskies are friendly and often timid of new people. I haven't seen a lot of mean huskies, unless they've been abused. Most huskies are friendly, just a little shy.

Huskies are wonderful pets but they come at a price - they have a tendency to get 'bored' and may start destroying things. They are also escape artists. Just a few days ago I had to get my husky Nena off the roof, she climbed out a window.

Every dog goes through it's 'puppy stages', chewing, tearing things up, making messes, which last a few months.

Huskies, on the other hand, may not grow out of it until a year. Nena is a year and half and I still need to set the trash can on the back porch before I leave her at home, once she gets bored she will make HORRIBLE messes. The worst I've ever seen was three trash bags torn up through my house, dirty diapers and everything, all over the floor.

It's hard to make them change, you have to change your own life to fit them.

Lastly, huskies get very lonely, their instincts tell them they should be in a 'pack'. When they're left alone, they don't understand why they were isolated from the pack. I would recommend another dog to keep it company.

Besides they one crippling tendency - messes, messes, messes, huskies make AMAZING pets.

They have wonderful temperaments.

Why do Chihuahuas bite so much?

It is usually a myth that any breed of animal is "mean". Just like people, animals have their own distinct personalities, and some are meaner than others. Dogs are mean because they are trained to be mean or are exposed to predominantly aggressive behaviour and other aggressive dogs. Some older Chihuahuas do tend to become quite snappy, but the Chihuahua as a breed is not mean. Some dogs from any breed will be lovely, and others will be snappy and aggressive - it depends on the indivudual. Chihuahuas are not mean. Like many breeds they are protective of their masters. They are great house dogs and companions. === === I have seven chihuahuas and they are all the sweetest most loyle dogs i have ever owned.

How do chihuahuas come out when the mom is long-haired and the dad is short-haired?

The only true way to get a long haired chihuahua is mom and dad to both be long haired. Once in a blue moon a long hair may pup up in a litter because of the hidden long hair gene that has to be within both parents. So, it can happen but I have never gotten a truly thick long hair chihuahua this way.

Should you groom a chihuahua?

Most Chihuahuas do enjoy grooming. If you want to give a chihuahua a bath, just remember that not all chihuahuas like baths. Whether it is their first time or not, not ALL chihuahuas like baths. However, some do like getting bathed. If it is their first time, make them feel comfortable, gently put some water on them, then, once they start getting into the bath, reward them with a treat. This will them better at baths and less scared of the water. Now here is what you do. A average bathtub or a medium/large/small ( depending on your Chihuahua's size) kitchen sink will do ( kitchen sink or bathtub should be easier with a hose, however, if you do not have that choice, you can always use a large cup.) I'd recommend using dog shampoo and conditioner, however, you can use regular shampoo and conditioner, as long as its fragrant free, mild, and you use a small amount. If you are trying to style a Chihuahua's hair, you can only style a long haired chihuahua. I would recommend just doing cute little tiny braids ( so the braids don't have the best chance of getting in knots, I'd recommend taking the long haired chihuahua to a dog hair stylist.), however, if you don't care much for braids, you can always do small pony tails. Just get a nice hair band, (as i would not recommend rubber,) and put the pony tail in nicely. Not too tight, not too loose. You cannot style a short haired, smooth coat, or any chihuahua that does not have a "long-ish" coat. You can buy outfits for

Chihuahuas. I have a couple of outfits for my chihuahua, and they look absolutely ADORABLE. You can find little dog outfits on the Internet, and at most pet stores. Now, best of all, your chihuahua should enjoy being softly brushed. If you don't have one already, go buy a soft bristle small brush from a pet store, or on the Internet. Once you have a brush, the most comfortable way for you to brush your chihuahua, is by simply just siting on the couch, laying in bed, or just relaxing with your little best friend. Grab the brush, let your Chihuahua lay comfortably, and brush him/her. Bonus: this will make their coat even softer.

I hope this helped!
