How many puppies can a deer face chihuahua have?
A litter can range from 1 to 8 pups. Sometimes there can be as many as 12 but this is rare.
It depends on what kind of chihuahua you have if you have a teacup or toy they have up to 4 puppies and if you have a regular chihuahua they have 5-6 puppies.
They have 2 to 4,but I have seen 7 so just make sure you breed with another chihuahua and only 1 or 2 times together,the more they are together the more puppies there will be and you do not want that

What is the best Food for overweight Chihuahua?
Dog food
Anything from the Nutra company is good becasue it is all natural ( Innova is good). I feed my long haired Chihuahua and the rest of my dog California Natural. It's good becasue it is just like thes vets i/d, it's gental on the stomach, and it only has four main ingred. not only is it used on my personal dogs but on my foster dogs too.
Don't buy dog food with dies in it because the dies have been proven to A) cause cancer and B) make you dog hyper (like beneful its so bad that often animal control won't take it) Dogs have such horrible taste buds that they could eat the same thing all their life and not care what attracts them to different foods is the smell.
NOTE: Even if they dont have California Natural on they're shelves if they carry natural foods (like Innova) you could ask the people working there to order you some.
A good food would be Wellness Small breed formula its a holistic food that is really good for your dog. Also Solid Gold has a small breed formula. You could also try Canidae or Innova small bites. Hope that's a little more helpful then just dog food!

Chihuahua's are very intelligent. Chi's have a extremely close bond to their owners. And if you as a chi owner is patient and caring, your chi will learn very quickly. Chi's love pleasing their people, and nice words and affection go along way in their training process.

When training your chi, be relaxed and pleasant. Make learning a fun game, give lots of praise and rewards and you as a chi owner will be rewarded with a wonderful little companion.

It is best to mate her at the age of 3 as this would be her healthiest time of life.
Chihuahuas should not be fat at all! If they are purebred with a typical size of bone structure, they should weigh one to six pounds. Over that size they are prone to joint injuries, tracheal collapse, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, and shortened life span. Their tiny frames and hearts and lungs are not capable of carrying extra weight. To judge the appropriateness of the weight of your chihuahua: * You should be able to easily feel the ribs on their sides, but not see them sticking out too much.
* Looking at the side view, their "bottom line" should be curved up at the abdomen, rather than straight, i.e., with the tummy tucked up in the area behind the chest and ribs, rather than a straight line or bulging down in the abdominal area.
* Looking down from the top along the spine, you should see a noticeable "waist" or they will be considered overweight.
If you know a person who is over-feeding their dog and may be thinking that they are showing the dog love with the extra food and treats, have someone explain to them that they are actually hurting their dogs. They are unknowingly being cruel, in some cases even abusive. They are causing their dog to suffer with joint pain; diabetes, which can cause blindness; shortness of breath and air hunger from heart diseases; chronic bronchitis with a debilitating cough; and perhaps even crushing of the wind pipe; and finally an early death that can all be associated with being overweight. You can feed your dog to death. The consequences of over-feeding are much more cruel than any possible thoughts an owner may have about being cruel by withholding larger than necessary portions or frequent treats.
This is true of all pets. They depend on usto love them enough, like our children do, to know how to care for them to keep them healthy and do what they need, not what we want to do to make ourselves feel needed. Healthy pets are happy pets.
