An average Chihuahua weighs about 10-15kg. It really depends if theyare pure or cross breeds

Named after the state in Mexico where it was discovered.This is a dog unlike any other and its got a very unique name before it was called the chihuahua it was called the "Te-chichi."
if you mean how a dog has been called a chihuahua its because the state of where it comes and its Chihuahua , Mexico

some males will never breed. most can by 10 months. 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. males that are neutered young make better pets and do not pee all over the house. Serena Chihuahua & Toy Breed Rescue www.crar.org

Having two different colored eyes (called heterochromia) is often seen in the Siberian Husky and few other breeds, such as the Akita, Great Dane, and the Catahoula Leopard Dog, and the Australian Shepherd.

The Siberian Husky is the only breed allowed to show (at dog shows) with two different colored eyes.

Dogs are in heat for 21 days

There are three distinct stages of the heat cycle. The first one is the "Proestrus" and it is during this stage the owner will often notice the bleeding from the vulva. The bleeding itself can be slight or she can leave evidence of her condition everywhere she sits or lays. For those owners who keep their dogs in the house, many pet stores carry dog panties that hold special canine sanitary napkins to eliminate the mess. In addition to bleeding, the vulva will also swell and the dog will usually have an increase in urination. The most obvious sign to most owners are the increase in population of male dogs around their house. This proestrus part of the cycle will last between seven and ten days and the female will make it clear she wants no part of the male during this time. Unfortunately for the owner, the male dogs don't know how to take no for an answer. They will climb or dig under fences, attempt to breed through the fence if the female strays close enough and often serenade the dog and owner into the wee hours of the night.

The second stage or actual "Estrus" stage of the heat cycle will often begin between the eight and tenth day after the first sign of color (bleeding). During this time the color of the blood has gone from bright red to pink and then to an almost clear discharge. It is during this stage most females will allow a dog, in fact ANY dog to breed her. The estrus stage can last between four and seven days and it must be remembered the female can become pregnant with mixed litters. Just because you bred your purebred collie to another collie doesn't mean she can't have puppies with the Doberman next door and the German Shepherd up the street. Your best bet is to keep her confined in the house during the entire estrus cycle or take the easy way out and board her for the necessary time. If you keep her at home, you may want to purchase a crate to keep her in.

If you do decide to breed your dog, she will show her willingness to be bred by "flagging" whenever you scratch the area directly above her tail. By flagging, she will actually stand still and lift her tail up and out of the way. For those breeds that have had their tails docked, you will just have to wing it although a veterinarian can do a vaginal smear. Each stage of the cycle will have different types of cells appear on the slide.

The third stage of the heat cycle is the "Diestrus." This is when the female is going out of heat. During this time she will still be giving off the heat "scent" and males will still be congregating for her attentions. Once again she will be out of the mood and will snap at the males or sit and lie down when they try to mount her. The diestrus stage will last approximately seven to ten days. Once it is over, the dog will remain out of heat for approximately six to eight months.

The average estrus cycle in a dog is approximately twenty-one days and this cycle usually occurs every six to seven months. The first cycle will often depend on the size of the dog. Small breeds such, as Chihuahuas or Toy Poodles will come into heat between five and seven months. Large breeds like the Collie, Mastiff or Great Dane may have their first heat cycle at six months but it isn't unusual for them to delay until they are a twelve to sixteen months. Larger dogs develop at a much slower rate than small dogs. Becci H.

"Salmon poisoning in dogs is from the ingestion of certain kinds of raw fish that contain parasites that are toxic to dogs. If you suspect that are dog might have eaten fish, contact your veterinarian immediately since this condition can cause death." Yes they can..lay off the raw ones though.

Mmmm, here's the deal. Insects can survive in water for a while because they breathe through their bodies and small bubbles of air cling to the minute hairs on their bodies. You can't get rid of fleas by submerging the animal in water, it just won't work. Not to mention air is also trapped in the animal's fur. You really need some sort of "flux" to get the air off them and poison the bugs. Shampoo for fleas is great as it also has a poison for fleas, but if you don't have any and can't get any, a good human shampoo will do in a punch and usually works if you lather up the animal, rinse, lather and rinse. It will usually kill the fleas off and they'll wash off the body with a good rinsing. Make sure to use your hands and really massage and scrub. Good luck

Most dogs go into season, or heat, twice a year. This then lasts for 10-14 days.

Chihuahuas are actually notorious for their love of their own breed: The Chihuahua.

Chihuahuas will quite happily get along with another chihuahua but i dont think other breeds are allowed the same contempt.

Dogs can be trained to do a large variety of jobs. Besides the obvious of police dog and various departmental dogs there are dogs that are trained for the deaf. Dogs are trained to help the elderly or handicapped. You can train your own dog if it is big enough to carry things for you in a backpack that is fitted on the dog. Also to pull a cart or wagon. Truely the dog can be trained to help its human family in so many ways. One of more unusual dog jobs is ratting. All you need is an eager dog and an imagination.

There are also sniffer dogs and rescue dogs.

No because a jack Russell terriers has hair. When hair sheds, it will float, unlike fur. Hair is on long haired dogs like pomerainians and jack russells. Fur is on short haired dogs like rat terriers and bull dogs. Fur will collect in the carpet and cause dander and allergy problems.

It can really vary on the length of time before a Labrador retriever puppy can be removed from their mother. Most of the time it should be six to eight weeks before they can even be given out.

Most chihuahuas live in peoples homes. I'm not sure they would survive in the wild.

Chihuahuas originated in China, The word Chi in chihuahua means energy, that is why they are so hyper, they migrated to mexico. I own a chihuahua,trust me i know hyper!

Chihuahua's have an average litter size of between only 1 and 3 puppies, whilst Pomeranian's have an average litter size of between 2 and 4 puppies. This means that you could expect a Chihuahua cross Pomeranian to have around 2 or 3 puppies.

it would really depend border collies need lots of exercise a day while a chihuahua not much at all also border collies shed a lot and can grow to be quite big its probably best to do quite a bit of research on both of the dogs

Sure, but before you breed, take into consideration of all the animals that are euthanized every day from overpopulation. There is no need to bring unwanted puppies into the world. And trust me, you will have a difficult time getting rid of the puppies, particularly if you're hoping to make money off of it.

If that isn't enough of a deterrent - research whelping. Is really something you want to do? Probably not. Particularly considering all the complications that can arise.

Yes. Bigger dogs have shorter life spans. For example the Great Dane, it has a average life span. It may live up to 8 years. Chihuahuas are small that they live up to 20 years. My chihuahua, linda, she has been with me for 4 years and she has about 16 years more to live.

Chihuahuas often have a condition called a collapsed trach. This means that when they get very excited or upset their windpipe actually collapses for a short period of time. Sometimes it sounds like coughing, or wheezing. It can be frightening for both the animal and the owner, but just soothe your Chihuahua and she'll soon be breathing easy again.

There are many sellers claiming to sell designer Replicas (also known as knock-offs, fakes, counterfeit items) that come with tags, authenticity cards, serial numbers and even receipts as authentic.

The only place to purchase authentic Tiffany Co jewelry is as www.Tiffany.com, other sites claiming to be Tiffany websites are fake. Tiffany does not have any retailers, re-sellers or distributors.

Pace yourself! If you have zero endurance, like me, and don't know how to pace yourself, go a little more than moderate for the first 150 or so and then sprint the last 25 or 50. Also practice your flipturns, my coach told me that a good flip turn can shave 3 seconds off of your time.

IT REALLY DEPENDS, if u r swimming in long course then u don't want to swim as fast b/c u wil get tired easily but in short course u want to swim faster. The first lap get ahead of everybody and then the second lap just pace yourself but stay in front or get closer to the front (ahead of everbody) i have a lot of endurance so pretty easy for me. On thrid get a little faster, and get faster ans faster with each lap, on last 50 sprint a fast as possible!!!! i know all this b/c DAVID MARSH COACHES ME AND I SWIM AT MAC (MECLENBURG AQUATIC CLUB) MANY OLYMPIANS HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!! AND BEEN COACHED THERE TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with this answer above. Pace yourself, IN THE BEGINNING. But TRY to go a little faster each 50. So i guess you start out kinda slow but by the end youre sprinting.

A submerged swim is any swim done under the surface of the water. During early dive training in a pool the students are often asked to do a submerged swim from one side to another and gradually, that same swim is from end to end (longer distance). The idea is to build lung capacity and stamina.
