Below
are some questions we have received regarding our Chihuahuas and the
breed in general. I hope these will answer your questions but if not,
contact us and we'll do our best to help you out.
Do Chihuahuas get along with children?
Chihuahua
dogs are very loving around kids. However, we don't recommend leaving
the dog alone with children under the age of six unless closely
supervised. Due to the unique size of the breed they can easily become
injured.
What is the Chihuahua's behavior around other breeds?
A
Chihuahua puppy adapts to other breeds very quickly. It requires a very
short amount of time to socialize and get used to other dogs in the
house. However, it is wise for an adult to supervise the animals, when
together, until they feel comfortable with one another.
How often do I bathe my new Chihuahua puppy?
It
depends on the weather and also on the schedule you want your dog to
get used to. We recommend once a month. It is not recommended for any
breed of dog to be bathed and then go outdoors in cold weather.
What is Hypoglycemia? Low blood sugar
What does purebred mean?
Purebred animals start by being registered by an animal registration
organization. Please don't be fooled by false adds that sound to good
to be true. At V.I.P Chihuahuas all puppies are AKC registered. At the
time of the final sale you will get registration documentation within
90 days of your puppy's delivery. We guarantee an AKC registered
Chihuahua puppy at time of sale.
What is a Teacup Chihuahua?
The
term teacup is utilize by different people to describe the size of the
smallest dog in a litter. The term (Teacup) has been utilized for many
years now. The term is not recognized by any reputable kennel club.
The American Kennel Club does not credit or recognize this term.
Does V.I.P. Chihuahuas use the term Teacup?
V.I.P.
Chihuahua do not use the term Teacup although many friendly customers
do bring the term up to describe what size of puppy they are looking
for. The term "Super Ultra Tiny" is only used internally within our
web site to describe to our visitors the size of a particular puppy.
What should I feed my new puppy? It
is recommended to start with small puppy breed dry food. You can buy a
brand named Maximum Nutrition sold at Walmart Eukanuba or Science Diet
are also recommended and can be found in many pet stores.
How much will my puppy weight fully grown?
Purebred Chihuahuas never weigh more then six pounds fully grown.
However, a lot depends on the way you feed your new puppy. It is
important to feed your pup twice a day and monitor his or her weight.
Never feed table food. |
