Chihuahua

im adopting a chihuahua and im going to b feeding it blue buffalo. it says to feed it once a day but i heard chihuahuas need small frequent meals compared to one big meal because of hypoglycermia. im so confused!!

I have a chihuahua puppy. I just recently found out he’s 9 weeks and 4 days today, so when I said 10 weeks I was a little off. Anyways, he’s a serious biter, as I know all puppies are. Well, everytime he bites me, I try the "AAH-AAT!" growl thing. I put him down and walk away. I flick his nose. I mean, all my training research has worked on every other dog I’ve trained. This puppy just goes against everything I’ve learned. It makes my head hurt. I had a chihuahua before, but he got small dog syndrome and was a demon dog to anyone he didn’t know. I don’t want this puppy to turn out like that. I know that’s the usual for chihuahuas, I was just wondering if there’s anything I could do.

PS: I’m not a professional dog trainer, but I am learning to be one.

My dog, and best friend, passed away a week ago and I am planning on adding a new companion to my household. It has been pretty quiet and the silence is maddening; I need someone to love.

I have been researching breeds and have decided to get a Pomeranian. I am looking specifically for a male and AKC registered (I do not want a puppy mill pup!). I live in a small town and we rarely ever have pure breed Pomeranian puppies being sold, so I have looked to the bigger cities and I am dumbfounded.

I am trying to find a reputable breeder, but honestly I am quite nervous acquiring online. Its confusing and scary! The last thing I want is for someone to run off with my money. This is why I am looking for someone who is paypal verified.

This breeder is paypal verified, the puppies are AKC registered, they come with a 6 month hereditary health guarantee, and her contract stipulates that she does not cover parvo, coccidia, or giardia – actually most breeders do not cover this at all, even reputable ones!

Here is the link:
debspompoms.com – I am planning on reserving a male pom from her

Here is another link for another breed (long hair Chihuahua):
longcoat-chihuahuas.com – I am still thinking about this one

Which one do you prefer? Which one is more reputable in your eyes.

www.chihuahua-land.com Bitsy (Tan Female) is one year old (2 in this video. She is 3lbs 3oz. She is very sweet. Godzilla (Chocolate Male) is just under one year (07/27/07).Chihuahua-Land raises happy and healthy Chihuahua puppies from happy and healthy Chihuahua parents. We only breed Chihuahuas. Smoothcoat and Longcoat. Btw: It’s CHIHUAHUA, not Chiwawa, not Chiwawas or chiuauas! It’s Chihuahuas!

I’m interested in buying a male doberman very soon… just have a couple of questions lol.

how big is their poop? and i’m talking about poo coming out from a full grown doberman.
i know you might find this question kinda odd… but ive been raising only chihuahuas for the past 10 years so im used to seeing waste the size of my middle finger lol

and ive heard they can be quite high jumpers.
the gate that surrounds our house and lawn is approximately 4 ft and 8 inches in height. Do you think this is sufficient enough? The doberman will be raised inside the house until about 6 months of age.

also… i own a 5 year old female chihuahua right now… how should i introduce them? i’m assuming a doberman pup (approx 8weeks) will be bigger than her? chihuahuas have a sort of "clannish" behavior…they seem to like their own breed better than others. i had no problem introducing her to other chihuahuas, but my little cousin brought over his baby rat terrier/chi and that didnt go too well…
and do they shed alot
New Yorker: honestly, don’t ever publicly judge someone and ask them if they are ready to make a commitment or not, especially if that person has owned dogs because that in my book is just rude.
you people have this stupid mentality that chihuahuas are rats that yap all day long and you can keep them cooped up in a small crowded apartment and not have them exercised. well your wrong. i go our running with my dog daily for an hour. i’ve raised 7 chihuahuas over the past 10 years and i have volunteered at an animal shelter and aquarium for 4 years encountering MANY animals of MANY sizes. i think i have a pretty good knowledge what dedication and commitment is whatever the size or breed the dog may be.

Pixie, Daphne, and Duchess are all just romping around the yard puppy style! They are 8 weeks old and have all been adopted!

Is it best to crate-train (litterbox) them together in the same crate/same litterbox? At the same time? One at a time? (take them out one at a time to their potty-place, or at the same time?)
I know a crate should be "large enough for a dog to stand up and turn around in", but what about with TWO chihuahuas? "Twice" as large? Slightly larger? Size recommendations?
Thanks
