| Information Things to Remember... |

| Things to Remember... 1.) When you bring your new puppy home, make sure you do not take him or her around other dogs or out of your yard until at least their first set of shots are given. When the pup leaves it's mom, it becomes more vulnerable to diseases. 2.) Keep food and water available at all times until pup is at least 12 weeks old. Then feed 2 to 3 times daily. 3.) If you don't want your new baby to sleep with you, don't start! Give him or her a bed of their own. 4.) If you want a "car dog" start early with short trips. Later you can increase how long they are in the car with you. .5.) If the pup is listless and won't eat, please give it a little a Karo syrup. This will bring up it's electrolytes and sugar levels. If this continues for more than a day, take the pup to the Vet immediately! Small pups dehydrate fast and could die very quickly! 6.) And last, but not least, Give the new "baby" lots of attention and love !!! |

| Some interesting Facts about Chihuahuas.... Coat Color: The chihuahua can be any color or color pattern. Many people think of the chihuahua as having only tan variations. This is simply not true! Chihuahuas can be any color seen in canines. From chocolate to blue to merl patterns, all are acceptable for breeding or showing. (AKC Standards) Size: There is a lot of controversy about size. Size can range from 3lbs to a whopping 14 lbs! As a breeder and lover of chihuahuas, I prefer dogs weighing 5 to 8 lbs. Chihuahuas smaller than this are sometimes unhealthy and absolutely must not be bred! I can not stress it enough, do not breed a dog under 5 lbs! AKC standards are under 6 lbs for showing in the ring. No matter what the color or size, chihuahuas are a joy to share your love and your life with. |
