Ryleigh and her real brother Beethoven. Beethoven was the first born of four in Ryleigh's litter, she was the last. He is now 6+ pounds and she is 3.25

Holy cow! That is a great photo, I am so glad you can keep in touch with other members of her litter.

Holy.....(cow is better than what I actually said). So who is the "average" size here? Is Ryleigh teeny or is Beethoven large? Beethoven looks like he might be bigger than Chopper too.
No matter the size difference, they are still just as adorable as ever!!

I can't get over it. I keep going back to look at the picture.

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

lol....well as far as AKC is concerned 2-6 pounds is where a chi should be weight wise. Chopper is 4.5 pounds so yes he is bigger than Chopper too. He is actually bigger than his mother and his father. One of my online friends has a chi that is 16 pounds Most of the ones I run across are probably closer to 4-7 pounds. At this time he falls in the "average" for what I have seen in person or on the chi forums but he still has a lot of growing. A chi is usually done growing length and height wise somewhere between 6-8 months but then they fill out, plus once they are fixed they could put on a little more weight. Ryleigh still has some growing to do. I am thinking she will probably end up about 4-4.5 pound range.

So, did they play and romp together? Was Chopper with? Where are THOSE photos??

(Sorry, I'm never satisfied, lol)

LOL. Yes Ryleigh kicks her brother's butt believe it or not. Chopper was there, no he did not play, he likes to sit right by mommy on the arm of the couch and stares at me to be sure I don't bring home any more babies If someone else comes and sits in my lap he won't even look at me. He is so rotten. The breeder took this photo, I left my camera home....I know shame on me.

Too Cute & Adorable they both are.. WoW he is so much bigger than her.. Will she get any bigger??

[cassiesmom]

Miss Ryleigh! You are just so petite and sweet! I enjoyed meeting your brother today and as always, seeing sweet YOU again!!

[vinjashira]

how nice of Ryleigh to be able to see her brother again

I saw Beverly Hills Chihuahua the other night and thought of your chihuahuas

Chihuahuas may be small but they are mighty

[k9krazee]

Oh how cute!!

Isn't it weird how much sibling size can vary? Kyra is about 1/3 the size of her siblings.

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

It is amazing who much they can vary in size. I look at this picture and think, if I had not seen for myself that they were related as newborns I would have nerve believed they were related now.

[Pam]

Holy cow is right! I would have never guessed they were littermates! What cuties - both of them!

If someone else comes and sits in my lap he won't even look at me.

LOL! Ripley does that when Andy is on my lap. It's almost like he can't stand the thought of someone else being there so if he can't see it, it isn't happening. LOL! Chopper sweetie, just remember you have a home up here in NJ any time the *aboose* gets to be too much.

[lute]

Adorable! That's what they get for naming their Chihuahua after a St. Bernard!

[Daisy and Delilah]

OMG!!! What a difference. They have similar faces but they're not even close in size. Daisy is just under 6 pounds but Delilah is about 15 pounds. I've read that she's an "oversized" Chihuahua. I'm amazed that there's such a drastic difference in the same litter.

When I hold Daisy, Delilah will hardly look at me. If she does, it's a hurt or dirty look. I can't please everybody all the time

[Husky_mom]

super cute!!!... they do look alike.. but like father and daughter.. LOL... big or small Chi´s are soo cute!!!!

Ryleigh´s face is like... are you sure he´s my brother??
