Hi,
I got a Male chihuahua from a breeder almost 1 year ago. He weight 11 lbs and he as no fat at all. I tought Male Chihuahua was normaly 8 to 9 lbs MAX.
And more...
His ears are not completly pointing UP and is Bottom JAW is OVER is Upper Jaw.. Weird?
Do you think it's a 100% male chihuahua????:confused:
Thank you
There is the picture of his parents
Well this is what the breeder told me hehe :-)
The father weight: 8 lbs
and the mother 4 or 5lbs
Having an overbite is not uncommon in Chihuahuas. And he looks like a Chi to me ... some dogs of any breed end up above the standard size/weight, I wouldn't worry about it as long as he's healthy, and you don't plan to show him - that's the only people who care about size, really! Judges!
he looks fine to me and just like a chi. he is such a cutie too! :) hope to see more pics
ps~welcome to pet talk :D
Thank you both!
I'm glad he looks normal and even if he wasn't, I would always love him anyway :D
but at last he as a avantage of the other chihuahua I saw, he have bigger bones compare to the average so, he is less fragile and very strong for is size.
:D
Bye bye
yeah, i think its great for little dogs to not look so frail...like some chi's i've seen look like the wind could knock them down :p no offense to chi's, but i have seen some that way :D
Taco looks absolutely adorable to me!
I've know a few Chi's in my time some have been really small teacup size and some have a little on the big side.... all have been exceptionally cute and loving!
Taco, what a cute boy you are!
Hey Silencex, welcom to Pet Talk. I know that you will enjoy the baord. There are plenty of nice people and there is plenty of info. here. So welcome aboard!:)
I beleive your boy looks just fine. I mean he has some of the same traits my boy has(Cisco). Cisco's ears don't always stand up like they should and he has a bit of an underbite. Either of these traits would disqualify him from the show ring, but I'm not interested in showing or breeding him I just wanted a pet. These traits could be from his breeding or just from his genetics. He is a very intelligent, obedient, lovable little boy. And this is all that matters to me! I believe you have a handsome boy and like you said you will always love him anyway.:) :D
I agree too, he is adorable. :D
wow thank you all!!
This is a very friendly board as I can see. It's great to see so much nice peoples around here :)
PS: Cisco's Mom, Do you have any bigger picture of your dog? is it him on the small picture??
:)
Chis vary so much, i have 4 girl chihuahuas, they are all fully grown, Sully is now 8lb Penny rescue weighs 3-3'5 kilo, Fynn weighs 1-2 kilo, Rosie rescue weighs 1-3 kilo.:)
Hey Silencex, sorry I just got back to this post. That is a pic of my boy under my name. Here is a link to his photo album. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
