Awww Purrley, I don't blame you for being dissapointed. I know long-hair chihuahuas sell for $600.00, and some Buffy's size (which they consider teacup) sell for as much as $800.00. I was really lucky since my sister owns Buffy's Mom and I bought her for my daughter for $100.00. I would not have paid more than $300.00 for a dog since there are so many at the pound that need a home. I will be breeding Buffy and Tobi in about 6-8 months. Tobi is pure-breed (I even have his AKA papers) and so is Buffy's Mom. I just haven't filed them because to me the papers are not really important. I'm not a breeder and I don't believe in breeding for a profit nor unneccesary litters. I will be breeding Buffy and Tobi because WE want those puppies. They will probably be white or creme (Buffy's dad is pitch black and her mom and is light blonde and look how she came out). Plus, their personalities would only bring out the best in the breed. Also, my daughter wants a playmate for Buffy and I want another chihuahua in my home. If she has more than three (which she may since her Mom had 7) I will let you know. Any remaining puppies I would sell, but probably for $100.00 - $200.00 or so, just enough to cover the vaccines and vet visits. I don't think anyone should profit from breedings; instead, people should be more concerned about the quality of life they'll have and who will be taking care of them. Hang in there....there's a Chi waiting for you somewhere and you too will connect. I'll put a few more pictures of Buffy when she was little to cheer you up in a few minutes.
