chihuahuas

North West GSD Fun Club

holly, tommy, lilly and dolly are long coat chihuahuas. our daughters have been besotted with this breed for a long time and we made them read and learn all the pitfalls of owning such a small breed. the novelty didn't wear off so we felt they was ready to take on the commitment with our support..

holly
holly has an excellent coat with strong red and fawn pigment and overall is a very pretty girl.  although holly is not the smallest chihuahua in the world, she is extremely HEALTHY, her conformaton is good and she has a wonderfull apple dome head, great ear placement and perfect bite.  her temperament is fantastic and she enjoys the company of our children (even the little one) and our other dogs. she is a super companion, making friends with the cats and even venturing to play with our new born kid goat.

wee tommy bubbles - always at your ankles
wee tommy arrived, aged 10 weeks and weighing under two and a half pounds. a tiny little bundle of dynamite and most certainly all dog. he is a fantastic specimen with a perfect domed head, excellent ear placement and again a perfect scissor bite. his colouring is a most unusual blue/black and tan and he has the most fantastic paces and natural tail carriage. Tommy, now full grown weighs in at a healthy 4lb 10oz, he is proving to be an excellent stud and has sired his second stunning little litter.

great care is taken with the chi's around our younger children and other dogs because they are so small. they are never allowed to run freely with all our bigger dogs and are never with the smaller of our children without an adult supervising. we have several small crates placed around the house so they has somewhere to go if they are feeling overwhelmed. this can be quite demanding so i would never recommend that anyone with small children take on such a small pet unless they can be on hand 24/7.

for those of you interested in obtaining a chihuahua please be aware - there is no such thing as a 'teacup' chihuahua, this is usually a term employed by those who do not know the breed and use the term to lure people into buying something 'special'. All chihuahua's are small, they are a toy breed afterall, but as with any breed of dog you will get variations in size.

good practice and experience suggest that you do not buy from someone who has limited experience in the breed. know what you are getting into - google the 'chihuahua' to get as much information as you can. as we always advise, buy from reputable breeders who will stand over their puppies.
