hello

im looking into getting a Chihuahua smooth coat,the litters are due to be born this week and another in 2 weeks time ,The breeder dose shows so i have to phone in a month time as she not sure which ones she are keeping yet but im just doing research at the moment.

1) what injections do they need and how much?
2) Where the best place to get insurance?
3) what other health thing do i need to make sure he or she has?
4) And can a pup who has not had all it injections stay at my parents house wheres theres another Chihuahua dog there who has?

i hope someone can answer my questions and a big thankyou to all that helps

No one seems to have answered yr questions, so I'll have a go, altho' Chis are not my breed:

1. Ask your Vet. Pups usually have 2 initial innocuations
2. Pet plan seems to be the most popular choice. have a look at this forum - loads of discussion on insurance recently.
3. Don't know of any other health things for Chis - again ask yr vet or contact your breeder. If the breeder isn't helpful, go elsewhere. Oh, worming is important - breeder should tell you how & when.
make sure you've got some of the same food the breeder had the pups on - don't change food suddenly.
4. Your pup can go & stay in house with another dog, but it's not really advisable. Depends on circs really, but if the older one goes out & about, he could bring an infection back, without showing signs of having it himself (he will be immune). Anyone who already has a dog is taking the same risk if they bring a puppy home.

Have you tried asking yr breeder these things? I'd be a little concerned that she is having 2 litters so close together, but then Chis do have smallish litters & maybe she has a good reason for doing so. BUT if she doesn't want to answer yr questions, warning bells should start ringing.

hi

thanks for your reply, infact i didnt get a pup in the end i got a 8 month old girl called minnie , she cream all over apart from where hers eyes are they look like a clown.
She is suppose to be a show dog but i cant see it, she dose not like sleeping on her own yet so we had her in the bedroom last night(first night) and she always cries for me even if im in the next room.
I dont know if im suppose to feels like this but i feel guity for taking her away from her home where she had a mum and sister and brother and 10 other dogs around her?
Have i done the right thing as all i want to do is cry

thanks for replying anyway
