About Chihuahua

The Chihuahua is considered the smallest dog breed in the world and bears the name of the largest state in the Republic of Mexico (Chihuahua). It is thought that this dog once lived in the wild and was captured and tamed by the natives at the time of the Toltec civilization. Some representations of a small dog called “ Techichi ” who lived in the Tula region were used in the decoration of architectural elements of this city. These statues closely resemble today’s Chihuahuas

DAILY CARE

We recommend that you do not immediately give the puppy any type of bath or sponging until he has completed the main vaccination cycle, which will take place around the third month of age. Common sense, however, requires caution and above all consult your breeder or veterinarian in case there are particular situations that require different treatments.

We recommend that you continue to feed it with the same food used in the breeding (in our case, upon delivery of the puppy, you will receive a kit for the puppy). Bowls for water and baby food : provide "anti-tip" bowls for puppies, preferably in easily sanitized material

GROOMING

Nail clippers (for Chihuahuas cats are suitable), wet wipes for puppy hygiene (to be used at least until it is possible to give him the first bath), a small and soft brush, a delicate pesticide for puppies (always ask the one used in breeding is certainly the most tested and indicated for your Chihuahino

DOES THE CHARACTER GO ACCORDING TO THE SEX OF THE DOG?

DOES CHIHUAHUA TOY EXIST?

No, the chihuahua toy does not exist! Unfortunately, the term TOY is used by traders to sell a puppy (most of the cases then these puppies are 5 kg, therefore not belonging to the chihuahua standard). In the Chihuahua there is a single standard so it has no other categories that belong to it, both in terms of weight and other terminologies, such as “deer head”… it Chihuahua standard recognizes only one type of "apple head" head. To be as clear as possible we will take the example of the toy poodle, the term toy comes used as there is a larger standard which is that of the bum, so for to identify them they used different terms, for different standards, and weights too different. In the Chihuahua the difference in weight from one another can be di ect, not kg, therefore let's talk about a minimal difference!
