I know the cost of a purebred chihuahuas has probably increased with the appearance of the tacobell dog a few years ago and Paris Hilton using them as a statis symbol. But when you want one just to love and hug, Just for a pet why do you have to go into debt? Pet quality non-breeding (spayed and neutered) chihuahuas are no better than a mutt, really. I am just curious. I will probably go to the local humane society and adopt a small cute dog. It is just that there was always a chihuahuas around when I was growing up and I thought I’d like to have one now. But I can’t go into that much debt.
I have learned (in Canada) most breeders spay or neuter the chihuahuas before selling them and they are still asking from $1200.00 to $2000.00. I have contacted 2 Rescue Shelters and they are selling these chihuahuas for $1200.00. I am not looking for a show quality dog. I am looking for a pet. Only a pet. I do not want to mortgage my house either. For the price breeders are asking for a “fixed” dog is rediculous. I mean they are no longer show quality. They can not be used for breeding. There valu other than a statis symbol is “0″. I am not looking for a statis symbol. or a shiny object to place on my finger. I just want a pet. Chihuahuas were a family pet when I was growing up. I can tell you we paid no more that $200.00 then. I just find this pricing for a dog you just want to love is silly.
I agree. If these dogs are show quality dogs then ask the $1200 to $2000 price.

But once you spay or neuter them (most breeders in Canada seem to do this) there is no monitary value left for the dog. It is just a fixed dog. Worthless.

I am not saying that it isn’t difficult to breed these little guys. And I don’t care that you spay or neuter them. I don’t mind reimbursing the breeder for the neutering, and first shots and a little something extra for actually breeding the pup. But to ask $1200.00 for a non-breeding, unshowable dog is …. well just crazy. I don’t mean to argue the point. But as yet I haven’t seen an answer that best answers my question. Why are breeders asking $1200.00 to $2000.00 for a non-breeding already spayed/neutered, unshowable dog?

My chihuahua is very playful and active, he loves to run around the house and play with his toys. If i neuter him is his temperment going to change? will he just wanna lay around the house all the time and be lazy? Also, Is it bad to neuter your pup before he is 1 year old….ive heard mixed things.

My Chihuahua/Min Pin keeps lifting up his hind leg. He’s not in pain or anything he just lifts it up sometimes. He does it when he’s running and when he’s just standing. My mother said that that’s just what chihuahuas do and I wasn’t sure. Like I said he’s not in pain but he’s doing it more and more often.

We recently aquired a female chihuahua and at first they were really wary of each other. Now they fight and play and he is always trying to hump her but we have not seen them actually doing it yet. We are hoping they will mate. They have become accustomed to each other and will now curl up together to sleep but I have not been able to tell if they have “done the deed” yet. Should I just take her to the vet and have her examined? How can I tell she was in heat and has been impregnanted?

Can chihuahuas be cared for in a townhouse in Southern California? Baby chihuahuas? Adult chihuahuas? And can I have information about chihuahuas?

I have a chihuahua, and whenever he barks, he always spins around in a circle while doing it. I’m not sure if he’s mentally retarted, or if that’s just what chiuhuahuas do. But I think i’ve seen other chihuahuas do that too. If you have a chihuahua and know why they do this, please tell me why.
