My chihuahuas ears stood up but now after 3 weeks the one has dropped again… is it damaged? will it eventually stand up again?

Don't worry, the dogs ears will go up. During teething, some dogs' ears go down but if they already stood up previously I wouldn't worry. Just remember to keep the dog on a healthy nutritious diet. If they never stood up before and the parents had floppy ears then i'd be worried.

You don't have to tape them. Actually a lot of worried owners tape the ears and do more harm than good.. If they are floppy still at 7 months, I would talk to your breeder or vet about taping them.

When along the timeline of my chihuahuas pregnancy should her nipples bleed?
She is supposed to have her babies in about three days, and isn't leaking.

They usually fill up about 2-3 days prior to whelping. They really don't leak, per se, but they can have milk expressed. Keep watching.

I noticed a black spot on my chihuahuas molar and I want to know if this may be a cavity. If it is, will it be very costly to fix?

If you do not brush your dog's teeth daily and keep up with its dental hygiene, then no, it isn't unusual. The treatment is generally to remove the infected tooth in a dog. Rates vary by vet and whether it is done in conjunction with another procedure. Talk to your vet for an accurate quote.

There are so many breeders selling so called teacup dogs, but are they really a teacup size? Teacup dogs are dogs that are small enough to fit in a teacup, giving rise to the name. They are being bred smaller and smaller, because it is believed that is what people want. Puppies whose size has been intentionally reduced to fit into a teacup are prone to all sorts of health complications. Should we continue to reduce their sizes or just enjoy the miniature sizes that are available now.

Teacup puppies for sale

Often the term “teacup dog” is used as a marketing ploy to drive up the price of a puppy, as some people find the extremely small size desirable. The term teacup dog covers many varieties of miniature or toy breeds of dog.

Chihuahuas and Maltese are examples of toy dog breeds. There is no such thing as a “toy Chihuahua”, or “toy Maltese”. Chihuahuas and Maltese are already toy breeds so the term Toy Maltese is a misnomer and leads the buyer to believe they are getting something even smaller. The AKC standard for a toy breed is 6 lbs and under which, at the time of writing, would cover so-called teacup breeds. To say a dog is a teacup Chihuahua possibly suggests that its growth was stunted at birth and therefore have defects that may not be obvious when purchased.

Making the most of normal small breed dogs will give you more satisfaction than a dog that is not correctly bred.

Introduction of size breeding

Some dog breeds such as the Shi Tzu (Tibetan Temple Dog, Tibetan Lion Dog) have always been small while other breeds have been reduced from their standard size to miniature and toy.

Before and during the early part of the 19th century all dogs were working dogs to a certain degree. Breeding of dogs specifically for appearance was introduced in the mid 19th Century. Take for example the classic Poodle.

Poodles were used as a water fowling dog for many years until their size was reduced to allow them to become a housedog and reduced further to become a lap dog. Many people like the smaller breeds because they have a more genteel appearance. Breeds that are naturally small are fun but also very protective despite their size.

For many small breed owners, dressing their “babies” in cute clothes has become the latest trend. There is nothing wrong with that as long as the puppy is comfortable. Wearing a coat indoors may not be necessary and may make the puppy unnecessarily hot but the use of a jacket when outside may be beneficial in keeping a chill at bay, especially when they have been short groomed.

Maltese, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Miniature Pinscher, and Papillion’s are just some of the dogs that are ideal to wear clothes. There are all sorts of small dog clothing available and includes dog robes, dog raincoats, dog dresses and dog coats. There are even booties available to protect their tiny feet.

A large selection of clothes is available for smaller dogs. If you have a small, toy or even teacup dog, take the opportunity to see what is in fashion for small pooches.

Exceeding US$11.6 billion, private investment in Mexico’s tourism sector has already surpassed federal goals for the 2001 to 2006 period by 29 percent, reports Sectur in its latest comprehensive study on the subject. Domestic and foreign private investment reached the original US$9 billion goal in June 2005, after increasing at least 12 percent annually since 2002.

The report also shows that interest in Mexico’s famous beaches remains high, with the sun and beach segment outpacing all other tourism products by garnering 48 percent of private investment. Three coastal states also ranked in the top three in amount of private investment received: Guerrero State (US$2.63 billion), Quintana Roo State (US$2.47 billion) and Nayarit State (US$92.5 million) captured almost 52 percent of the total amount invested between 2001 and 2006.

Approximately 89 percent of private investment in Guerrero went to tried-and-true beach resort Acapulco on the Pacific Ocean, whereas 82 percent of the private investment Quintana Roo received was channeled to the Mexican Caribbean hot spots Cancun and Riviera Maya. More than 60 percent of Nayarit’s private investment went to the Pacific resort town of Nuevo Vallarta.

Rounding out the top Mexican five states receiving the highest amount of public investment are border states of Baja California (US$86.3 million) and Sonora (US$78.4 million). Together, the states on the U.S./Mexico border, which also include Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, received 19 percent of private investment in Mexico, ranking the region second overall.

Among the northern region’s major tourism attractions are Copper Canyon in Chihuahua; the La Quemada archaeological sites in Zacatecas; the bustling city of Monterrey in Nuevo Leon and 200,000-acre Cuatro Cienegas Valley in Coahuila. International sources account for 25 percent of all private investment, with the United States as the top foreign investor in Mexico’s tourism infrastructure.

Mexico has long been taking strategic steps to stimulate tourism and attract private investors through its National Trust Fund for Tourism Development, Fonatur. This government agency is responsible for conceiving, planning and building five sea-side tourism destinations – Cancun, Los Cabos, Ixtapa, Loreto and the Bays of Huatulco – since its 1974 inception.

These resorts areas generate 54 percent of foreign revenue entering the country from tourism and benefit from a master plan, urban-resort planning mechanisms, and annual construction programs and enforcement.

Because fomenting international tourism is a national priority for Mexico, the country’s regulatory framework legally protects foreign investors. Mexico allows foreign investors to have ownership in the majority of economic fields and activities, including real estate, allowing 100 percent participation in shared capital. Investors are also offered a profitability guarantee and investment security through Fonatur.

In addition to the ease of investing in Mexico, investors are also attracted by the security of investing in a proven destination: Mexico is the world’s seventh most-visited country and ranks 12th in terms of foreign revenue earnings from tourism; in both categories, it is the leader in Latin America.

Fonatur’s efforts have been recognized by industry organizations such as the Live in Spain association, which honored the agency with its development and promotion of residential tourism award during the 2006 edition of the Madrid Real Estate Exhibition.

About Fonatur

Created in 1974, Mexico’s National Trust Fund for Tourism Development (Fonatur) is the premier developer of integrally-planned tourism destinations in Mexico and has created such world-class resort areas as Cancun, Ixtapa, Loreto, Los Cabos and more recently, Huatulco. To diversify the nation’s tourism industry and give it a more competitive edge, Fonatur builds and promotes new tourist resorts that meet market demand and at the same time spur social change in different parts of the country. Fonatur often serves a joint venture partner for private investors who want to benefit from participation in Mexico’s high-quality tourism development programs.

I currently have two chihuahuas and I'm getting a kitten around the end of June, I'm wondering if they get along well so I can let the cat wander when it's older.
Should I introduce it slowly? My dogs have stayed at my grandma's house and she has two cats and she said they get along just fine

Depends on whether the dogs will accept a cat in 'their' territory. Depends if the cat will like the dogs, or vice versa.

i want a chihuahua but the chihuahuas i want that are healthy are all gone.

ALL the Chi's in this world that are healthy are 'gone'?? That's news to me!

Your first step is connect with your local Chi club and attend local events or ask the chair members for breeder referrals. At the breed events you will be able to meet lots of Chi's, lots of owners, and breeders. Ask tons of questions, ask people where they purchased their Chi and if they are happy with their decision. Your goal will be to locate a reputable and responsible breeder. Make sure they do all the breed specific health clearances and go from there!
