I am thinking about purchasing a chihuahua, 4 months old. The woman I'm buying him from originally bought him to keep her 2 year-old chi company, but the older chi just doesn't get along with the younger, so now she has to get rid of the younger. The lady said he currently weighs 2 and a half pounds. Both the puppy's parents are said to be purebred chihuahuas, mother is 4 and a half pounds (chocolate/tan longcoat), father is 3 and a half pounds (white/black short coat). When I asked about registry, the lady said that the puppy was registered with the CKC, which isn't as good as the AKC but she was only looking for pet quality, not show quality. But if both the puppy's parents were "purebred", doesn't this mean they should be AKC registered? Should I be bothered that this puppy doesn't qualify for AKC, or is it okay if I'm not planning on breeding or showing? Is the $350 asking price reasonable for this puppy?
