Question

can u give me some dog breeds of dogs that dont grow bigger than chiwawas? please! =)

Answer 1

Chihuahuas are the only naturally small breed there is, but there are Poodles and Yorkies that are every bit as small as a Chihuahua. The one thing about the other breeds is the grooming that is required. Poodles and Yorkies do not shed, but they must be brushed daily to avoid matting of the hair, or if you do not want to have to brush frequently, then you can get their coats clipped short. That needs to be done every 4-8 weeks, depending on how quickly the individual dog's hair grows. A Chihuahua obviously never needs the hair to be trimmed, but it does shed. This can be minimized by brushing a few times a week.

The thing you must remember is that tiny dogs are very easily injured, the smaller the dog, the easier it is to injure. With a tiny dog, the inclination is to carry it all the time, but this is not good for the health of the dog's skeletal structure. They need to do a good amount of running and playing to keep their bones strong. At the same time, an exceptionally small dog must NOT be allowed to jump down off of the furniture as they will most likely break a leg. This is JUST an estimate, but teeny-tiny dogs should not be allowed to jump from a height of more than twice their own height (at the shoulder) at the most. Teeny-tiny females should NOT be bred as it is life threatening. Small dogs get cold very easily as they have no body mass so to speak, so sweaters and coats will be needed to keep your teeny warm. Pocket puppies are a lot of fun, but they are very delicate and require great care, so do your homework before you give your heart to one of these dainties.

The "teacup" is not a standard size, it is a fiction created as a sales pitch. Anyone who insists that the term teacup is a recognized standard size, either does not know what they talking about, or is unethical. "Toy" is the smallest recognized size.

Answer 2

Well "Chihuahuas" are one of the smallest breeds. But if you just want a small dog, look for teacup breeds. Teacup poodle, Teacup yorkie, Teacup dachshund, etc. Yorkshire terriers are the second smallest next to Chihuahuas, but the smallest you will get is teacup chihuahua.

Answer 3

"Teacup" anything is just a poorly bred dog. Usually will have health problems so be careful. Even Chihuahuas can be 10-12 lb and still purebred, just not show standards.
If you truelly want a small dog, adopt an adult so your sure what you end up with.
