Could there be problems or dangers in breeding my female tiny toy chihuahua?

Answer 1

My girl friend breeds tiny Chihuahuas, They All have to be delivered by C-section. When she breeds her females, she just sets the date with the vet. .She has it done in the next town where it is cheaper, and costs her $500-600 per litter..Plus she usually has to take off work to hand feed them for first 5 or 6 days.

Answer 2

well if you mean by her being a tiny toy chihuahua that she's abnormally small. then yes there could be major problems. if she's been shown and conforms to breed standard and is a good representative of the breed then no. but you probably wouldn't be asking this question here if she were. so no, don't breed your dog. there are enough inexperienced chihuahua breeders trying to make a buck by calling them tiny toy or teacup chihuahua's in this world. do what's right for your dog and her health, have her spayed.

Answer 3

well first THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TINY TOY CHIHUAHUA. Chihuahuas are toy breeds. Do not breed an extra small dog.
A must read
http://www.meetgypsy.com/teacup_myth.html
Extra small dogs are almost sickly because of being bred so small.
Here are health problems that "teacup" bred dogs can get
Irresponsible breeders often breed these tiny, sickly dogs
because the public likes TINY dogs. Look at the AKC website for breed standards. The breeders
who call genetically-flawed tiny dogs imperials, miniatures, tea cups, pocket puppies, or anything of
that nature, are just playing on the public's love of tiny things. And if you decide to buy one, you
better have a lot of money ready for your veterinarian. Not only are they over priced, as
breeders know they can sell them for much more by calling them these cute names, the puppies
are prone to health problems, including suppressed immune systems (meaning they get sick easily
and are prone to severe allergy symptoms), brittle bones, hydrocephalus (water on the brain), open
fontanel (soft spot), subluxation of the patella (slipping kneecaps), heart murmurs, cleft palate,
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), low tolerance of anesthesia, & appetite loss, that can lead to more
serious illnesses. This is because most dogs this size are a result of bad breeding, inbreeding, or
illness or injury prior to maturity.

Answer 4

How much does she weigh? You should not breed her if she is under 4 lb.And the male should be smaller. Chihuahuas often need c-sections and that usually means a late night trip to the emergency vet, with a bill over $100. Better save you money.

Answer 5

Yes, many.
Leave breeding to the professionals please. Chis should not be smaller than 4 pounds, but not to exceed 6 pounds.

Ignorant people are breeding Chis in to munchkin, toy, and teacup chis, which is so pathetic, becuse the Chihuahua is already small enough.

If you breed your tiny Chi, there most definitely WILL be complications.
Just enjoy your dog as she is.

Answer 6

YES . Take her to the vet and talk to them about your intentions . They'll go over the facts with you . Is she to old, to young , not a good choice for breeder do to genetics ( bad hips , deformities , etc ) . I have bred many types of dogs over the years and will tell you now don't go lightly into this because you have a lot of responsibility here . Shots, dew claw removal, dewormming , getting them good homes , and follow up to see the new owners don't just dump them or neglect them . There is a lot to do and think about .!!!!!!

Answer 7

She might have to have a C-section. She could also die while in labor if she is too little. They recomend not breeding a female under 5 pounds...Ask your vet. they will know the most.

Answer 8

yes.....especially with another toy.....hehehe
