What is the best age to breed my chihuahua?

Question

I have a 2 lb 2 oz, female, teacup chihuahua. What is a safe age to breed her. And should I let her go the studs' house or should the stud come to my house or what? How many puppies is she likely to have, any idea? Thanks

Answer 1

Actually no age is good. Here is some info in case you are not aware of the facts.
Are you not aware that there are 15 dogs born for every one human? http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.cause&cgid=1&rgid=2&stid=10

Are you not aware that there are millions of dogs killed every year because of not enough homes? http://www.jour.unr.edu/outpost/voices/voi.valdyke.animal.html

Are you not aware that only 1 dog in 10 gets a permanent home? www.safehavenforcats.com/main.htm

Are you not aware that one female and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in just six years? http://www.metroplexanimalcoalition.com/SpayNeuter/didyouknow.html

That coupled with the health benefits of spay/neuter WHY would you breed your dog? www.sniksnak.com/benefits.html

Answer 2

After her third heat before she is six years old only if she has excellent health, pedigree, and weighs five ponds and the male is smaller and has an excellent standard formation and equal or better formation and information. Both my Chi's are pure bred rescues with excellent conformation and health. They came with their vaccinations and health checks and micro chips. Spayed and neutered and they are loving loyal pets. I had to pick mine from hundreds. They each cost less the annual shots, neutering and spaying and the micro chips. Please do not breed your pet. There are hundreds to pick from in every county in all 50 states. Go get the size and color you want at any small dog or Chi Rescue. They live nearly twenty years. My Chi's are arranged for in my will as they will probably both outlive my life expectations. I have had 12 Chi's, two at a time in 56 years. The Chi's I have now, the male is 6 1/2 the female 26 months.

Answer 3

Please dont breed your dog. She is small, im sure, but lets all realize that there are actually no such thing as a teacup anything. They are just tiny dogs that have been bred and bred to death to be that small and it doesnt make for a good dog, healthwise that is. There are just too many homeless, abused and neglected dogs in the world becuz people want to breed their digs cuz its cute or they are just plain irresponsible. Chihuahuas are notorious for having difficult births becuz of their size. Are you prepared for the enormous cost of a c-section and all the care this involves? I doubt it. Please dont breed your dog. Have her spayed and let her live out a nice happy and healthy life.

Answer 4

Actually, there is no such thing as a teacup Chihuahua.
Please do some reading and study before you attempt
any thing with your dog.
You may have a real small dog, which I bet she is really adorable, however there is no such true breed as a teacup Chihuahua. Some breeders call them that just to make a few more dollars.
I own two Chihuahua's and love em to death, Good luck with your little girl * smile*

Answer 5

No good age. Please spay it.You obviously know not a thing about it. I know your dog is not of breeding quality as there is no such thing I've been told as a teacup. They are just ones that are too small to fall within breed standards and sell better when you call them teacups when they are actually just bad reps of the breed. Maybe you don't even know that.Keep the stud where he is.You are only contributing to the killing of dogs daily.As long as there is one left standing on death road there is no need to breed!It is very irresponsible .

Answer 6

With any breed of dog you are better off waiting until she is at least 2 yrs of age. I personally rather have the stud at my house, rather than my dog going to thier house.

Answer 7

You should wait at leat till the age of 2 or 3.

Answer 8

Never, there are already many registered breeders out there, dont add to the shelters numbers. You obviously dont the first thing about breeding

Answer 9

if you really want to breed it i would say about 3 years. 1 year is too early and some mothers give up because they are too young. she will probably have around 5-7 puppies.

Answer 10

if you have to ask all of these questions, you shouldn't be breeding her. do your research, get your dog proven does your dog have show titles, does it meet breed standards and on and on and on.....are you willing to shell out $1000's of dollars on a pregnancy, not to recoup any of it?
