Where does it ask if I should breed my dog or not?????? Oh yeah no where. If you choose for me not to breed just move on to the next question. Thank you.

Again I asked a question and if you can't answer it then go to the next one and keep you mouths shut. I don't want to breed her alot and I want to do a lot of research before I do. I will be ready if she needs help or a vet. I looked for her for a long time even on pet finder and I still couldn't find one. So there aren't that many out there. And if they are in shelters then why aren't they on the internet? How are people sopposed to find them?

I don't agree that you should breed your dog unless you have people picked out ot be owners as so many normal dogs a year get put to sleep. Keep in mind it takes a year off a female dog's life for every set of puppies.
However the best place would be to a local kennel club and ask for the listing of the male winners for the last conformation show. These will be some of the best dogs of that breed and the people who own them will be more then happy to help you with breeding, as well as what would be the best.
Good luck with your dog.

First of all she should be at least 2 years of age before you breed her, has she had a health check and been cleared for breeding, eyes checked, What is ACA reg????? The only registration that means jack is AKC Never heard of that one ACA probley one of those (I will take your money and give you papers place) these papers mean nothing mostly used by puppy mills also means you can not show your dog so she has no championships!!! Please spay your pet and do not become a back yard breeder
Check again I just did a search and came up with over 150 different places that have puppy avalible TRY AGAIN!!! and by the way they where accually AKC reg not some fly by night registation

Please get her spayed and don't breed her. ACA is not a legitimate registry, but one used by puppy mills. No legitimate owner of a stud should breed to her. To be bred, she needs to be AKC registered and shown to championship and checked and cleared by a vet for any genetic defects.
Why I am so passionate about this is because chihuahuas are being rapidly overbred. Right now there are 43 chihuahuas in our county shelter and they are euthanizing small dogs every day because there are not enough homes for all of them. It is so bad, the animal control officers have animals waiting in the truck until they can euthanize animals to make room and they have up to 5 to a kennel. I work with a humane society and the vet from the county shelter told me this story this very week. It is happening all over. Look on petfinder.com and you'll see it yourself. Tons of chihuahuas without homes.
Sorry to be brutal but we just don't need any more backyard chihuahua breeders.
RESPONSE TO ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
I went on www.petfinder.com and found over 125 chihuahuas available for adoption in the state of Missouri alone. I'm sure that's just a fraction of the number available since not all shelters post there. Yes, please do your research and you'll find out you shouldn't be breeding your dog.

You don't!!!!!! Go to the Shelters and look at the poor unwanted animals in ther! I have a over 50 small dogs that come from a breeder like you that does not know what and how to do something!!! So Stop right now GO TO THE VET AND GET HER FIXED IF YOU LOVE HER YOU WILL.
She is way to little anyways! If you get her fix the chances of her getting deadly cancers or lowered!
Stop bring unwanted animal up in this world! I cannot take it

I think some people protest so much because back-yard breeders take away business from legitimate AKC breeders. If you ppl can't be nice and give a person a decent answer that just move on... it's dishearting to hear your negativity all the time.
I think if you want to breed your chihuahua, talk to your vet about it. Get all the facts and don't plan to SELL the puppies. Give them away.
It's YOUR business what you want to do with your dog!
Good luck.

You don't. You cannot breed, you are not a breeder, and your dog is not a good candidate.
One year old is too young, and the ACA is a crap registry.
Seriously, please have her spayed, you do not know what you are doing and she could very easily DIE during ANY period of the process, especially the whelping!!!!!!!!!!

Please do not breed your animal. Spay her now - and look at all the unwanted dogs at your humane society, including chihuahuas. She does not need to have one litter to be a good pet, or healthy. She will be healthier and live longer if she is spayed. Ask your vet.

do you know what exactly you are looking for???
The wrong size male could produce large pups and either cause a c-section and/or kill the mom???
do you realize they often need c-sections during birth???
do you know what to do if mom doesn't take care of the pups on her own during birth --- this happens often??

You could find one on the internet they will probably ask you
how far away from your house you need it to be and still be able to travel not as far.
