Listen, you don't have to explain yourself to people, but it sucks that people automatically assume that you are a puppy mill breeder, when you are not and you have a champion dog.
tinkerbell won't come into season??? is she spayed?????
good luck
i'd love to see a pic of your dog!

Tell your mom to take the advice of a knowledgeable chihuahua breeder and spay her dog. Your mother has two options: 1.) Spay her and kill the unborn puppies. 2.) Let her whelp and die in labor, killing all unborn puppies in the process and likely dooming any puppies she managed to squeeze out as well. Ask her this:"What's more important to you? Your dog's life--because she will die--or theoretical puppies that are not actually even conceived yet? Are you really willing to risk the life of the whole litter AND her instead of just the litter? This is all because of your own failure to keep her separated. Be responsible and protect her now, because if you don't she will probably die slowly and painfully. You can afford an emergency spay, but I know you can't afford the c-section she'll need if she survives pregnancy." The size discrepancy between a beagle and a chihuahua is enormous. The litter WILL kill her. Your mother needs to grow up and accept responsibility for what she's done. If she has a breeder telling her the same thing then she needs to develop some good sense and follow the advice she's been given or she WILL kill her dog.

A dog that has had difficulty coming into heat, has irregular heats, etc should not be bred. This usually signals a reproductive problem that can have seriosu consequences if the dog is bred.
Also champion or not, good pedigree or not if the dogs haven't had and passed genetic health testing (no not simple vet exams) they shouldn't be bred until the do.

You're still a child and it's up to your mother. Don't try to convince her to breed your dog. It doesn't matter if you think you can handle it. Is your mom financially able to care for these puppies? Does your dog have excellent bloodlines? Has she had all genetic and health tests completed? Has she been shown and earned her championship? What makes her so special? Does she have something positive to contribute to the breed? Until you learn to do more research, don't breed. How old are you? You're certainly not qualified to be breeding dogs, and certainly not qualified to say your dog deserves to be bred. You can't possibly know enough to be deciding which dogs should be bred. It doesn't matter if you've been doing this since you were six. The bottom line is to leave breeding to people who actually know what they're doing.

First of all, Tinkerbell is not old enough she needs to be at least 2. 2 is the age where you can have her OFA/CERF Testing done to see if she is even worthy of breeding. Second, is this Tinkerbell of yours a Champion show dog? Does she come from Champion lines? Does she conform to breed standards and have physical and temperamental characteristics that are worth genetically passing on?
If not, HAVE HER SPAYED.

Just because she came into season does not mean you should breed her, has she been through all the test that she needs to see if she is breeding material? Before you breed anymore dogs, take a trip to your local animal shelter and check out all the cute dogs/puppies and cats/kittens that are going to be put to sleep for lack of responsible homes. I don't care how responsible you think you are, there is more to breeding and caring for pets than feeding them and cleaning up after them. Vet bills, heartworm/flea prevention, vaccinations, and finding proper homes for the puppies are just a SMALL part of it. Have your pets spayed and neutered!

Please don't breed your dog have her fixed. You might be responsible but the pounds are so overcrowded because of unwanted dogs and puppies that when we rescued an abandoned litter of 6 week old kittens every place we called refused to take them because they are full to capacity. Full to capacity because of people breeding or failing to spay or neuter their animals, or people taking on puppies and when they fail to get the dog to behave, give them up.
It is a sad state of affairs that all of our pounds and rescues are so full they won't take in a few more animals? What does that say about the animals?? that they were better off abandoned under a dumpster to fend for themselves than to be rescued and cared for?
Spay your dog and please don't add to the overpopulation. If your mom is opening a bed and breakfast no one has time or money to care for a pregnant dog and her puppies. Unless your dog is a champion with champion blood lines don't waste your time.

Dragonfly is absolutely right - you need to get yourself educated!
If you know half of what you claim to know about dogs, you'll also know that this is a breed that most often has to be artificially inseminated. You'll also know that the puppies can't be born naturally and require a C-section. Has this dog of yours even had all of her health checks? Is she a champion and an excellent representative of her breed?
Breeding a litter is a huge responsibility even with a breed that doesn't need veterinary intervention. It's a full-time job if done correctly. Leave the breeding to people who are responsible enough to know what they're doing!

i know that you are going to hate what i say but it is what i feel is the truth. the way that you are talking in you question sounds like you are young and you mom should be the one deciding. if she wants you opinion she will as. trust me, i tried convincing my mom to just get a dog when i was young and got grounded for it. you mom probably doesn't thing that she will have enough time to give the puppies enough attention, and if she is starting up a business she is probably right. listen to you mom.

you aren't saving any puppies by allowing your dog to breed. Go visit the Animal Control facility for your county and you will see adorable puppies sitting on death row because there are no homes for them.
I hope your mother uses this as an opportunity to educate you and herself on the number of unwanted dogs in the world and you go to the vet together to get your dog spayed.
