Can you breed a Blue Chihuahua to a Blue Chihuahua?

Question

I have two blue chihuaua's. I would like to know if I can breed them togather. If I can't breed them togather what color can I breed to my female blue chihuahua

Answer 1

Yes. They are actually black chis with a dilution gene set. You should get mostly blues, but have the possibility of getting a fawn because brown (diluted) is recessive to black(diluted) which is blue.

You won't have any issues with them contrary to what people are trying to tell you. Remember that some people have an agenda of no breeding, so they taint answers with that agenda.

twandaworldovpuppies breeder .
why would ask such a question ... you have not even done your home work or i say back yard kennel for a fast buck... try breeding too blue your have still born and loss of hair and more heath problem then you know a tri-color for start and you have to have heath chi both party should be at less 3years old and have all therse shots and be upto date on everything and should have done your home work if your going to breed any dog you need to know what your getting your self into it something not to be taking light... always go to your vet and make sure the dog can have babies before hand ... most people want to breed to just make money it more then that it call labor it call having a vet on call and do you have the money for all the shots and dewarmer and vet check and papers and having a vet sign off on the heath of each puppy and your own dogs for that fact and there are lot of dog that need rehoming by from a fake breeder that not done what was right and just dump the dog off to the pound to be kill ..and this why we have so many dogs that need home and i bet your one of the people that don't even help with the spca.or your local pound that kill dogs less then 2 week half of the usa has kill shelter...
for the money but for the joy and love of the breed and can make sure the puppy heath and mother are well taking care of .... and some one that didnt take the time to find out what it take then you shouldnt be breeding at all people like you give breeder a bad name .... it really sad cause half of the breed dont make any money it all gose to vet to make sure that people can have a great pet and to spad not making more problem in the world

Answer 3

Genetics are tricky. The color of your dog and the color of the sire are not the only factors. Parents and grandparents also play a role. Blue (or the gene that dilutes colors) is recessive. You need to breed to a dog that has a blue gene, even if the dog isn't blue. In other words, at least one parent of the sire you'd like to use must be blue in order to produce blues in your litter. To get the most blues you'd need to breed to another blue. Please read the entire link I sited. I only glanced over it, but I don't plan on breeding chihuahuas. It should go much more in details about color genetics. I don't feel like lecturing too much today, but can't you just ask your breeder or breed mentor this question. Surely if you're planning on breeding you'd want to know as much as you can about the breed. Health checks, titles?

Answer 4

Blue+blue=genetic skin conditions at the LEAST. You would end up with ugly puppies that have hair loss issues and nobody will want them. Not a good idea.

Edit: Vee-if you breed two blues, you DO get genetic defects. It has nothing to do with the health of the dog. Why would you encourage this?

Answer 5

Its Blue MERLE to blue MERLE thats not kosher. but don't expect all blues - it could happen, but likely will not NOw - the health testing I believe you need a patella check (unless you want a puppy buyer trying (and maybe succeding) to colledt 2,000 from you for the surgery on THEIR pup. CHeck with the breed health commitee for other testing needed...

Answer 6

dont ever breed your dogs. There are countless dogs without homes already. Don't take advantage of living things for your own profit. Spay and neuter your them.

Answer 7

Why? Do you want your female to die? If you don't even color genetics, how do you expect to keep her alive if there's a delivery problem? Please just spay and neuter your dogs, there's no good reason for you to be breeding pet quality dogs. There are too many already, for starters, it's dangerous, for another thing, and you can't make profit off it, if anything you'll lose money in the venture.

Answer 8

Please just don't. Breeding small dogs like that is really kind of dangerous for them if you are not really careful. Chihuahua's are especially delicate anyways. Get them spayed and neutered, as I'm sure you are just planning a breeding to try and make some quick money...and that is not the reason to breed. Shame on you. >.<

Answer 9

No you don't breed your pets. That's a no no.

You get them spayed/neutered & show how responsable an owner you are.

You don't know enough to be breeding dogs, much less your own pets to even think about it. Lots of Chihuahua mama has died in giving birth. Unless you know 'exactly' what you are doing, don't try it. You may loose your little mama & her pups too.

Answer 10

Yes you can breed two blue chi's together.

You will no doubt get hundreds of people "answering" by telling you off for not having your animal's spayed etc - but if you have two healthy, happy chi's (that are not from the same litter) and you want them to have puppies to keep that line going, they can mate.

Chi's only have one or two puppies normally as they are so small.

Just ensure that your chi's are healthy & have no hereditary defects & that (of course) the pups will have happy loving homes.

Answer 11

If you're intending on breeding any dogs to get puppies of a certain color, or indeed intending on breeding any dogs and needing to ask how to do it, then please do the right thing and get those dogs spayed, or turn them in to somebody who won't be tempted to use the dogs as a second income.
