Why don't you want to have her fixed? The best thing for your puppy is to spay her when she reaches about 6 months of age. It'll prevent any unwanted litters.
Chihuahuas are among the hardest breeds to breed. Every dog should be at least 2 years of age, have all genetic and health tests completed, have excellent bloodlines, be shown, be well on their way to obtaining their championship, have excellent qualities to contribute to the breed, and be an excellent example of the breed.
You should never breed just for your own selfish reason. If your dog is only a pet, she should be fixed. Do you have any idea how many dogs are sitting in shelters right now? Do you know how many dogs are on death row right now due to overpopulation? Do you know that you can risk your girls LIFE if you breed her?
Are you financially prepared for breeding? Are you going to be the one shelling out thousands of dollars for an emergency c-section when she has trouble giving birth? Are you going to be the one dedicating all your time and effort into bottle feeding pups around the clock if she rejects them?
There's no problem with having a male and a female dog living together, but PLEASE get them fixed. There isn't a need for more puppies.

You want a boy Chi, but you have two and a dachshund and you want a bigger dog? Wow, quite the pack you're developing!
Humping is what makes more puppies. Why don't you want to fix her? There are many benefits to spaying. Your puppy should be at least two and have all her health checks before she can have her own puppies.

If you don't fix her, he will probably always hump her. Even if you get him fixed. I have a 9 month old lab who has been spayed, but have a friend that has a 9 month old lab that hasn't been spayed. They look almost exactly alike, but when we play with all of their friends, all of the males (all have been neutered) hump the crazy out of the unspayed dog.
You should really spay your baby. Not only is it healthier for her, she will also not have a false pregnancy if the male does penetrate her - which causes her to think she is pregnant and can cause very bad depression.
Spaying or Neutering Is Good for Your Pet
Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of
health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.
Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces
the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her
first estrous cycle.
Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate
disease.
Spaying or Neutering Is Good for You
Spaying and neutering makes pets better, more affectionate companions.
Neutering cats makes them less likely to spray and mark territory.
Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. Estrus lasts an average of six to 12
days, often twice a year, in dogs and an average of six to seven days, three or
more times a year, in cats. Females in heat can cry incessantly, show nervous
behavior, and attract unwanted male animals.
Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than
do those who have been spayed or neutered.
Spaying and neutering can make pets less likely to bite.
Neutering makes pets less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away, or get into
fights.
Spaying and Neutering Are Good for the Community
Communities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted animals.
Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks.
Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals.
Stray pets and homeless animals get into trash containers, defecate in public areas
or on private lawns, and frighten or anger people who have no understanding of
their misery or needs.
Some stray animals also scare away or kill birds and wildlife.
Please every year about 3-4 million dogs and cats are put down in shelters. Only 1 in every 8 puppies born will make it to adulthood in loving families. Only 1 in 20 cats will make it. The others will be abandoned and abused, neglected and killed.

Before you think about breeding a Chihuahua I would run down to the local pound & see how many there are going to die that day.
Get both male & female fixed so you DON'T & WON'T have puppies. If you want another one or two, hell, say 5 or 6 more, save their lives by adopting them. If you dog would have just 3 babies, there are 3,000 killed at the moment yours welps. Horrible odds, don't you think.

At 4 weeks the mom is ready to start the weaning process. That's when you start to offer them dry puppy food that's been moistened with a bit of warm water. Feed them 3 times a day, give them about 20 minutes to eat, then let the mom finish the rest. The puppies also need to be offered fresh water at this time. Most moms finish the weaning process around 6 weeks.

Just go out and buy a boy Chihuahua. Why populate the world with more dogs. Have your female spayed. It is the most responsible thing you can do as a dog owner.

You are better off getting your dog spayed!
You should seek a breed mentor. Contact the chihuahua club of America and seek a breed mentor. You need to be mentored.
There is a lot to learn and you are only beginning by owning your first chihuahua...They are a lot of work and commitment...

Just get her spayed.
Our local animal control shelter has over 40 chihuahua and chihuahua mixes at any given time and ends up euthanizing most of them. You'll sell the pups to people who will get bored of them after awhile and this is what happens to them.
You think "Not my pups" but yes, it will be your pups. Everybody thinks the same thing. It's disgusting.

If you aren't going to fix either of your dogs, they will try to mate and you will end up with a litter. Why don't you want to spay your female chihuahua?
