Very well said Deanna. Every word is so very true. Why anyone would just stick two dogs together to get one pregnant without researching the breed,genetics,color mutations,etc. is in my opinion being irresponsible and non caring.

IMO your female should stay away from any un-nuetered male to prevent unwanted pregnancies. But I guess what I don't understand is why you would want her "cot" and what exactly that term means to you?? It scares me to think that in this day and age...with what is happening to the poor Chihuahua at this very present time, that you would WANT to bring Chihuahua puppies into this world without being a breeder that knows EXACTLY what they are doing. I am certainly not trying to be judgemental here...I LOVE puppies and I am all for responsible breeding.. for a purpose...to further the breed in a positive way...but just to bring a litter of pups into the world just breaks my heart!!! Obviously I do not know your situation or have many of the facts at all...but my heart is just breaking. I visit our local shelters often...I do a little volunteer work.. and what I see each month makes me cry everytime. The shelters are over-run with the sweetest, most adorable little Chi's you ever saw...throw aways.. there are not even close to enough adopters out there...they are being KILLED by the hundreds everyday. Please, please I beg of you...just go visit one. Walk through and realize how many will be killed...really without one thought...you may change your mind about just bringing more puppies into the world. I do not want to offend or criticize you...just maybe get you to think about something you may not realize. The poor Chihuahua is in GREAT need of people to stand up and scream out and give them a voice. Please re-think and really find out what is happening to the breed...it WILL make you sick!!! Hugs In Him, Deanna
