Hi Naomi Welcome to the group! What is your little one's name? I have two chi's at the moment and soon on Aug. 4th I will have three! I used to breed them but I only breed mini dachshunds at this time. That amount of food is all right because you have to remember your baby has a very little tummy. That said I caution........check the dog food sack and make sure that she is receiving a GOOD food. The ingredients should begin with first with chicken or beef and then make sure it isn't full of MSG and flours and corn."Blue" has a good food as well as Eukanuba and Wellness and others.Make sure she always has access to water and she has potty breaks every couple of hours.I was pleased to hear she had her first set of shots. Did he worm her also? I would love to see a picture of her....all of us here love pics ! You will find this is a warm,non judging list. Sometimes we all have opinions but we resolve things peacefully...lmbo! I am attaching pics of one of my boys and then Miss Emily the one I am adopting ....also. Have a good time here !

Hi, my name is Naomi and I just bought me an adorable Chihuahua on May 9th. When I bought her the people said she was 9 weeks old. They bought her from someone else and decided that they couldnt handle a puppy. It was a little weird when I went to see her because when I knocked they didnt come out the front door, they came out from the side of the house just holding her with nothing else. No bed, toys, blanket, food and no shot records. They just handed her to me and took the money. I was a little suspicious but I wanted her so bad. I immediately took her to the vet and thank God she was checked out okay. She got her first set of shots and a nice warm bath on the same day. I have two questions for you Chihuahua experts. One, I drown her with affection constantly, hugging her, kissing her, scratching her tummy, but she seems kind of indifferent to me. She loves to play but the affection she acts like she could do without. Are all Chihuahuas like that? Also, she doesnt eat very much. I serve her once in the morning and thats it. It takes her the whole day into late night to finish that one bowl of food. And its not a big bowl of food. The bowl is very small so I would say less than ½ cup. Is this normal? Shes been to the vet twice and she went from 2.8lbs. to 3.5lbs. Thats a good sign. Feedback please?????? (Sorry for the long email)
