That is one of the many reasons I adopt older pups, Alice was 7 mos old. I want to be able to see adult structure and bite to prevent as many problems as possible.

He has a longer snout and his head tilts a little downward. He has a very long narrow back but very tall thin back legs...his front feet look like doxie at the ankles. My vet says he is all chi...but he is not yet 4 and having spine problems so I have him on Phycox now. I don't know how to post pics from a web post, and if I had more time, I would find out. It isn't really important how they morph as they grow, and the most important thing is that they are the sweetest little things and all of our love is returned a hundred fold from our chis. --- In Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com, JelikoCats <Jelikocats@...> wrote: > > > OK when I got her I was told she was an apple head Chi.
