I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!! I got a little chihuahua puppy last weekend!!!! I named him Chino (after the lead singer of the Deftones) and he's my little snuggle bug! I love him! I'm Hottie Hilton, hehehe! I had to drive all the way from MA to somewhere in PA past Altoona. Eight hours each way, but my little mexi dude is 100% worth it! My mom bred mini dachsunds for 8 years and I had a weenie dog and a papillion a few years back, but chi's seem to be completely different. Anyway, I did my research on the breed and I know the basics, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any input on chi's to share. We're training him on piddle pads indoors, kitty litter box style. So far, so good, but I've been warned he may stray from the pads as he ages. Anything else I should know? I wuv my wittle guy!!!!!!!!!!!::)

yaaay!!! we want pictures!!!
I just got a cocker spaniel from missouri a week ago. I'll try to get some pics up, she's a doll... nine weeks old, buff and white :)
i suggest getting a book on puppies just for basic training tips and advice. i've only had cockers and labs, so i can't offer any breed specific input. good luck with him though! dogs are awesome ! :)

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhhhh! I just love puppies! Definetly need some pics!! I have a cocker spaniel too except he's black and white and the official house couch potatoe!! I also have the greyhound/shepard mutt in my avatar. I've never had a chi but my next door neighbor just got two male longhaired ones about two weeks ago. They are sooooo adorable!
The only training advice I can give to be sure he knows who's boss and try taking him to an obediance class. I took Neeko (the grey/shep.) to one at Petsmart and it was really helpful. It also socializes them to be around other dogs and people. Might want to check into doggy daycare too. I used to take Neeko there just to play when he was a puppy. Got me some peace and quiet when he was really young and hyper. He came home so exhausted!! A big bowl of food and a nap was all he wanted. :sleep:

Awwwwwww, I love chihuahua's they are so cute! I've been wanting one for a while too and will get one once I've got my own place again, his name will be Victor. I can't wait to see some pics of your little guy on here. We just got a pug puppy at our house 2 weeks ago and named him Koki (Hawaiian for "snub-nosed") and he's a silly little guy!

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on your new baby! I had one myself two weeks ago!
A fat little Scottish Terrier! His name is Buggle, Scottish for tired/sleepy.
We are expecting another bundle of joy in a couple of weeks, he's a Boxer-Bull dog mix. The breeder had an accident!
Once he's home I'll try to get some pics up of all four of my babies! Pippin, my Westie is my avatar and I also have a Pointer, Sportster.

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! You guys crack me up! I love you!!!
I have to resize my photo of him and I'll post it. He's so freakin cute, although yesterday when papa was watching him he got sick. Puked twice during the day, but I think it's from the wet food we tried to feed him. My bf wanted to spoil him a little and I think Chino still has too young of a tummy to be eating the wet food just yet. But when they picked me up from school last night he was happy to see me and he wouldn't stop wiggling his little tushy, hehehe!

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love dogs. When i was around (gosh...i think) 19 or 20 i had a Chi. Tan. Cute and it's was so funny (at the time) when he turned about 1 or 2 i guess he would let friends enter the home no problem, but when they wanted to leave, he would run up and grab their pants right at the very bottom, it was all he could reach. He actually was trying to bite i later learned, when he did...A neighbour who had shorts on. Broke skin on his ankle. Good Lord. But everyone loved him.
So when people came over i would have to ask them to wait before heading to the door. I needed to pick him up quickly, he would bark and raise hell.
Now i have moved up to bigger dogs. But i will never forget my mother saying that dog thinks hes' a Doberman!
He was cool, and lived to be around 15 yrs of age. Not wiht me however, i did not know much about dogs then, and he was a small but powerful handful for me then.

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awwww.. How adorable, WFB!
My family had a Miniature Springer Spaniel, "Princess" when I was growing up. She lived a VERY long life (18 years) until Cancer took her.
I have pics of her from my first wedding where my colors were Peach and Gray. My Mother had gotten her groomed for the occasion, complete with a peach ribbon in her hair. I'll go through my album later and scan a pic.

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its been really cool she has been at my desk all day and nobody new she was here till i took her out to water the grass! then only a few saw her and said where did she come from? how long has she been here?
ive had her kennel under my desk since 7 am the door open the whole time and ive even left for up to 15 minutes. she just stays there and chews on her bone and eats or drinks or naps. god i hope this lasts. plus when we have gone outside she does her job then she comes and sits next to me. she doesnt like concrete tho, we can be walking on the gras heading for the door and she hits the breaks hard at the edge of the concrete. so daddy picks her up and carrys her back inside and we walk back into our kennel and lay down.

(yes im a happy puppy daddy)

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awwww Hottie you got a little "Taco Bell" dog. Watch the Simple Life much? J/K. Nice to hear from you again.

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Teacup" puppies are not part of the breed ANY breed, they are just a way for rouge backyard breeders to make big bucks of a puppy that will most likely die young or cost you hundreds more in vet bills. It is a major genetic fault, and 9/10 there will be somthing elso majorly wrong with the dog.
Only pedigree pups WITH or without papers but from repupitable (SP) and well established breeders should cost the big $. YOu are paying for piece of mind as all tests and breeding line mesures have been taken to improve the litter.
Sorry for the rant but I am a breeder, and I prefer people to know the whole truth before wasting hundreds on dogs that will break their hearts.

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well how the hell have you been Hottie? Long time no see, no chat, what? You don't love us anymore???? LOL...

Re: I got a puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awwww Gynger! You know I still love you! I've been a wreck as of lately though and I've had no time to chat, but I do still make my way in here to see what and who's new.
And yes Red, I do watch The Simple Life too much, lol! Got season one on dvd and I love it! I only really like Nicole Ritchie though, Paris is obnoxious. Her dog is adorable though, her only redeeming quality :)!
Let me try to post some pics......
