Chihuahua Puppy Answer Station
Have a few questions about bringing a pocket-sized bundle of joy into your life? We’ve gathered the top 12 things future puppy parents ask us most! From size expectations to daily care tips, we have all the warm, simple answers right here.
Meet Our Sweet Puppies
What is the average adult size of your Chihuahuas?
Our gorgeous puppies typically grow up to weigh between 3.5 to 6 pounds fully grown. They stay beautifully tiny, making them the ultimate pocket-sized companions who can comfortably join you on any adventure!
What is the difference between an "Apple Head" and a "Deer Head"?
We specialize in the highly sought-after, premium Apple Head Chihuahua! This means they have a beautifully rounded, dome-shaped skull, short sweet snouts, and huge expressive eyes. Deer heads have longer snouts and a silhouette similar to a little deer.
Are your Chihuahua puppies purebred and registered?
Absolutely! Every single one of our sweet babies comes from beautifully preserved, purebred lines. They come complete with official registration papers, a documented multi-generation pedigree chart, and brilliant heritage lines you can be proud of.
What coat types and colors do you have available?
We love variety! We raise both sleek, shiny Smooth Coats and fluffy, elegant Long Coats. Our colors range from classic rich fawns and chocolates to rare, breathtaking blues, merles, and beautiful multi-colored party patterns.
Health, Growth & Glamour
What exactly is Hypoglycemia, and is it scary?
Not at all when you are prepared! Because they are so tiny, toy puppies can occasionally experience a drop in blood sugar if they play too hard or skip a meal. It is easily prevented by feeding them frequent mini-meals and keeping a tasty tube of Nutri-Cal gel on hand for an instant energy boost.
Do your long-haired Chihuahuas shed a lot?
Surprise—they actually shed less than smooth-coated ones! Their soft, silky outer coat traps loose hairs rather than dropping them on your clothes. A quick, fun brush twice a week keeps them looking completely fabulous and mat-free.
What should I buy before my puppy arrives home?
Get ready for a fun shopping trip! You will want a cozy small crate, an ultra-soft puppy bed, high-quality toy-breed kibble, tiny chew toys, a lightweight harness, and a warm, stylish sweater to keep them cozy during breezy days.
Is the natural soft spot on their head normal?
Yes, completely normal! Just like human babies, many Apple Head Chihuahuas are born with a tiny soft spot on the top of their skull called a molera. As they grow up healthy and strong, this spot often shrinks or closes completely. It’s simply a unique trait of the breed!
Training, Trust & Process
Are Chihuahuas easy to potty train?
They are incredibly smart, but they have tiny bladders! The key secret is consistency and routine. Taking them out to the same spot every couple of hours and rewarding them instantly with love and tiny treats makes the process smooth, fast, and highly successful.
Can I visit the puppy nursery in person?
To keep our newborn litters completely safe from outside viruses and to maintain a quiet, peaceful environment for our nursing mothers, we do not open our private home to general foot traffic. Instead, we offer high-definition FaceTime and live video tours so you can watch your puppy play in real time!
What awesome goodies come inside the puppy starter pack?
Your puppy arrives with a premium pack containing their official veterinary vaccine log, a signed 10-year health guarantee contract, a starter bag of premium food, and an ultra-soft blanket saturated with their mother's comforting scent to make the first night peaceful.
What happens if I can no longer care for my dog later in life?
We stand by our babies for life! If an unexpected life event occurs and you can no longer provide a home for your dog, our Open-Door Policy means we will always gladly welcome the dog back into our arms, ensuring they are loved forever.
