Instruction manual
1
To choose a healthy Chihuahua puppy, pay attention to the condition of his eyes, nose, ears. There should be no discharge, the baby's eyes should be clear, shiny, nose - wet and cold.
2
Count how many puppies are in the litter. Chihuahuas are very small dogs, and it’s quite difficult for mom to bear and feed a large number of puppies. Choose litters where there are two or three. If there are more puppies, one of them definitely did not get enough food in the womb and was left without milk, having been born. Such Chihuahuas can subsequently hurt a lot.

When choosing a puppy, pay attention to its behavior. Drop the keys or pen on the floor. If the baby is scared, whimpers, runs away - do not take it. Such puppies have an overly excitable nervous system; under stress, they can begin to urinate, bark loudly, or stop perceiving the owner’s orders.

Chihuahuas are very fragile dogs. Puppies are especially prone to injuries to their paws and tail. See if the baby is limping, if the tail is licking. Fractures at such a young age can seriously affect the exterior of the dog. A damaged leg may remain shorter than the rest, and the tail may bend.
5
If you choose a dog for shows, look for the smallest puppy in the litter. Chihuahuas growth is one of the main points of the exterior. The smaller the adult dog, the more likely it is to win prizes.

Choosing a bitch or cable chihuahua - you decide. In any case, if you are not going to breed puppies, the dog will have to be sterilized or neutered. So you will avoid diseases of the internal genital organs of the pet.
