You Say You Want a T Cup Chihuahua

Buyer Beware...

Tiny Chihuahuas Can Die Very Easily...

Chihuahua Puppies Are Not Toys...

You May Want to Consider Getting a Larger Puppy...

Please Read The Important Information Below!!

   Everyone always wants to get the smallest Chihuahua puppy possible. First of all, Chihuahuas were not meant to weigh 2 pounds. They are healthier if they weigh between 5-6 pounds. If you have children under the age of 15, I will still sell you a Chihuahua because I know you will get one no matter what. The only thing I will not do is sell you a Chihuahua, especially a t cup without warning you about the dangers that are potentially ahead waiting for you and your future puppy. Granted it is possible for a family with small responsible children to have a puppy and raise it without harming it, but it is difficult. Even if your children are careful and do not crush or drop the puppy, they still may cause it harm.

   Chihuahuas, especially the smaller ones need constant care. This does not mean that they need to be played with all day long. This means that they need to be supervised. It is very important that their eating and drinking habits are monitored. If they never get a chance to settle down, eat, sleep, and drink because they are being used as play toys for children, they can quickly start going down hill. They can go from a bouncing baby to a very sick baby within hours. Once they start going down hill with low blood sugar, you will have to tend to them every 2-3 hours until they are 4 months old, maybe longer. You may also have to take them to the emergency room and keep them there for days. It may end up costing you more money than the puppy costs in no time. All puppies are susceptible to many problems just like all children are. They get sick all the time. With a larger puppy, you treat them for most problems, and go about your day. With a t cup Chihuahua puppy, the illness is usually not the only problem you have to contend with. When they get sick, they do not eat or drink all day. This triggers hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Now, you have to not only deal with the original problem, you also have to deal with the low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is easy to treat if you have the time to tend to them all day long for months. If you do not have the patience or the time to deal with it, the puppy will most likely die. This means all day and all night monitoring. In other words, t cup Chihuahuas can add a lot of stress to your life. It is no fun watching a 10 OZ puppy go into hypoglycemic shock. They cry and seizure all day and all night. They totally depend on you to cater to their every need. You see why I say that t cups are not toys.

   Bringing home a puppy puts a lot of stress on the puppy. They are in total shock when they leave one place and go to the next. If they are shipped, this adds to the stress. My advice to someone wanting a dog that only weighs about 2 pounds is to let the breeder keep the puppy until they are at least 3 months. If the breeder is not willing to do this, I would not purchase a puppy from them. This shows that they do not care for the puppy and only want to push them out of their house. Breeders know that raising a t cup until it is 12 weeks rather than 8 weeks is a real burden. Many breeders would rather get rid of the puppy fast. This way, if any problems develop, it is somebody else's problem. I do not look at it that way. I am dedicated to what I do. I would never compromise the health of one of my puppies like that. If the customer really wants them at 10 weeks, they can have them, but I want them to read this warning first. I will not ship them until they are 14 oz. to 1 lb. though. I realize that the puppies can leave here and be fine, but I also realize that problems are likely to happen in at least one of my t cup puppies. I would not feel right if I did not warn the buyer about what they are getting into. It is also important that the buyer understands that it may be costly to keep a puppy alive once it starts to go down hill. I have a lot of experience with tiny Chihuahuas and can do a lot of things medically necessary to bring the puppy back to health without spending a small fortune at the vets office.

   I am not writing this and sending potential customers to this page to scare anyone off. Yes, I do sell puppies, but I do not want to sell the wrong puppy to the wrong person. If you are sure you still want a tiny baby, I have them from time to time, but if you just want a tiny healthy little Chihuahua, you may want to consider getting one that is a little more stable. They still grow up to be small enough to sneak into restaurants in a little fancy pet carrier. They are just as loving, and they are a lot less fragile. If you still want a t cup, just be prepared for what might be presented to you in the future. Most of all, remember that I will hold this puppy for you until he or she is at least 3 months old to get you and the puppy through the time when problems usually surface. They are still cute little things at 3 months old and have a long life full of joy ahead of them. Thank you for taking the time to read this. It is really important.
