( First Litter)

Our Puppies are paper trained and are INSIDE PETS!
They are  small and have been sleeping with their brothers and sisters since birth. (above picture) When you get them home give them a lot of attention. They love to be held and kissed. On the first month away from home they will cry because they miss their siblings and mom. I find wrapping them in a loose towel and sleeping with them really helps.  Keep a  24x24 box with news paper next to the bed so they can potty. They love to play and be careful walking around your home when they are loose. They love toys....buy small chewy sticks...they are teething. Remember to keep water and food available for them at all times. We kept two from the first litter and they are an absolute joy!
We have been feeding them Science Diet Canned Puppy Food.

 



CHIHUAHUA HISTORY

Much of the Chihuahua's history is speculation and theory, although everyone agrees on some matters. The Chihuahua is named for the Mexican State that borders Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. It is believed that the breed descended from the Techichi, a small canine that dates back to Mayan times (around the 5th century AD).

The Toltecs (the people that conquered the Mayans) are believed to be the first to domesticate the Techichi and brought the canine into the home as pets and also used them for religious purposes. After the Aztecs became the ruling class of Mexico, they also used the dog as a companion and in religious ceremonies. This has been learned due to the writings in Mayan, Toltec, and Aztec writings in tombs, temples, and pyramids. Also, remains of the small dogs were found in graves in both Mexico and the United States so this could back up the religious theory.

The dogs were found in the state of Chihuahua in 1850 in old ruins near Casas Grandes, and are thought to be the ruins of the palace built by Emperor Montezuma I. The relics and remains of the Techichi indicate that the breed was longhaired and mute, very different from the modern Chihuahua. The Aztec wealthy and clergy thought the Techichi to be sacred while the lower class had little use for the dogs and sometimes used them as food.

When the explorers arrived in the New World it is believed the Techichi bred with a dog that was brought over and the result is the Chihuahua that we have today. The tiny modern day Chihuahua has gone through many changes and become very popular since their discovery. The American Kennel Club first registered the Chihuahua as a breed in 1904. Color variations are limited only by the imagination. The smooth coated variety is still the most publicly recognized, but the long-coat variety has increased in numbers and popularity. Chihuahuas are a long lived breed, often achieving 16 or more years of age.
