The chihuahua is a saucy little dog with huge personality that can live for sometimes as much as 14 to 18 years. Please research online about this breed before you decide to choose a chihuahua puppy of your own. They are very dedicated companion's but not raised in the correct way can lead to issues like snappiness, excessive barking, and owner possession, A CHIHUAHUA is what you make of it, it is a very intelligent breed and very eager to learn despite its size!!

I can not be responsible for conditions the puppy is subjected to once it leaves our home such as HYPOGLYCEMIA, there is a TON of information online and through your vet about this condition and these tiny dogs. I would advise everyone to READ ALL ABOUT IT and have an understanding of the chihuahua breed.  I have literature I can email you if you would like to read more. Knowledge is your best defense.

One condition most important to know about is HYPOGLYCEMIA, please read this:

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia is a sudden fall of glucose in the blood. The body uses glucose as its primary energy source. The brain is dependent upon glucose to function. The liver is responsible for manufacturing glucose and for storing it in a usable form, for release into the blood stream as needed. Muscle tissues store important materials used.

Hypoglycemia Must Be Treated
Transient Juvenile Hypoglycemia, which is brought on by fasting, is common in Toy dog breeds, such as CHIHUAHUA's, Yorkshire Terrier, Toy Poodle, Pomeranian and other Toy dog breeds, and usually seen in puppies 5 to 16 weeks of age. Stress, low body temperature, poor nutrition, sudden change in feed, water and schedule patterns, infections, and premature birth may precipitate the onset of hypoglycemia. Some puppies, bred exclusively for tiny size ("teacup Yorkies", "teacup Chihuahua"), are even more predisposed to Transient Juvenile Hypoglycemia since insufficient muscle mass may make it difficult for the body to store the glucose and keep its blood sugar properly regulated.

Most common clinical signs of hypoglycemia are drowsiness, shivering, collapsing, disorientation, seizures, listlessness, depression, muscle weakness and tremors. Sometimes signs are not always seen, so close observation of your pet and knowing when your dog is going into a distressed state can mean the difference between life and death of your dog. Immediate treatment by a veterinarian is imperative, as recurrence of, or prolonged attacks, can cause permanent damage to the brain. It has been proven experimentally that eight hours fasting in a toy-breed puppy can result in marked variation of blood glucose, showing both hypo- and hyperglycemia. Frequent feeding of a high-energy, protein-rich diet to both mother and puppies may prevent toy-breed puppies from developing hypoglycemia and may help them to overcome periods with a decreased intake of energy.

Puppies and dogs can develop severe hypoglycemia after consuming sugar-free gum sweetened with the sugar-alcohol xylitol. In humans, xylitol has little to no effect on plasma insulin or glucose levels, but in dogs xylitol is a strong promoter of insulin release and can cause severe hypoglycemia with collapse and seizures. With the increased appearance of xylitol-sweetened products in the US, xylitol toxicosis in dogs may become more common. Sometimes, a dog will outgrow this condition.
