A New Chihuahua Pup For Existing Chihuahua 2 Yr Old ***

[dieseldick]

we have a 2 yr old female chihuahua , dont like ythe word " *** "

shes my daughters and we want to buy her a boy dog, would the 2 fight ? if i do buy her an extra dog i plan on putting the 2 of them together at night into a large dog cage in the wifes kitchen , they have a massive garden to play in.

just that concern if they would fight or not ? what about mating , would they mate together if the male pup grew up with the female dog ?

Yes, they will mate.

sorry don't know anything about chuhuahuas just curious about the wifes kitchen do you have one each x

[THEMOTLEY1]

You would need to have one of them neutered/spayed.

[hc4361]

Dogs should not be caged (crated) together

My husband once told me he had cleaned my windows for me. He never said it again.

Is your wife happy about taking on another puppy?

[wolf63]

Your daughter would love a puppy but does your wife want another one? She will be the one who will have to look after it.

If you did buy a boy and girl and they were not neutered you will get puppies.

i should have said the x wifes , x wife got a new home with massive garden etc so my daughter wants another chihuahua.

[mallyh]

oh thanks for clearing that up ,thought you had a massive house with two kitchens lol x

[dieseldick]

since they are small dogs the x wife would not mind, easy to care for and good fun, no casting , no mess and a massive garden for them to play in.

as for mating then its ok, i want them to mate , i will sell on any pups and bank the money to my daughters account, and no its not a money making exercise its just that my daughter wants another one and the female chihuahua needs a playmate, i think she gets bored all day in the house on her own.

they need to go into cage together , the female has allready bitten doors, wooden skirting etc and ruined the wifes old house ( evn though i got her plastic toys and bones to chew on) so i do not want them doing this in her new home .

It is not safe to cage two dogs together - they could fight and it could get very vicious in a confined area, even though they are small dogs. If they must be crated they should be in separate crates. So are they caged all day when your ex wife is at work and all night when the family is in bed?

[hc4361]

Another thought, is your chihuahua socialised? Does she regularly play with other dogs? If not, she may not be happy sharing her territory with another dog

[wolf63]

dd - there is so much more to breeding dogs than boy + girl = puppies. You would need to ensure that they have excellent pedigrees and are genetically compatible/suitable for breeding.

Have you actually talked to your wife about this? You can't just assume that she will be okay about it because the dogs are small. Your daughter is still very young and a new puppy will be exciting but at her age it will be her mum who looks after the dogs. It would be wrong to force her into a situation where she has to accept a puppy - it is her life and her house and she needs to make her own decisions.

Think it through - your heart might be in the right place but your thinking on this one is a bit off

[woofgang]

only a bit off???????? diesel this is such a silly idea I have no idea where to even begin.......just don’t do it.

[Islay]

ditto to what woolfgang says

Chihuahaua's are not easy dogs infact they are one of the most destructive breed going.

Also letting a 7 year old have another dog is quite frankly silly - who is going to look after it, train it, clean up after it - when the child gets bored?

[hc4361]

Tell your daughter that she should not have another dog because the two dogs will bond and will prefer to play with each other instead of her.

A pure chihuahua pup will cost you about £600. If it's not a money making venture why haven't you also considered a girl? if it's just a playmate why not get a rescue or mongrel puppy?

[Islay]

oh great another backyard breeder for the rescues to deal with!!

[hc4361]

Prudie, they couldn't have a rescue dog as the house is empty most of the day
