Getting Another Chihuahua

[dieseldick]

we allready have a female , she is 3 yrs old , dont know what that is in dog yrs but anyway .

daughter wants another dog, a puppy, male .

will they fight is the question. what is our dog doesnt take to him ?

what way to introduce to her ?
she lives in a large cage at night , she loves to sleep inside her cage.
if we did buy a new dog could we put him inside or gradually put him in after weeks ?
will they eventually breed ?
also, there is a miniture Dachshund for sale , bit expensive at 600 quid, daughter loves him , would they make a good mix if bred later on in years to come

How old is your daughter?
Does your ex wife want another dog?
OMG why do you want them to breed?
If they breed are you ready to declare the income to HMRC or pay for the pups to be vet certified and vaccinated.
If you are adamant to get another dog I would attempt to introduce them before you buy the dog.
Sorry I can't actually continue answering this without saying what you are suggesting is very wrong and at 600 quid you are encouraging puppy farming!

Islay: What's so wrong about breeding dogs? We had two labs and sold 22 lovely pups. That's 22 happpier families.

if your intention is to breed then get another chihuahua... but arrange for them to meet in advance..most breeders will be happy for you to do that, also take advice from a breeder regarding what is required for innoculations..certification and selling protocol

oh, thanks scoop , each to their own.

and I would add that £600 for a pedigree puppy is in the normal range one would expect to pay

[dieseldick]

murry, yes good idea to let them see around each other for a little while. not for breeding but they want a puppy.

Not at all Scooping its called caring about the dogs that are about to be born and sold on.
As I said I volunteer in dog rescue and have seen what happens with over breeding!

with respect ..this post is asking about dogs not personal finances
