need chihuahua information
A neighbor's daughter, age 16, wants to get a Chihuahua. Daughter is a
typical teenager with school activites and a part-time job so I have already commented on those factors as issues. Can anyone provide information about health and behavior issues related to this breed? Thank you! Margaret -- |

Outside of the continuity of a high schooler taking on a 15 year (or so) responsibility, check out this link I took from http://www.dogplay.com/Breeding/health.html: http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/P...adiseases.html -- --Matt.

Margaret Are the parents prepared to take care of this animal once the daughter: -loses interest, -goes away to college, -gets an apartment that doesn't allow pets, -marries someones that hates dogs I would suggest your neighbor's family consider volunteering at a shelter or fostering a dog before making a lifetime commitment to a pet, no matter what Britney Spears or Paris Hilton do by bad example.

I guess it's nice that people who are looking to buy badly-bred messes of puppies have a place to go, but *wow*. It's particularly unfortunate that so many of the ads are from people selling toy breeds, given how widespread genetic health problems are with the little guys. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
