Help! Opinions needed
I've decided to add to my Chihuahua family. I currently have 2 3 year old brothers. Gonzo is black and tan he's 10lbs and Peanut is brown and 4lbs. People do not believe they are from the same litter due to their size difference. I have always wanted a Merle but they are usually very expensive! I found 2 a boy and a girl for a very reasonable price. I am torn between the 2 but leaning more towards the girl. I am interested in breeding Peanut, Gonzo is fixed because when we got him one of his testicles hadn't dropped so didn't want to take any chance on future medical issues so we got him fixed. Both are beautiful healthy 8 week old Chihuahuas. It's a very hard choice! Help me decide! And any ideas on possible names would be great! The girl is the white and brown and the boy is tan/multi-coloured. Both are unbearabley cute! I'd bring them both home if I could!
EDIT to add information. I am in no ways planning to a full time breeder! If I did breed, it would only be once and I have responsible people that are interested if I did have a litter. I had previously had 2 litters 10+ years ago and all went to people I actually knew and knew they would be responsible owners. On top of that both litters were homed with first and second shots and dewormed. I also told the new owners of for whatever reason they couldn't take care of their puppy I would take them back without hesitation! I have a large house, in the country with lots of yard!
Also where I live it is actually very difficult to find a Chihuahua to adopt. I tried for almost 2 years of being on multiple wait list before getting my boys but I would have loved to give a shelter dog a better home! And NO I do not live in America, so your assumptions are off!
EDIT # 2 Everyone is entitled to their opinions but I'm over all the know it all's and your negativity! Did I say I am getting a female just to breed? No I said it's a thought! Anyone that thinks breeding makes you money is horribly mistaken! In fact if you take all the expenses you put out for the life time of the dog plus expenses of a litter of puppies unless you are charging thousands of dollars you probably won't come close to breaking even! Yes C-sections are expensive and worst then the cost of surgery is the dog going through that experience! You arm chair experts think you know everything and you don't! My animals are well taken care financially, medically and every way possible! If it came down to me eating or them, i am going hungry! Pet ownership should not be taken lightly! But I am done reading all your BS and negativity, you try to be better then everyone else and you ARE NOT! Thank you to anyone that posted something positive and not assuming everyone is a completed idiot! Post whatever you want but I am done reading or responding to the BS!
