Miss Squeaks Truth About Teacup Chihuahua!

Whether you presently own a Chihuahua Furbaby or are thinking of owning one, you have most likely detected individuals refer to a number of them as "teacups" "micro" or similar names. Typically, owners and breeders might refer to their ultra-small Chihuahuas using terms like these. this may beyond any doubt be confusing giving the actual fact that the American Kennel Club and also the Australia Kennel Club solely recognises 2 varieties - the smooth and long-coat. So, what is the deal with names like teacup? Keep reading and we'll dive somewhat deeper into this subject, revealing the reality behind the teacup 

If you previously thought a teacup Chihuahua was a particular breed, you are not alone. There is a growing idea concerning this word that confuses most of the overall public. Since the term is employed therefore oftentimes and by such a lot of individuals, it's virtually taken a life of its own, spreading like inferno. As a result, individuals wanting to add a brand new Chihuahua to their family could ask breeders or pet stores if they have any of the "teacup" breed. rather than correcting them, the breeder can go in conjunction with the charade and try to complete a purchase.

Confusing Names Used To Describe Chihuahuas

As a results of the poor info that is been floating around, various improper names are getting used to explain Chihuahuas. This might not appear to be an enormous issue, however it creates an moral gray area for breeders and sellers who recognize the truth regarding Chihuahuas. For example, if a possible client comes to a breeder asking them for a teacup Chihuahua, the breeder could respond by saying she has them, however just for a price bigger than the non-teacups. Basically, terms like these can be used to mark up the worth on Chihuahuas; therefore, creating it more profitable for the breeders.

Here are a number of the foremost common unofficial names used to describe Chihuahuas:

Teacup

Toy (ALL Chihuahuas are considered a Toy breed)

Tiny

Mini

Miniature

Pocket-sized

Micro

Teacup Chihuahuas - The Facts

While we do not know who the primary person was to explain a Chihuahua as a teacup, the term picked up popularity and spread throughout the early 90s. it is vital to note, however, that no major canine association has ever used the term to explain or otherwise categorise Chihuahuas. Either one or more owners probably remarked their remarkably tiny Chihuahuas as teacups, so beginning the craze that is still occurring nowadays. once individuals hear the word teacup, they now assume it is a sure breed of Chihuahua, however sadly it's some term that several individuals use to explain them.

The only people who have the benefit of confusing terms like teacup, toy and small are the Chihuahua breeders. Now please  don't get me wrong - there are some breeders who can illustrate to the client that teacups are simply a term and not an formally recognized breed. Others, however, can use the public's content as a tool to sell their tiny Chihuahuas at a better value. for example, somebody sees or hears about a small teacup Chihuahua through and friend, so that they scan through the newspapers in search of 1.Because teacup Chihuahuas are not an official breed, chances are high that they'll have a tough time finding one. However, they will encounter a breeder providing them for a higher value than your typical Chihuahuas. The client can probably comply with the price just because they can not find these teacup Chihuahuas elsewhere.

The term "teacup Chihuahua" has been used such a lot that is virtually become an unofficial approach of relating tiny Chihuahuas. once a breeder or store refers to their Chihuahuas as teacups, they're either doing it to undertake and acquire more cash for them, or they're just as confused concerning the word as everybody else. In any case, it is the breeder's responsibility to label their Chihuahuas properly and not deceive their customers in any approach, form or type.

What You Must  Understand About Owning a Teacup Chihuahua

Because of the exaggerated demand for so-called teacup Chihuahuas in recent years, breeders and pet outlets are inspired to try and breed their Chihuahuas to be as tiny as attainable just because they will create more cash off them. the problem in doing so, however, is that little Chihuahuas are a lot of vulnerable to health issues like hypoglycaemia, diabetes, patellar displacement, cardiovascular disease, bone fractures, joint issues, etc. Does that mean you should not get a teacup Chihuahua? It's extremely a personal choice that solely you'll be able to make, However i might advise against getting one from breeders thanks to the actual fact that it encourages them to continue breeding them this size.

If you opt to have a bizarrely tiny Chihuahua, make certain you are willing to invest some time, energy and cash into keeping them healthy. this suggests you will have to take them to the vet for normal checkups to confirm nothing is seriously wrong, furthermore as treat any current conditions they're experiencing. It's only too common for individuals to make the choice to have a little Chihuahua while not realizing simply how much additional work goes into caring for them.

Something else that you're going to need to bear in mind of with tiny Chihuahuas is that they're more likely to suffer from fractures and broken bones than normal-sized Chihuahuas. If you mistakenly roll over on them within the bed, sit on them while they're laying on the couch (trust me, this happens) or even pick them up the incorrect way, they will experience a bone fracture. Be extraordinarily light and carefully around your new Chihuahua to stop such catastrophes from happening. additionally, you will need to keep larger pet dogs and cats faraway from your Chihuahua, as they will accidentally cause injury to your Chihuahua as well.

Now as you may have read this and have an opinion please let me know your thoughts on the subject as I believe some people exploit  new furbaby Chihuahua owner about the size and just in general give all the honest breeders and owner of this precious breed a bad name ! Miss Mildred is a small Chihuahua but not so small she is unhealthy she is just over 2kgs and is just the best friend I could ever have she is my shadow when I shower she will sit out side the shower waiting for me to be finished ! I think its just so she can lick me haha I love my furbaby ever so much and I don't think that we would get a different breed in the future, if there is anything you might like us to cover in our next blog just let us know in the comments below. Miss Mildred and I wish to thank you all for reading of blogs and we hope wherever you may be thats your day is filled with happiness joy and licks from you furbaby.

Miss Squeak Talks Miss Mildred Chihuahua Fur Everywhere!

  Today is the day I would love to talk about

 Miss Mildred and the amount of fur that falls off  her tiny little body gee whizz  I never thought a little chihuahua would shed so much. But yes the answer is she sheds everywhere on everything and is just amazing how much fur comes off this tiny furbaby so thats what I am going to talk about in this blog, How to deal with a shedding chihuahua furbaby and this is some of the things I do to help around my house the with the attack of the Miss Mildred fur bunnies ! 

As you can see in the pictures our house is wood floors and thats great for easy fur cleaning but we have lots of red rugs and blankets on the inside and outside lounge areas and we have to wash them every week as little Miss Mildred covers them with her fur bunnies but look at her face she just melts my heart and I don't really mind having her fur bunnies on me but I strive to have a fur free house so it can be a little bit of a issue! We have lots of other furbabys in our pack and even though I have to clip them every 6 weeks it seems to be just Miss Mildred the chihuahua thats sheds over everything. So what are some things we can do to try to keep the fur bunnies to a minimum.

Dealing With a Shedding Chihuahua

Because of their tiny size, some individuals automatically assume that Chihuahuas do not shed. The reality is, however, that all dogs with fur are going to shed a minimum to a certain degree. While it may solely be a little bit of fur here and there, different times it will blanket the floors and furniture of your house, making it even harder to keep your outfit clean before heading out the door. Before you go throwing in the towel, though, you must familiarise yourself with ways that to reduce their shedding. While you may already be doing a little of these things, there are probably others to a small degree surprise you.

What you need to understand concerning Shedding Chihuahuas

Both long-coat and smooth-coat Chihuahuas will just one shed. sadly, this can be only one of their "characteristics" that you simply should learn to deal with. Contrary to what many people, however, the long-coat variety tend to shed less than their counterpart the smooth-coat. the explanation for this can be merely because of the lack of an undercoat. If you have ever petted or rubbed your hands on the body of a long-coat Chihuahua, you will have noticed  how soft yet firm their coat feels. without an undercoat, long-coat Chihuahuas will typically shed less than smooth-coat.

Like most dogs, Chihuahuas can shed a larger quantity of fur throughout the spring and summer months once their winter coat is not any longer required. Chihuahuas tend to keep their fur throughout the winter for an additional level of protection against the cold temperatures. Once winter is gone and also the temperatures begin to rise, the shedding can begin once more. Keep an eye fixed your Chihuahua towards the top of the winter season to examine once they begin shedding.

Now for that question that is probably burning a hole in your mind - "How do I cut back my Chihuahua's shedding?" As long as you put forth the effort using the ways listed below, even the foremost furry and problematic Chihuahuas may be restrained. Here are a number of the tried and tested ways to scale back a Chihuahua's shedding:

The first line of defense you have got against a shedding Chihuahua is correct grooming. Brushing a Chihuahua's coat can naturally work to get rid of loose fur that may otherwise fall on the ground or your article of furniture. Ideally, you must use a really fine-bristled comb that is capable to enticing excess fur.In addition to brushing, you should also be bathing your Chihuahua often as a part of their overall grooming routine. Brushing can probably get "most" of the loose fur off your Chihuahua's body, however some of it'll inevitably stay on till it falls off somewhere within your home. Bathing them, however, will help wash away any fur that was missed once brushing. the bottom of your tub might have a pleasant pile of fur afterwards, however that is better than it ending up on the ground of your home

As previously mentioned, Chihuahua tend to shed a lot of throughout the spring and summer months, therefore you will need to focus your grooming efforts throughout this time of year. this does not essentially mean that they will not shed throughout winter, however if they are doing it'll be considerably less.

It should go without saying that vacuuming and cleanup your home more frequently will you cope with their shedding additional a lot of. attempt to get into the habit of vacuuming a minimum of once per week. you may be stunned to examine simply what quantity fur is picked up off the ground once vacuuming.

Keeping your Chihuahua off the furniture also will cut back the quantity of fur on it. Your Chihuahua might not like having to get in their bed initially, however it is necessary to keep your article of furniture fur-free. If that is not enough, you'll be able to go one step more by employing a lint-roller on that. Simply run the lint-roller across the surface of any article of furniture to instantly take away pet fur.

No matter however hard you try to forestall it, your Chihuahua is going to shed their hair. Take a second or 2 to go through your home and establish areas that attract the best quantity of hair. you can then focus your cleanup efforts here after you notice your Chihuahua is shedding lots. Vacuuming, sweeping and dusting furniture are simple and straightforward ways that to pick up excess hair. Also take a moist towel and run it along the baseboards of your home, as pet hair often gets stuck here. I run the moist towel over Miss Mildred as well as it gets the fur off her as well in-between her baths. 

I hope this has help you out with a few ideas on how to cope with your shedding Chihuahua.

For that reason, Chihuahuas do very well in households where their loyalties are often channelled positively: in homes where they're the sole pet (the “King” or “Queen”, you might possibly say), living with different dogs within the same breed, or brought in to families where one owner will dedicate themselves to fostering that special, individual association.

Miss Squeaks Check List For A New Furbaby!

  

 I remember getting so excited to get my little 

Miss Mildred furbaby I thought I had everything

ready for her but I had  forgotten to get a few things.

Just simple things like her dog shampoo and nail clippers. We had a long drive home so I don't drive so my Monster tick the wheel and got us home safe and sound my oldest son Zachary came along for the drive too so we both got to nurse the new furbaby !

She was great in the car. Then once we got home I had a pen for her to be in while she was very small because Miss Mildred has many fur brothers and sisters and we wanted to keep her safe and allow all the other furbabys to be able to smell her and see her as some of the older furbabys don't like other dogs so I was wanting the first few days to go smoothly and to help them all to get to know the new furbaby.

We have had Miss Mildred for 5 months now and all the  furbabys get along really well yes sometimes little 

Miss Mildred gets a bit close to our 13 year old shitzu and he might give her a little warning nip but nothing to worry about they rarely fight. We look after my brothers dog when he worked away and he is a king charles cavalier and is only 1 month older then

Dirofilaria is spread by numerous mosquitoes and is endemic throughout the world. With the gradual warming of our climate mosquitoes are staying active longer annually so year-round  heartworm prevention is usually recommended. The american Heartworm Society recommends that puppies begin on prevention no later than eight weeks of age.

6. Ectoparasites

As with heartworm, preventing flea and tick infestations is way easier than treating them. Your doctor incorporates a form of topical product that may be safely applied to puppies eight weeks and older. Keep your lawn short and keep your puppy out of bushes and woody areas.

Miss Squeak Things You Should Know About Chihuahuas.

Hello and welcome to my blog about Chihuahuas.

Today I thought why not talk about Miss Mildreds breed 

a little bit more in depth so here is what I came up with.

Anyone with a chihuahua furbaby with know you can't be out of there sight for long before they come and sniff you out. As my 

Miss Mildred just loves to be with she is my shadow and if given the chance she will even get in the shower with me i know scary huh,

 We live in Perth Western Australia  as it is very hot in the summer and even in winter time its cold but not cold enough for snow ! So Miss Mildred is about to have her first winter and yes i have everything all at the ready warm furry onies coat with ugg boots and a knitted hat as she gets cold in summer.

My little furbaby is always wanting to be on me in my bed or you know just around me where ever I am you can guess she will be there too , even in the basket of my bike , But enough about that here are a few things you might also need to know about the Chihuahua .

The chihuahua, with its apple-dome skull and enormous bright eyes, will wear a remarkably human expression at times; she or he can wish to be with you most, if not all of the time.

Warning don’t purchase a chihuahua if you don’t have the emotional assets in your heart or the time for the whole love and a spotlight of this hairy  very little pet. they're like kids.

a few generalisations is may be. chihuahuas are swish, energetic, and swift-moving canines. described typically been made as having “terrier-like” qualities; that is, the qualities of being alert, observant, and keen on interacting with their masters. they're very loyal and get hooked up to at least one or two persons.

these little and typically teacup size dogs are definitely unaware of their diminutive stature: they'll be daring with alternative dogs a lot of larger than themselves, and protecting of their masters. they're ferociously loyal to their masters and cautious of any strangers or new guests introduced into the family, that the chihuahua considers to be its personal domain. for these reasons, chihuahuas make good watch dogs (not guard dogs!).

the chihuahua wants a good deal of human contact: touching, petting, and general attention. if the chihuahua doesn't get this, she or he can use varied attention-getting tricks till you offer her/him attention. like exploitation paws to gently scratch the hand, a symbol that claims, “pet me now!” some house owners who have had alternative, a lot of freelance breeds could realize the chihuahua too needy. however, they furnish plenty of love} and affection in return for your care.

keeping more than one chihuahua will greatly ease the dog’s stress once left alone every day if the owner works. they'll contend for your attention after you get home although. though they're naturally light, loyal, and sweet-tempered, chihuahuas are ideal for single folks, the old, the disabled, and shut-ins.

chihuahuas can keep you company for hours by lying on your lap or beside your body if in bed, and treat you as if you are royalty. No one with a chihuahua in their social unit can ever be really alone. they're quite happy in residences, as long as there's enough to play with and explore.

Opinions differ on the way to bath a chihuahua. Some say that bathing too much removes the natural oils from the coat, and so dandruff can result and therefore the coat can look boring. others say that shampooing every now and then with good brands of shampoo will really enhance the shininess of the coat. chihuahuas ought to be bathed a minimum of two times a month, otherwise they develop an unpleasant smell. this is often really as a result of the skin cells that humans sloth off onto the chihuahua! therefore humans are the most contributors to it smell that may develop.

when bathing, pay attention to not get water into their ears, as an infection might develop. You may have to trim their nails a minimum of once a month too. on the smaller dogs, cat claw trimmers will be used. it’s smart to begin a nail clipping routine timely in order that your dog becomes aware of your handling its paws to not mention getting accustomed the clippers. Furbaby owners should even be aware that chihuahuas are susceptible to knee issues like luxating patellas or “weak knees.” this could occur as they grow old. if it causes issue in walking, take your dog to the vet.

Additionally, some breeders give pedigree papers that trace the parents on the far side the immediate oldsters. these papers are important if you propose to enter your new dog into exhibitions and competitions. these certificates and papers make sure that the dog could be a purebred; but, simply because a dog has papers, doesn’t mean it's any more special than a pup bought from a friend.

When shopping for a leash for your chihuahua, keep in mind that its neck is quite little and delicate compared to alternative dog’s necks. you can't (and, indeed, should not) yank your dog around by the leash. a body-harness for little dogs is suggested for a few reasons: safety and comfort. if fitted right, it'll offer your pet a secure and comfy walk, and harnesses additionally guarantee your dog cannot run into traffic or an even bigger creature.

Chihuahuas additionally like many little meals per day, instead of one huge meal. they're uptight dogs. “high-strung” defined outlined as: barks easily, doesn't adapt easily to change in surroundings, is suspicious of strangers and can growl at them, and flips in a circle and jumps around once excited (Like when you get back inside from getting the mail). Your friends might see the worst aspect of them and never believe you once you tell them that your very little furbaby is basically a delicate, sweet-natured dog.

Owners should be terribly sensitive to the actual fact that short-haired chihuahuas, and even hairy  ones, are prone to the cold it is suggested that you just dress your chihuahua in a warm dog sweater for walks. Walking your chihuahua in temperatures that are very low is powerfully discouraged, particularly when there's a wind-chill issue.

In this, as in different aspects of dog maintenance, keep your dogs’ health prime priority, not your own need. it's a characteristic of the chihuahua to choose to sleep beneath a a sheet or blanket. they're going to even get beneath pillows in order to feel comfortable. if you're raising a pup, take care to supply them with a soft towel or blanket in their sleeping space so that they will burrow beneath it. Please don’t be stunned if your chihuahua scrambles beneath your blankets in the dead of night, despite the fact that your house or lodging might not be notably cold.

Chihuahuas are quite the sun-worshipers. they like to cherish the sun for hours and are known  to dwell a spot of sun no larger than the dimensions of a half-dollar! sadly, they're not wise in this regard and can keep within the sun even once panting begins.

watching your chihuahua in hot weather to take care that they don’t suffer from heat stroke is a real chihuahua health concern. chihuahuas do shiver once they’re cold, however they additionally shiver once they are cautious, excited, unhappy, or frightened. this is often a result of having a high metabolism, and is a traditional characteristic of this breed.

Hope this has help a few furbaby owners out ! 

Miss Mildred has fallen asleep while I was typing this she is just adorable and sweet .
