I think my breeder has lied to me and we're hoping to get some money back because she told me Tia was a toy chihuahua meaning she's smaller than usual and won't grow to be over probably about 3 1/2 lbs. She does have a small body structure, but the breeder made us pay $1200 for her. She told me I could show her if I wanted. My breeder said that she has Tia's dad but went to another breeder for the mother and bought her for breeding but realized she was too small... Well I didn't think about it at the time, but if she's too small to breed how can I show her? And when I took her to the vets he mentioned the large hyrnia she had from her cord and that when I get her fixed we could remove it. He also said you can't show chihuahuas with one of those....

The breeder never mentioned to me the bump at all! She told me she was 2 lbs, I looked at the vet check papers when I got home and it says she was 3 lbs in november (I got her December 19). The breeder said she was 4 months and i think that's wrong but I'm not sure. She was born August 8.

So I think maybe I should get my mom to call her or send her an email. I'm worried. And her being 4 months (so the breeder says) for $1200? You'de pay that for a new puppy only a few weeks old!

EDIT:I held her on my scale and it says she's 2 1/2 pounds. It's a good scale, we got it some time last year. So maybe they said 3 lbs on the paper as just to round it off because it had little digits behind the 2 1/2. Who knows

I am so sorry to hear that she lied to you! and 1,200????? holy cow!! only if she is show potential would I even consider paying that much for a pup. I sell mine for $450 either male or female.

I to get aggravated with people advertizing "Teacup" or "Pocket Chis" then charging an enormous price!! My Chloe only weighs 3lbs and is 15months. Her parents were both 5lbs Chi's, she is simply a very tiny Chi. So far she has been extremely healthy...just a verypicky eater. But, we love her sooo much! I will try to post some of her baby pictures. They are just incredible! She looks like a little mouse

thankyou so much for that info! i had a freind who wanted a "tea cup chi" and he did not believe me :angry7: when i kept inforcing there was no such thing!! thanks

Blessed is the person who has earnt the unconditional love of a dog.

yeah you were definatly cheated out of the money, but unfortunatly youll probably never see any of it back, show size by akc regognition is 3-6lbs, but theres alot of other things to consider other than weight, headshape bonestructure, stance, coat, ear position, lol, yeah it gets tedious lol.
just cause shes not of breeding size doesnt mean she cant be shown, but to find out about her show life youd have to try confimation and see where she placed in puppy show.

ive seen another thing going around other than the teacup issue, and thats the "Dearhead chihuahua" thing
so many people are now trying to sell there "RARE DEER HEAD CHIHUAHUAS" for upwards of 750-1500 and of course this is because of the taco bell and paris hilton chis bringing a popularity in this "brand new rare breed..."
what will people think of next, teacup greatdanes?!
