as i said in a previous post i'm emailing sanctuaries to see who has chihuahuas or older chi puppies available. from around 5, one got back this morning. they have an 11 month old black male chi. he was abandoned but i do not the whole story yet. i did not go see him yet as they are only open to visitors on weekend till 14:00 and i was working this morning. so i don't know how he looks exactly apart from the pic but he definitely looks on the larger side in the pic. he is vaccinated and neutered.
i replied asking for more info re litter training etc. we'll see what they say, maybe i'll go see him next weekend

still have not made up my mind however esp as i prefer a female mostly because of the litter training. i have to obviously see him and see how it goes... maybe it'll be love at first sight

but i'm not gonna rush into it or anything
