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

He does look on the bigger size, but pictures can be soooo discieving (sp?)

Good luck, hope he turns out to be the one x

I agree the picture can be deceiving....but he doesnt even look chi to me a cutie non the less

Best wishes in your search.

i emailed back asking whether he's a chi x and asking for other info about him. since his face is not very chi like... but i got no reply from Sunday :s i understand they must be busy and everything but i imagined they'd be more helpful towards someone who would like to adopt :S

i think it's back to a reputable breeder in some time since i'm finding only very huge dogs in sanctuaries

I think they like to call them a Chi because Chi's are so popular and they think more
people will show interest. He does look quite large in the photo, especially next to the
other dog. It's all in what you are looking for in a pet
