Just wanted to introduce ourselves and to also say thanks for your help in the health forum. I have a 4 yr. old male chi. Lil Tyke, who has "World's Most Perfect Dog" written on his first picture. That says it all. He was supposed to be a tea cup, but is 15 lbs! The vet says he's all chihuahua, but a larger variety. My supervisor at work fell in love with a chi and we spend more time talking about our pets than we do our own children! I don't have a small enough pic attachment to send, but will work on it and send when done.

AND THAT JUST PROVES THE POINT THAT THERES NO SUCH THING OR NO WAY TO TELL A TEACUP

Welcome to the forum! I know what you mean about talking about our fur-babies more than about our skin kids---though my daughters are 30 and 22, and so Tucker truly is our empty-nester baby.

Sweet! I love when owners of bigger chi's join. I have 1 chi, Mr. Peepers,who is also very big. Last he was weighed, he was exactly 10 pounds. He is not overweight either just big. Who knows maybe he'll make it to 15! I was told he would be 5 pounds, but I love him anyway. He's a sweetheart. I still want a 5 pound baby though!

Welcome! :wave:

Hello and welcome!

My Chi, Zeus, is also on the larger scale for Chi's. He's a perfect and healthy 10 pounds. I look forward to getting to know you and seeing pictures.

Welcome to the forum - you have the best of both worlds: all of the Chihuahua antics that keep you laughing without the worries of him being as fragile as a 3 or 4 pounder. (which would derinitely be a good thing for clumsy ol' me!!)

My Dobbie is 10 pounds

Welcome. My Dobbie is a full Chi and is 10 pounds. When you tell people you have a 10# Chi, they look at you like you're WEIRD! But it's true. Now that my friend has a 3 month old female (1 pound, 13 ounces), I want a puppy. I don't care it it turns out little or a 10 pounder, just one of those c-u-t-e puppies. (Don't I sound like an empty nester?)

Hi and welcome!! I am mom of Lola who I adore. I have to tell you, I just took my pup to the vet this morning and he weighed her and she has gained a half pound in 2 weeks, he also told me from looking her over, that he expects her to be about 5 pounds!! She is 5 months old, I really thought she was gonna be one of those 2 or 3 pounders. That is ok, but I guess we just never really know, he even told me she could suprise us and surpass that too. I just love her so much it doesn't matter. I will tell you also, that maybe it is better for them to be a little bigger, cuz she does seem so fragile right now!!
Enjoy the board, you will love it here!!

[jensmom]

hi

I am new also, still needing to post pictures. A chi is a chi no matter what size. Jenny is 6 lbs. and I always hear others say my chihuahua is 4 lbs. It doesn't bother me. They love us no matter how big or small we are or what we look like. We love them the same, no matter what they weigh.

I am pretty sure I read in a book that Chihuahuas usually weigh between 3-6lbs. so it said that is the norm.....I think as long as your Chihuahua is healthy then it shouldn't matter if it weighs more then the norm 8)

HI, I have 1 chi ..his name is Mikey. He is soon to be 5 months old and he is tiny! I hope he gets bigger though I doubt he will. I would love for him to be a big 15 lbs. :wave:
