If all you want is another chi, then I would recommend having your chi spayed and then buying another...Simply to breed because you want a pup is not a good idea. You should wait until the female is 2 years before her first litter and remember that she will probably not have just one. Then you have the added costs of making sure that mommy is fed well during pregnancy, that is, if she even takes the first time she is bred. The added time, expense of raising a litter of puppies-chi are one of the least expensive puppies to raise, but they do not leave mommy until 8-12 weeks depending on the puppy. Then there are the vet appointments-hopefully mommy can have the litter without complications, but there is the chance she might need a c-section and then the puppies need to be wormed and have a vet check with first shots before they go to new homes...and don't forget you have to advertise. You may be able to go thru all of this without a worry, but just wanted to let you know that sometimes the expense of the litter is more than just purchasing another pup... :shock: :wave:

And there are those people that purchase a puppy and find they do not have room or want the puppy-do you give money back, do you take the puppy back-these are just a few of the questions and answers that a reputable breeder faces all the time...just to make you think...please do not read anything more into this than what is intended, but I just brought up the questions...to think about....

I purchased 4 female chis before I decided to breed one of them-the other 3 are spayed, they are pets only. I have had one litter of chis (have had other litters of other breeds)
chis were the smallest pups I have had...I learned a lot, but took lots of time...hope this helps..
