At the same time, learn some important steps for raising Chihuahuas, so you’re not left wondering what to do next.

First things first, before you let your chihuahua breed, make sure your chihuahua goes through selective breeding. If your chihuahua doesn’t do this, it can produce unhealthy puppies that suffer from numerous health ailments.

Like humans, diseases can be acquired by heredity.

Before proceeding with the breeding of Chihuahua. Take note of the following preparations:

First, you’ll need to set aside money for expensive health screenings. Then you have to pay stud fees. You will definitely need to set aside another sum of money for the delivery. If your girl is unable to give birth normally, she should prepare for an unexpected C-section.

When the puppies are born, you will have to prepare extra food at all times. And of course the puppies will need their shots too.

If you think that all this is going to be a hassle, it means that you are not ready for it.

These are just the initial steps.

If you really want your chihuahua to produce healthy puppies, always remember to spay her before breeding. This will also ensure that your chihuahua is safe and healthy after birth.

When giving birth, if you still have no idea what to do with the new puppies, go to the vet and consult him. The last thing you would do is endanger your harmless new puppies.
