Raising a Chihuahua Puppy
The smallest among the Chihuahua breed is termed teacup Chihuahua puppies. For the Chihuahuas, there is not any specific smallest size. So people prefer the little Chihuahuas because these puppies look very cute and because of their tiny size. As the teacup Chihuahuas are very small, they face many challenges and risks in life. So raising a teacup Chihuahua is a challenging task for the owners. There are some tips which you must know in order to raise the teacup Chihuahua puppies.
Small puppies are weak and delicate: The teacup Chihuahuas are so small that they have the risk of getting stamped upon by people and children. If they are stamped upon, they may be killed or seriously injured. So as an owner you should be very careful. You should not allow children to hold them as they may drop them. As these puppies are too small, they become too neurotic and frightened always of getting injured by others. So, supervision should be needed to protect your pet.
Health of a Chihuahua
Concern for the health: As the teacup Chihuahuas are too tiny and fragile, they are prone to more diseases. So as an owner you need to consult the vet for the necessary vaccinations which should be given to the puppy. All locations do not have the same parasites and diseases. So the puppy must be immunized with vaccinations that are provided to prevent the dog diseases that are prominent in your area. The Chihuahuas have thin hair. So they cannot tolerate the cold weather. So as an owner it is your responsibility to keep them always in warm weather.
Chihuahua training:
The Chihuahuas are difficult to train but continuous training is effective. It is good to train the puppies in the earlier time. Training a pup improves its confidence and builds good relationship with the owner.
Potty training: It is your responsibility to potty train the Chihuahua puppy at the earlier time. Different methods are there to train the puppy like paper training and crate training.
Both the methods do well.
