Finding a Chihuahua stud dog: what should you look for?
- The Chihuahua’s ears have a very particular shape, so ensure the stud’s ears conform to the breed’s standard
- Ask the stud’s owner if the dog has been tested for hereditary diseases common to Chihuahuas, including collapsing trachea, luxating patellas, hydrocephalus and atlantoaxial instability
- Enquire about the pedigree of the stud, and ask to see Kennel Club registration documentation
- The prime breeding age for a Chihuahua stud is between 1.5 and 5 years old, so try to look for a stud within this age bracket
- Look at the stud’s testes – they should be both fully descended
- There are two head shapes of Chihuahua, the deer-head and the apple-head. Responsible breeders will only breed apple-head Chihuahuas
What are the average fees for a Chihuahua stud?
Average stud fees for Chihuahuas are between £100-£250.
Three tips for finding a Chihuahua stud:
- Check the stud’s teeth for any signs of dental problems
- The chance of a Chihuahua falling pregnant increases if the stud and bitch mate two to three times, so discuss this with the stud’s owner to come to a mutual agreement
- Look for a stud that is no larger than 6lbs in weight to ensure a good breed specimen
What is the average litter size of Chihuahuas?
A Chihuahua’s average litter size is three puppies. On average, their gestation period is between 58 to 60 days.
