I was told by someone that to get the small teacup chihuahuas that you should breed the female back to her father or grandfather. Is this true? Isn't this inbreeding?

this is inbreeding and should not be done. you could end up with very sick and/or deformed pups, and they could even be bigger then normal.

Sadly, this is how a lot of breeders do breed to get the small chi babies so they can ask more money for them. I am a breeder and do not believe in inbreeding my dogs. No matter what a breeder may tell you, this will not produce healthy pups.

NEVER breed a Chi under 4 pounds. And though inbreeding would produce smaller pups, it is disgusting and would only produce weak pups. And for what? More money? That should be classified as animal cruelty!!!!

Yes! She would definitely need a c-section; and that mother could die and so could her pups! To breed a chi you need at least a 3 lb female, any size of male. For tiny ones use a tiny dad, but don't use a tiny female. Please post if you know where to get a 1 lbs chi 'cause I would definitely want one kristina@kristinacarroll.com
