Tiny Loving Canines is a non-profit rescue organization bound by California Law which states that dogs adopted from a rescue by the public must be spayed/neutered before their adoption. Please be advised that the puppies will be spayed/neutered as well as micro chipped during the last week of April and will not be available for adoption before then.
In addition, the puppies will be receiving their first set of vaccinations on April 16th, at 6 weeks of age. For their health and safety, any meetings with the puppies will have to wait until then.
If you are interested in adopting one of these pups, they can be seen after April 16th and adopted as of May 1st. Unfortunately, there are no exceptions to these dates. There has already been a lot of interest in the puppies, so we suggest that you fill out an adoption application and FAX it to (805) 578-2604 if you are interested in one.
Please understand that these are Chihuahua Mix puppies, not Purebred Chihuahuas. Tiny Loving Canines cannot guarantee their size when full grown, physical/behavioral traits, and/or coloring as the father of these puppies is unknown.
On a personal note and these are just guesses, but Nacho and Sofia are clearly both going to have longer hair than the others... Chihuahuas come in two varieties - Shorthaired and Longhaired. While is not usual to see such long hair on a puppy in a Chi litter, we can't guarantee that Nacho and Sofia are Longhaired Chihuahuas either. Sofia's ears are long so I expect them to be more of the "Puggle" version or ‘flop-eared’ version and not erect because Bella's ears are not totally erect...
Bella clearly alerts only on only black dogs, so I suspect that she had a male pack-mate that was also black who she mated with - black is a recessive gene, so to have 4 out of 5 puppies in a litter black, both parents should have been black.
Bella is a Chi/Terrier mix, so she does not have the highly curled-over (typical) Chi tail... We can't guarantee that any of the puppies will have the typical Chi tail in fact... Most likely Mercedes will have Bella's tail because it is so long and probably will not curl over like a Chihuahua's tail normally does... Nacho has the shortest tail of all, so he's most likely to have the greatest ‘curled-over’ tail in the litter... Again, there is no guarantee because these are Chihuahua mixes...
Finally, it is a myth that all males mark - dominance directs marking – females mark also, especially if they are the alpha in the house or the current dog in residence when a new one arrives. It is not unusual to find your current dog will start marking when a newcomer arrives.
And now the puppy weigh-in for those that are following these blogs:
Dulce - 40 ounces
Ebony - 32 ounces
Mercedes - 22 ounces
Nacho - 26 ounces
Sofia - 31 ounces
