Hi, I have a longhaired chocolate bitch. I looked out for her for a long time and had to travel to Derbyshire to get her. You won't find one easily, unless you are very lucky. Litters, can be anything from 1 to 7 pups (more usually between 2 and 4 pups). Both litters I have had were 2 pups. Apparently C-sections are not rare with Chis. Both my girls had no trouble whelping though. There is no such thing as a teacup. They are runts or sickly pups. I have never bought with size in mind. I've always been more interested in health, the parents, the pups breeding, etc. Teacup is usually referred to as the "t" word with a lot of Chi people. If anyone enquired with me for a "teacup" Chi, I'd never put them on a waiting list for a pup. You can look for breeders on the KC website. There is usually a list of breeders with puppies on there. With regard to your dogs with a Chi, I am not sure whether this would work. It has crossed my mind many times to get a large breed dog, as I live in a detached house next to a field and worry about my house getting broken into for my Chis but I am not sure what large breeds are good with Chis. Obviously, because of the size difference, one small accident and the Chi could be dead. Dramatic but I know someone on a Chi forum that this happened to. The Chi and her large breed (can't remember what it was now but have a feeling it was a lab or something like that) dog both ran for a ball and in the excitement the large breed landed on the Chis back, snapping his spine. Heartbreaking. Every time I think of looking at a large breed I remember that and think that I can't chance it. Probably a freak accident but once you've heard of that, it does worry you. If you decide you do want a chocolate longcoat Chi, you had better seek out a breeder and get on their list, as chocolates are very rare in Chis. From my experience, most Breeders keep any chocolate pups they breed. I certainly would never part with a chocolate  Don't tell the Hubby though, he thinks I won't be keeping any more pups I may breed in the future but a blue or a chocolate has no chance of getting out of my grips Oh and Luxating Patella can be a problem in Chis (as well as many other toy breeds) so make sure that the parents of any pup is LP free. Any reputable breeder would not breed dogs with LP.  |

My friend breeds chis - she has chocolates crop quite often in litters (only a litter a year) I don't see them as a rarity at all - they are stunning - hers are long coats. They get on great with my Malamute and play off lead often so size doesn't need to be an issue, but if they shared a house I would be careful in case of accidental squishing! |

So do you think the facts that I have 2 large dogs would put off breeders? It's not something that would be happening in the near future so im just looking at the moment but if the fact that i have my 2 would put off breeders off I may aswell give up now as i'd hate to waste breeders time on this x |

Don't be put off by anything I have said. Actually, everything I did say Muddiwarx disagreed with, so maybe the answers lie with Muddiwarx Seriously though, despite what you have been told in an earlier post, Chocolates in the Chi breed, that are KC registered, good breeding, to breed standard, all the stuff you are seeking, you will have to either wait a long time or be very lucky indeed. |

Thanks hun, I understand the concerns with big dogs I just didn't know if it would be a big problem or not. I'll be taking everyone's opinions on this matter as i dont want to go into it lightly when i decide to get one. But like i said it wont be happening anytime soon as my 2 are very immature at the min and i wouldn't want to risk a small pup with them x |
