Things to note when breeding Chihuahuas
What are the precautions for breeding Chihuahuas? When breeding Chihuahuas, you need to pay attention to the fact that the selected dog "mating partner" must be healthy and not too different in size. Keep two dogs together in advance. Do not approach them casually when the dogs are mating, and keep quiet. During the period of estrus, keep the dog mated 2-3 times, with an interval of 12-24 hours between each time. Do not let the dog drink water or exercise strenuously immediately after mating.

1. When you decide to breed Chihuahuas, you must ensure the quality of the offspring. Parents should choose a suitable and healthy "mating partner" for their Chihuahua in advance. Note that you must be healthy and strong. Don’t choose Chihuahuas who look thin and weak.

2. Keep the Chihuahuas together in advance. In this way, the dogs can get to know each other and get closer to each other. Make it easier for dogs to mate. The residence and mating place chosen for Chihuahuas must be quiet and clean.

3. When Chihuahuas are mating, do not approach them casually or disturb them. The environment should be kept quiet and the Chihuahua should be allowed to mate on its own. Of course, if the Chihuahua needs help when mating, the owner who is watching should also be obliged to do so.

4. During the entire period of the Chihuahua's estrus, it must be able to mate 2-3 times, with an interval of 12-24 hours between each mating. This can better improve your dog’s chances of getting pregnant. After mating, the Chihuahua should not drink water or engage in strenuous exercise immediately. The Chihuahua should be allowed to rest first.

5. Since Chihuahuas are smaller in size, when choosing a breeding dog, the size should not be too different to avoid dystocia. When mating, try to keep the surrounding environment quiet and do not disturb them. After mating, let them rest well and pay attention to the nutrition of the food they feed.
