NOTE: Weights before the age of eight weeks may vary, and are not a guarantee. This weight
chart was taken from a book written by Hilary Harmer.  It has been accurate for us within a 1/4
of a pound.  
Cheap food on sale are not healthy for any Pet. We suggest a grazing feeding method, which
simply means keep a good quality “Dry” dog food  such as "Royal Canin Mini puppy" and
fresh water available at ALL times. This will ensure your loved one can eat or drink when
he\she feels the urge. This simple advice will help give you a happy healthy pet for years to
come!  

Clearly, we love our Chihuahuas and want to pass on the best information we can to assist
you in your purchase process. A special “Thank You” to everyone who has visited our site.
We hope we were able to help you make decisions in your desire for a new puppy.

People are always asking ‘What will my Puppy weigh as an adult?’ First, let us say, a tiny
Teacup puppy can cost thousands of dollars in Vet bills  if not cared for properly and can
end in heartache and resentment.  Please use rationale when selecting your puppy. This
chart is a guide only  and is not to be used as a guarantee to your Puppy’s weight as an
adult. Some 2.5 oz puppies at birth may weigh 3 pounds as an adult and some puppies
that weigh 5.5 oz may weigh 4.5 or may weigh 6 pounds  as an adult. There are no Real
guarantees.

A small, unhappy, and no energy is not a wise choice. A tiny 2 pound adult dog is at a
much higher risk for Renal failure, Hypoglycemia, hip problems, and a whole set of other
health concerns. While we have some 3 pounds adult puppies most are between 4-5
pounds full grown. Small and healthy is the best combination.
