    Hi Kelly! I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm currently in high school and have been wanting a puppy since i was 4 years old. My family finally agreed to get me a chihuahua puppy coming May and I'm so excited even though it's quite far away and I have all my major examinations in between now and then. I'm spending most of my time watching your videos and they have been sooooo helpful! I am excited but still nervous about taking care of such a darling and your videos are informative and are helping me build my confidence.
    Thanks a lot!

    Dempsey has trained me very well. It's a race against time first thing in the morning though because I have to go to the loo straight away before I take him into the garden, so I call him in with me and talk a lot of nonsense so he waits with me instead of using the pad. until I'm ready. This is when I use my song writing skills! There's everybody 's favourite "Good Morning Dempsey Doo",and a new one," Who Is Mummy's Favourite Boy? ". I know. Genius. 😂😂

And this particular Chi is my favorite color! I’m planning on getting one in the future, and will definitely be doing so through you! So, is the sweet baby in this video considered a cream colored apple head, long coat Chi? And thanks for your videos! They have been a true blessing since I saw my first one when COVID 19 started! God bless you for bringing joy into our homes and hearts! 💖🙏🏻

The sweetie pie in that video is Daisy. She is a long coat cream colored apple head and she will hopefully be having her very first litter later this year. We're expecting her to go into heat any day now. I can't wait to see her beautiful babies.

Not full breed the dad Titch is a dear head and the man Lady is an apple head. I think little peck will possibly have his mamas apple head as he has his dads colours. I'll cry of thats the case.

    Really nice video I’m going to watch more to see if you answer this question. I don’t think there are any sick dogs in this neighborhood and my mom was the sole owner of this house. But I did have my last puppy pass from Parvo so I don’t want to take this puppy outside til she’s fully vaccinated. If she’s pitying in the house can I still get her to go outside? She’s trained for her potty pads I hear but I ultimately want her to go outside.

    I want to emphasize your comments about parvovirus. When I was in high school I worked at a vet’s office. I’ll never forget the dogs that were in isolation because they had parvovirus. It was so horrible, the poor babies. It broke my heart and left a huge impression on me. That was over 35 years ago and I’ll never forget it. Make sure your puppy is protected from this disease, it’s awful.

    Hello I love your channel and I am trying to find as much information on chihuahuas to prepare before I get my new puppy in mid July and your videos have been extremely helpful. You mentioned that loud noises should be avoided until your chihuahua is accustomed to their new home and I am a bit concerned because we use the blender every day to make healthy homemade toddler food every morning for my little sister.
    What I can do to prevent the puppy from being scared of the blender sound?

    • @SweetiePiePets
      @SweetiePiePets  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ooh! I'm so excited for you and the new pup! I would suggest maybe just taking her out of the room if you can and spend some time with her somewhere else in the house. If you can't do that, maybe just reassure her that the blender sounds aren't scary and just pet and hold her

  • @ArtisticlyAlexis
    @ArtisticlyAlexis 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm soon going to be a chihuahua parent in about 2 months & I have a quick question about potty training. I want to take him outside to _"make",_ but I know that you aren't supposed to take him outside until he has his shots if you don't have a yard, which I don'tb. Won't it be confusing for him to get used to using puppy pads, just to be switched to outside?
    My new chihuahua puppy is 2 weeks old w/ a cream coat w/ a light beige cow pattern. It's hard to tell if he's going to be an apple or a deer head yet, because he looks apple, but his parents are both deer headed. Does it automatically mean he'll be deer headed because his parents are?
    He just opened his eyes & is oh so cute in the photos I have so far! I haven't finalized the name yet, but we're leaning towards Rizik, which means giant in Hebrew or Bisel which means small in Yiddish.

    I have a 12 week chihuahua and boy is she a handful! So much so, I went to TH-cam and found you. I have so many questions and concerns I could talk to you for HOURS, so I'll start with just 2. First one, she has an older brother, a much older (and grumpier) brother who she doesn't seem to leave a lone, how can I reduce the stress she causes in her brother without separating him from us since I don't want to make him feel left out? Second, don't tell anyone but she came with parasites, something I wasn't made aware of when I purchased her. She has already tested positive twice and has been given a broader spectrum medicine but is there anything in the form of alternative methods I can supplement to help eliminate them? Last question is related to the previous one, what is the best method to disinfect my floors since I do not want myself or my family to be infected with her worms? Thanks and sorry for trying to sneak in a third question.

    • @SweetiePiePets
      @SweetiePiePets  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello! Sorry so late! I only just now saw your message. Regarding your sweetie pie's grumpy older brother, you might try getting him his own little habitat area set up in the same room where little sister is so that he can be a part of the family activities, but still have his own little space. He should have his own bed, toys and food and water in the habitat area. If little sister has her own habitat area as well, you can have them take turns outside the habitat/getting attention from the family. That's what I have to do with my little Ben because Doctor has ordered him not to play much with my other Sweetie Pies in case it impedes his neck recovery. My sweetie pies are all there in the family room with us, but they take turns being in the crate while the other is out interacting with us.
      Regarding the parasites, I know it sounds really gross, but parasites in sweetie pies are actually SUPER common. Even after treatment, they often become reinfected. So it's best to have a yearly stool sample examined by your vet, then get a prescription if treatment is necessary. Not only are there many common types of worms that dogs can be infected with, there are also other types of parasites such as coccidiosis and giardia which are easily transmitted through bird poop. Birds inconsiderately poop everywhere and dogs naively put their tongue on everything! Just best to have your sweetie pie vet checked regularly with a stool sample.
      Regarding keeping the house sanitized, I use Rescue. Many vet clinics do as well. It kills all kinds of things and is not as toxic as bleach. Rescue is just accelerated hydrogen peroxide and can be purchased in concentrated format and easily diluted in a spray bottle. I have Rescue on my amazon store if you'd like to try it: www.Amazon.com/shop/sweetiepiepets.
      I wish you the very best with your sweetie pie. I'm sure it would've been must more helpful if I had seen your message a year ago. Hopefully you've found some good solutions. Thank you for the channel support!

      Hey there, Depending on how tiny she is I would give it twice a day for about the first week. However if she’s on the larger side and super outgoing and happy and active and eating just fine then low blood sugar won’t be as much of a concern.. hopefully she’ll be well adjusted and happily bonded with her new family within a few short days 💕❤️😍

    Is it unethical for me to get a puppy if I work full time outside of the house? My apartment is very calm and I work nights so I'm hoping if I tire them out and give them a goodbye toy and calmly walk out the door, if I start them young and if I spend all my time outside of work with them, that they will gain some independence. However I of course don't want to give them any separation anxiety while I'm away

    Is there a must have puppy kit we should already have when she's arrived. We have tons of stuff here but I think she should have all her own toys, bed, space etc... what am I missing? I already know where she will sleep at first and where she will go. I wish there was a baby Chihuahua baby basket we could buy, filled with all the essentials!! I'm assuming a good puppy kibble extra small is the best food to start? I have a bath bowl. Small cozy carriers. I need to get lot's of baby chew toys that won't get stolen.... sweaters, jackets... it's February here, not that we're going out but it can get cool inside and I need to take her to the vet so jacket. What am I missing?

      Nutri-Cal is a high calorie supplement for dogs and cats. Ideal for dogs as a source of easily digested and accessible calories when needed. So when a dog is low blood sugar you can give this to them and it'll help them, especially if they're having a hard time eating. Use this link if you're interested in buying some! amzn.to/3da8DS2

    • @SweetiePiePets

      Chihuahuas don't need the same amount of exercise as big dogs, as long as you take her out of her cage and let her roam around the house or backyard while you watch her, that should be enough. It needs a series of 3 or 4, 5-in-1 shots before it's immune from parvo. Around 16 weeks it also needs a rabies shot

    This is such a great video. Thank you. We bring our Chihuahua rescue puppy home on May 30th. She’ll be 7.5 weeks. Where do you recommend that she sleeps on her first night? I’m going to do the two crate setup you suggested in your potty training video with a den crate and potty crate. That setup will be located in our laundry room. Should she sleep there or would it be better to move that setup to our room initially? I know you suggest putting the setup where she’ll go for the rest of her life. The laundry room is where we’ll want her puppy pad to be in the future. I don’t want to do anything to confuse her. I look forward to your input. Thank you. Linda

      @SweetiePiePets  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Linda, congratulations on your new sweetie pie. I’m very excited for you and for her 😍 if you want to teach her to sleep by herself at night I recommend you go ahead and set her up in the laundry room where you want her to use the bathroom for the rest of her life. Likely it will be an adjustment for her for the first few nights and she may be quite whiny since she’s likely used to sleeping with littermates and certainly her mama. Make sure she has a soft cuddly bed and maybe a blanket or a cuddle toy. Give her lots of reassurance before bed time (and a midnight snack) and then see how she does. Hopefully within just a few days she’ll be sleeping through the night. Good luck to you and your sweetie pie 🤗

      If you have far to travel home with her, bring everything she will need to get by. This includes food (maybe the breeder will send you with some), a comfy travel crate with a food and water bowl and soft bed. Also bring potty pads and poop bags. I also like to carry baby wipes with me because you never know what sort of meds will need cleaning. If it’s a super long trip, I recommend bringing tomlyn brand Nutrical with you as well just in case she’s too nervous to eat. Have to keep her blood sugar stable. This is especially important if she’s super tiny. Wishing you and her the very best 🙏🏻❤️

    I actually have a quick question. I am a nurse tech and I would love a little dog to be able to come with me when I go out or stay in when I want to stay home so I'm looking at a Chihuahua. I have a good size setup for a puppy when I'm at work, however I work 3-4 12 hour days and then have the rest of the week off. Is that okay for a puppy?

    • @SweetiePiePets
      @SweetiePiePets  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Excellent question! A young pup would very likely have a pretty difficult adjustment going from his litter mates and mommy to a schedule like that but I do think it’s possible. My recommendation would be to get a standard sized chihuahua so he is more sturdy and less fragile. The smaller ones tend to be more fragile and I do not recommend leaving them home alone that long. Even so, if you’re able to find a larger puppy, you may ask the breeder to keep him until he’s a little older than typical just so he’s got a little maturity under his his belt before making that big adjustment. And finally, I recommend you time his arrival at your place when your schedule has 3-4 days off in a row so he can take that time to bond with you and begin to feel comfortable in his new surroundings. I wish you the very best ❤️

    • @SweetiePiePets
      @SweetiePiePets  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ruth Nixon hello, I prefer a harness over a collar for the simple fact they are less likely to choke if it gets caught on anything. You can find break away collars that pop off easily if it does get caught on anything - you just wouldn’t want to use a break away collar if you’re planning to walk your baby in case the collar falls off outside and puts her in danger of running into the street or other danger. I recommend to look for cat or weasel collars or harnesses since your sweetie pie is too small for a dog collar.

      It can be hard sometimes. I recommend finding a responsible breeder near you and ask them if you can come visit….or at least FaceTime with them and see the puppies on video. If you can’t find a local breeder, you can find one who is willing to deliver to you with a nanny service (I do), or you can fly to their home town and they should be willing to meet you at their local airport with the puppy. Make sure to look up the rules of the airline you fly for their rules on traveling with your puppy.
