FAQs

How much do deer head Chihuahuas go for? ›

Deer head Chihuahuas can be expensive because they are a specific type of Chihuahua. Puppies can range between $300 and $1200, depending on the breeder you are purchasing from and the lineage of the dog.

It does not always help to look at the parents. This is because a blue can be produced from a tan and a black or Chihuahuas of other colors if both dam AND sire have the recessive blue gene that is passed down to the puppy.

How Do Chihuahuas Get The Brindle Coat Pattern? Brindle coats are a less common color in Chihuahuas because it requires one or both parents to carry the recessive brindle gene. If one parent is solid colored and the other is brindle, chances are the pups will be mostly solid.

The Chihuahua dog has a life expectancy of between 14-16 years making them one of longest living breeds.

Apple head Chihuahuas are susceptible to a wider range of health problems than deer heads. The abrupt angle at which the snout meets the head means these dogs are more likely to suffer from respiratory problems like reverse sneezing and tracheal collapse, while dental and eye issues can occur as well.

White is, arguably, the rarest color of Chihuahua around. An albino Chihuahua isn't the same thing as a white one, but both are the result of a lack of pigmentation. The white Chihuahua lack melanocytes, which give the coat its pigmentation, but retain the eumelanin needed to give them black eyes, noses, and paws.

Personality / Character

Female Chihuahuas aren't quite as warm and fuzzy as males are, and they can be quite standoffish with everyone except their favorite human. They don't demand as much attention and are more likely to be happy when left to their own devices.

Does your Chihuahua spend time alone at home whilst everyone is out? - If yes then this is a great reason to have another as Chihuahuas get extremely lonely so crave company whether it is human or their own kind.

Specialized puppies, like “teacup” Chihuahuas, usually cost extra. You can typically find puppies in most areas for around $375 – $2,420. The most expensive dogs usually belong to show bloodlines and line up with breed standards the best. You can also purchase a puppy from an unprofessional breeder.

How much bigger will my Chihuahua get? A Chihuahua will finish growing around nine months of age. They may continue to gain a little weight from 10 months old to 1 year old, but this weight should not be significant. If your Chihuahua is older than nine months, they are likely at their full size or close to it.

What makes a lilac Chihuahua? ›

Lilac Dog Characteristics. Dilute coloration, which is what causes rare and exotic colors in dogs, is caused by gene variants. Several variants result in dilute colors, which are often light and pale shades of other colors. For example, chocolate can become silvery red or lilac, and black can become gray or blue.

Most, if not all, teacup chihuahuas will need to come from a reputable breeder, and this can cost between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the coloration of the pup's coat, the registration of the breeder, and the puppy's lineage.

The cost of a Chihuahua puppy from a reputable breeder can range from $800 to $2,500. The cost often depends on the quality of the parents, pre-adoption tests and care provided by the breeder, and the health and quality of the puppy.

The cost just for the dog can vary enormously. If you're looking for a purebred apple head, with AKC pedigree, and in a desirable coat and color, then the price can easily be over $600, if not well into the thousands.
