some helpful information on chihuahuas
Here, I've provided some tips on how to get certain colors and or markings on puppies.
---- Breeding a chihuahua with tan markings to another tan marked chihuahua will produce all puppies with tan markings!!
---- Breeding a chocolate (b/b) chihuahua to a blue chihuahua (d/d) will produce chocolate & blue or lilac puppies (b/b) & (d/d) !!
---- Breeding a chihuahua with a white tail tip, white feet, chest, stomach, throat, or ring around neck (Irih Marked) to another chihuahua with the same markings can only produce puppies with those same markings!!
---- Their are two ways to find the "b" gene in chihuahuas: Look for a chi with yellow or ruby eyes or a chihuahua with a brown nose. If you breed that chihuahua with a black one it will be possible to produce chocolates.
---- To create a brindle effect both Eumelanin and the Phaeomelanin must be present!!
Coat Type Tips:
---- Breeding a long hair chihuahua to another longhair chihuahua will produce all longhair puppies!!
---- Breeding a long hair chihuahua to a shorthair chihuahua can produce long,shot,and semi longhaired puppies!!
---- Breeding a short hair chihuahua to another short hair chihuahua can produce long, short, and semi longhaired puppies!!
