How much do chihuahuas cost?

We are planning to get a baby Chihuahua as soon as we save enough money. Can anyone provide insight into the typical cost of a Chihuahua? I’ve heard prices can range from $100 to $400, but I’m not sure if that’s accurate. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

firstly…DO NOT go to a pet store…those dogs all come from puppy mills, and are so drugged up to keep them ‘healthy’ after they come in…that they usually all have pneumonia when they get home…so theres TONS of vet bills…and who knows what other problems could be there from bad breeding.

i would agree to go to a shelter…there are tons of chihuahuas coming in all of the time…but, chihuahuas are kinda known for having attitudes…so that could be a problem also….

i would also suggest going here…http://www.akc.org/classified/search/index.cfm?use… just fill in the feilds needed and they will give you a list of breeders that have puppies RIGHT now…they also have the link for the Chihuahua Club of America…and they also have a list of registered breeders to select from.

and all of these breeders are inspected by the AKC and the parent clubs to make sure they are following good breeding practices and not becoming a puppy mill…and most all of the breeders on there show their dogs up to a Champion Title…so you know they are going to look good. lol.

a puppy can cost anywhere from 200-700 dollars…but that should NOT be the main factor in deciding where to get your puppy…a cheap puppy (175 bucks from a pet store or back yard breeder) is going to be cheap cheap quality…but also dont be fooled by the bad breeder who charges allot..

just do your research and look at a LOT of different shelters and breeders till you find one that your comfortable with.

There are trainging techniques that you can use. Learn here https://tr.im/uPp6S

HEEL:

1. A dog straining on the lead is the result of improper early heel-training. Reinstruction will be required to remedy the fauly.

2. Correct positioning ensures that the dog can anticipate the owner’s actions such as a change in direction, sudden stop or new instruction.

3. A lagging dog can also indicates bad heel training. Frequent sharp tugs on the check chain should encourage the dog to keep up with its owner.

SIT:

1. On the command ‘sit’, press the dog’s hindquarters firmly down with your left hand while keeping the dog’s head supported in the air.

2. Keep the lead taut in the right hand, giving it a slight upwards pull as you press the hindquarters down to help the dog respond.

3. Crouching down beside, but not over, the dog may prove helpful in teaching more unruly dogs to perform the exercise.

SIT STAY:

1. Pul the dog in the sit position by holding your hand up in front of the dogs face and giving the command ‘ sit’ in a firm voice.

2. Then move in the front of the dog jerking on the check chain if any attempt is made to move. If the dog does move, start agian.

3. Keeping your hand high up in front of the dog, and repeating the command ‘stay’, back off bit by bit, increasing the space between you.

SPEAK:

1. Tell the dog to speak, if he doesnt, the owner must bark to encourage the dog to bark

2. soon enough the dog will bark

Depends on who you’re buying from. I’ve seen breeders charging in the thousands for them (please don’t pay this much). I’ve also seen them in the local newpaper for as low as 250. You probly won’t get any lower than that.

I’d like to add my agreement to adopting if you can. Not all shelters are going to have chihuahuas(I hardly see any at my shelter) but you should look there before you look for a breeder.

I’ve heard it’s around $200-400 for a purebred chihuahua. Ask whatever breeder you buy it from to give you the pedigree papers though!

Adopt from a shelter. Many times they have pure breds. my shelter has 2 purebred chihuahuas; so shelters dont just carry mutts like many people think. Plus they are much cheaper like 50$-250$ [seinor to puppy].
