Liebhunde Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Yes they can..I had a very small Chi years ago who had one... it did not completely close. Be careful with it and talk to the puppys breeder about it. Its called the Molera and is a characteristic of the breed Edited November 22, 2010 by Liebhunde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chi4me Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 The Chihuahua's molera is considered a breed characteristic and not a defect. Nearly all Chi's have a molera, and it stays with them for life. It can however become smaller as the puppy matures. Be very gentle with stroking puppy over that area ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
