Perfumed Lillium Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm noticing a trend towards the deer type as opposed to the apple head chihuahua. Any particular reason? The nose is getting longer, the head is getting narrower and the ears are definitely taking a life of their own. I've been looking for an apple head chihuahua for my mum for the last 10 mths, mum's very partial to the breed and it's the only breed she's ever owned, she lost her beloved Bobby 12 mths ago and she's now ready for another to spoil and dote on. I'm not knocking the deer type but imo they look like a mini foxie esp the short coated type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Not sure why the apple head is disappearing I think they look a lot nicer, the deer type to me don't look correct. It took me ages to find my girl, I waited until an older pup was available (Claudia was 8 months old when we got her) so I knew exactly how she would turn out.

Guest donatella Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If you give up on the Chi hunt , you might want to look into the Poms, in the right lines they have that Apple head, short nose, the coat is very easy maintained with regular groomer visits.

Pjrt Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Keep looking, the right one will come along. Chihuahua are my heart breed. I have owned three, Billy a red long coat, Rita a black/tan smooth, and Joseph a tri long coat. They were all correct breed type with Apple heads and molera. I wonder if there is a push away from the apple dome head in some uneducated circles who may think the molera is wrong or cruel? I can only assume that the molera may be lessened in the deer type? I definitely have more chihuahuas in my future! Donatella, I love Pomeranians but they are worlds apart in temperament from the correct chihuahua temperament. I am guessing the op really wants that chi temperament, as well as the correct conformation to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're quite right in saying "in the right lines they have that Apple head, short nose"….some Poms I've seen do have that slightly pointier nose. The right Pom is mesmerising to look at but mum's heart dog always has been and always will be the Chihuahua. Poms are quite sprightly, gorgeous little creatures, love the way they move.

I understand completely, I'll always have poms. Good luck in your search, keep an eye in rescue too I fostered a guy just as you describe a few years back I nearly kept him he got on with my girl great!

WoofnHoof Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I probably shouldn't have opened this thread, I miss my chis My first one was when I was a kid, we got him from a breeder he had the more apple shaped head than my second boy who was from a pet shop so not 100% sure if he was pure, he had the more deer shaped head. Both big chi personalities though. My second boy, only lost him a couple years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfumed Lillium Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 It is very hard when they finally leave you to go to the Rainbow Bridge, they take a piece of your heart, that's the saddest part of pet ownership, WoofnHoof. My first dog was a Chihuahua, I lost her 11 yrs ago, she will always be remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
