About King Louis the Chi Puppy | |
|
|
They are both really good around our chiuahuas, so they play well with other dogs and are really good with our 11yr old also. Gia is a little hesitant when it comes to being picked up, but once she sees King Louis ok with it she comes around.
• Appearance Brown/Black, 10 inches, 3lbs.
• Energy Level High energy during the day but they are really good about sleeping through the night.
• Food Natural Balance (Grain Free) dry food, 3 times a day, 1/8 of a cup each time for each.
• Adaptability King Louis adapts quickly and likes to learn new things. Gia likes to stay back and takes time to get comfortable but is willing to try things after she sees King Louis do them.
• Behaviors They both like chewing on clothes, fingers, and toes. King Louis also chews on pee pads.
• Human Social Skills They are both friendly, but Gia is more cautious at first. They are good with both genders and seem to like meeting new people.
• Animal Social Skills They are really social and play well with other dogs as well as people. They are very playful and are happy playing with toys, each other, or our dogs. They also enjoy just being lap dogs at times so it is a good mix.
• Obedience None; they are starting to understand "No".
• Training No; currently potty training on pee pads.
• Personality Quirks Gia loves to curl up in your lap or climb up on your shoulder and cuddle. King Louis like to explore and find new things to play with.
• Ideal Home No young children, preferably a home with no other dogs (due to their small size), adopted together (because they are dependent on each other), and a fenced in yard.
King Louis and Gia are two peas in a pod. King Louis is the little explorer , and is slowly conquering the pee pad more each day. Gia finds comfort in keeping Louis in line and keeping your lap nice and toasty. When they come together they are inseparable and comfort each other by curling up for a nice nap in a cute brown little ball. They are kept gated off in the master bath each day with their favorite toys and a nice bed and blankie. When let out they run free through the house chasing thier bigger foster brother chihuahua's, and burning off that pent up energy. They play and co-exist perfectly with their bigger brothers, but are not left alone yet throughout the day due to their size. Gia loves to chase her foster brother Machete around the house, and Louis loves to play tug of war with anyone that is willing.
Exercise: Both King Louis and Gia love to run around the entire house and porch. On weekends, we let them explore the yard under supervision and they enjoy sun bathing and running around on the grass. They like to practice keeping up with the bigger dogs by chasing them and avoiding furniture in the process like an obstacle course. They like facing off with each to get the best toys and burying in their dog bed selections.
Teacup puppies may be preferred by people who live in apartments or who travel often, as the dogs are highly portable. They can be contained safely and humanely in small areas, and their small stature makes them appropriate companions for people who can’t handle a larger animal. They also are relatively easy to clean up after, when compared to larger breeds, and cost less to feed. Most teacups also look like puppies for their entire lives, something that many pet owners find to be an attractive trait.
Teacup puppies are much more expensive than their regular-sized counterparts. Many teacup varieties have curly hair that requires regular grooming and upkeep. Because of their smaller stature and a tendency to over-breed teacups for profit, many teacups are prone to health problems,
Teacup puppies don’t always thrive well in an environment with children or larger dogs. Their frail nature can leave them susceptible to injury from rough play or handling. Some teacups have a nervous nature, which can make them hard to take in public.
