dog website

can anyone suggest a reputable site where i can some information about dogs and where i can get them ? im really intrested in getting a chiwawa

I'd suggest doing a Google search for them and or breeders in your area. Also try kennel clubs.

I'm not sure if you're looking for a show quality dog or breeding stock, but if not I'd recommend petfinder.org, which provides lists of shelters and rescues for your area. If you ARE looking for high end animals, I believe the American Kennel Club website has links to kennels which cater to certain breeds.

Good luck in your search!

excuse my ignorance but can you tell me the difference between show dog and a breeding stock

I think that since your questions seem so fundamental, you need do a lot more research on dog care and husbandry before getting any type of dog.

BTW, this site does have a dog forum. Questions specific to dogs might get a better response if posted in that forum where dog knowledgable persons would be expecting questions.

Show quality means that the dog adheres very closely to breed standards and is (at least superficially) suitable for being shown (dog shows). The fees charged for show quality pups/dogs are higher than for pet quality.

Pet quality means that a dog has certain faults that make it unsuitable for being shown. They are still excellent pets. Can still be registered with a breed registry (ex AKC)

Please note, MOST dogs are NOT suitable for breeding. Only those individuals that win top awards in conformation and/or performance have the genetic quality to be parents.

I would imagine you would have better luck googling it if you spelled it "CHIHUAHUA".
