both of those puppies look like they have very strong jaws (undershot bites) to put it nicely how about a profile photo maybe its just a bad angle, but regardless you are losing type not gaining it ratlady but i am sure you dont see that and never will. you had some decent dogs and even made some cute puppies but i see you on a downward spiral kinda like your mental status does on occasion. you better take off your blinders but then since you have never finished a dog nor do you show on a regular basis how are you supposed to improve your dogs and produce quality? that answer is you are not going to no matter what you believe.

Big Eyes, lots of makeup, cheap floozy clothes!

Hey, thanks for the laugh Bratz aka poser aka troll aka, well, you get the idea! LMBO, if you only knew how transparent you are and how ignorant you prove yourself to be by this drivel ... but just for argument's sake, IF you really do believe what you are saying - and it isn't just the usual "I don't like you so I'm gonna act about five years old and make up stupid stuff about your dogs and say they are poor quality (when they are obviously NOT to anyone who knows anything about the breed) just because they are YOURS" that certain posters here are so well known for, then I would STRONGLY suggest getting your eyes checked for starters so you can better study the Chihuahua breed standard, and then getting some obviously much needed help in your studies from several knowledgeable and experienced Chi fanciers, so you can learn how to recognize breed type!

LOLOLOLOLOL, I should have posted under an anonymous name like you and other cowardly trolls here do and said this was a dog I got from a big name Chi breeder (the very same kennel names my breeding program is HEAVILY built on!) ... would have gotten a completely different response! So very obvious ... so very ignorant ... so very amusing!

Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you (well, not really!) but Remi's "equipment" has been in place since he was 5 weeks old and his bite is level. His brother Shiner's "equipment" has also been in place since young puppyhood and he has a scissor bite, as do the other two pups in the litter. (FYI, either scissor or level bite is acceptable per the breed standard.)
BRATZ, better answer the phone, REALITY is calling! I think all that make-up is causing some kind of dain bramage!


Well, anyway, I sure do hope you like the taste of CROW 'cuz I'm cooking you up a big 'ol heaping helping!

Yum, yum!! Bon Appetit!

Oh my, you ARE delusional ... I'm actually sorry for you IF you truly believe what you are saying.

So, anyway, Bratz, how do you like your crow so I know how to prepare it? Hope you are hungry!

Kandees? howbout tanya? amberliegh? im sure you will have something against all of those so you choose and not you posting anonymously trying to act like someone who has good dogs. you know if you do not let others judge your dogs you will not improve them and if you cnanot take criticism you are not doing your dogs any good only bad. put on your big girl panties and lets see who is right, mmmmmmmmmmmmkay?

Oh you poor dear, you really do make it too easy to prove you wrong. You and your ASS-umptions! I don't think you are being "mean" - I just think you are ignorant! And I know I'm bursting your bubble - yet AGAIN - but I happen to have a number of Chihuahua fancier friends WHO BREED SHOW AND FINISH THEIR OWN AND OTHERS' DOGS (AND WHO, UNLIKE YOU, HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN MY DOGS/PUPPIES IN PERSON and also unlike you are not making uneducated statements about dogs/puppies they have never even seen except in a couple of candid photos taken around the house--silly rabbit!); they have already given me their well-founded, knowledgeable opinions of my dogs/puppies, and they happen to think they are of beautiful type and superior breeding (which I humbly agree they are!). They have also made offers to help me get a couple of my bred bys finished by doing some handling for me since I don't walk so well, for which I am very grateful 'cuz even though I have gotten somewhat better I know someone without my physical limitations in movement would allow the dogs to better show themselves. Plus, I really enjoy watching someone else who is a proficient handler working with my dogs; that way I get to see them from a fresh perspective and can fully appreciate their beauty and movement.

Nice try, but no blinders here ... I happen to be very aware of my dogs' imperfections and have discussed them at length with those whose who actually KNOW the dogs/puppies; actually one of the few maladies I do NOT suffer from is "kennel blindness"! LOL, well, that and prostate trouble!

So much for your very flawed theory about my being "afraid" to have my dogs critiqued! Just the opposite, I WELCOME and often seek out such opportunities for personal growth and am always striving to learn and improve upon even slight imperfections and weaknesses (yes, ALL dogs have them and there is no perfect dog, but I DO want to come as close as possible!). I never grow tired of discussing Chihuahuas with those who are knowledgeable in the breed specifically as well as having knowledge of canine structure and genetics in general and who truly CARE about the breed and its future; and when it comes to critiquing my own dogs, I value and always carefully consider the HONEST opinions of knowledgeable, experienced fanciers who actually know and have seen the dog(s) in question (or at least have seen LOTS of stacked pictures of the dog from all angles, action/movement stills or video, etc.)! Others' opinions are in actuality of very little or no value if the person does not know and has never seen the dog either in person or by way of extensive photos/video. If pictures were enough to judge a dog we would not even have to have "real" dog shows, just virtual, and everyone could send in their photos and judges could pick the winners and points could be awareded and champions could be titled all from one's own computer!


Yeah, Bratz, I think it's already painfully (for you) obvious who is right (me) and who is just being idiotic and has an ulterior motive (you); in fact that much is WELL established! Now, as far as the others you mentioned, as I've always said, I have no problem with an HONEST, EDUCATED critique no matter the source ... as far as that goes, the only problem I can see with some you mentioned is they have a PROVEN TRACK RECORD AND HISTORY of spouting degrading nonsense about other breeders and/or their dogs simply because they happen to take a dislike to them personally, or because the person has a merle Chi, OR just because THEY ARE kennel blind and think no one's dogs are as good as THEIRS or THEIR buddies, therefore every other breeder is INFERIOR UNLESS THEY SAY OTHERWISE! As such, the credibility of such people is, to put it very mildly, questionable, and any statement by such individuals must be taken with a grain of salt and thoroughly examined for accuracy and truthfulness and susbantiating evidence (as there is so often an ulterior motive involved). Now, I realize that's not a problem for you, as you seem to enjoy making statements that are not accurate (you do it so often, you must enjoy it!), but in order for someone's opinion to be worthy of respect and serious consideration the opinion must be based on FACTS and REALITY - not some personal problem or vendetta - and some people I have come into contact with since entering the fancy have historically not been able or willing to put aside their own ego, bigotry and preconceived notions, whether accurate or not, for the sake of the facts. If any who have historically been less than sincere would like to turn over a new leaf and speak the facts without a personal agenda, I would be only too happy to consider what is being said.

Anyone is free to comment on any picture posted to the forum. And if what is being said is accurate and based in fact, well, truth is truth no matter who says it - and I am always happy to consider and apply truth as needed.


Bottom line: You'll just have to forgive me (or not) that I happen to know for a fact just how full of baloney you really are!


Thanks for the smile! Later!

LOLOL, sorry, hun, you don't need ME for that ... you do a great job of it yourself!

I have never seen that type of chi before i do like him tho

Thank you quest ... I have to admit the first time I saw a blue merle Chi (Remi's grandpapa) it didn't really do that much for me; then I saw the pattern in a LONG coat and was really taken with the beauty of the merle pattern how blends and swirls within the long coat Now brindle, I prefer in a smooth coat as it better shows off the pattern and the brindling can get "muddied" on a long coat.

I personally cannot understand becoming involved with a breed that historically has come in ANY COLOR OR PATTERN and then limiting oneself to only keeping fawns or creams, maybe a token black. One of the MANY (and there are MANY) wonderful things to enjoy about this breed is the endless rainbow of colors and patterns that the breed offers. Of course quality, health, soundness these should not be sacrificed for a color or pattern ... BUT you can have both! It is admittedly a bit more effort to find a quality foundation blue, merle, or brindle, simply by virtue of the numbers involved, and simply because many show breeders do not breed for or exhibit anything but their fawns, creams, etc., and they will cull these other colors/patterns. But if one is diligent and patient, quality foundation dogs that bring in these colors/patterns can be found, and there is no reason not to breed for the rainbow after the quality foundation is in place; actually, even more than this, Chi fanciers who are breeding for QUALITY in ALL colors and patterns found within the breed are actually PRESERVING THE BREED AND ITS COLORFUL HISTORY -- which is as it should be.

Big Eyes, lots of makeup, cheap floozy clothes!

Wow, this really is lame, Tan-er-Bratz ... I guess it must kill you to see someone such as myself who has told you and others on this forum who were giving obviously biased, flawed and false information and so-called "advice" to me about my breeding program "no thanks" I'll do this with the good advice of those who give me trustworthy proven to be true information and advice, not you - doing so well in breeding beautiful, quality Chihuahuas -- all without your help. Boo-hoo. Get over it.

Anyone who knows ANYTHING about dogs would know that it is LUDICRIOUS to think that you, or ANY of the other Chihuahua breeders you mentioned, could critique a dog from a candid head shot playing around the house. You need STACKED photos from all angles for conformation, video for movement, to give a truly proper evaluation of a dog's qualities. Your ignorance is showing.

You are simply a troll hiding behind a false identity with no credibility and nothing of value to add to the forum.

Again, you never told me, how do you like your crow? You're gonna get a mouthful!

Of course you are right, Von, it's beyond ridiculous to think ANYONE could judge a dog from this type of photograph.


Trolls ...
