Abby Had Her Puppies!

Her puppies arrived on June third. It was an interesting event because Bash had his home visit for school at the same time.
She has six puppies in a variety of colors. We cannot know for sure the colors of the pups until their eyes open and their nose colors come in. It seems that she has either a silver or a blue female, which is supposed to be rather rare in the chihuahua world. She also has a fawn (if her nose turns black) or a chocolate (if her nose turns liver colored)female. She has a black female, and three males that are all varying shades of chocolate, fawn and black in brindle or sable color patterns.
These colors will change a bit and the patterns will develop. I am excited to see which direction they go!
Abby and Gus are tiny dogs and the puppies weighed 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 ounces the day they arrived. According to the chihuahua growth chart, they will grow to be 2 to 3 1/2 pounds full grown. Those weights are estimates and can vary by a pound in either direction.
