Q:   I have had several people ask what typie means when I use it in a description of a puppy or dog.
A:   Typie usually means that the dog or puppy is to standard. Usually very sturdy and alert. Also, more than likely, he or she could have a good chance of entering the ring.

Q:   Many people bring up that they want a teacup, standard, or minature chihuahua. People there is no such thing.
A:   To begin with people who use the word teacup are just using a sales ploy. That is to lead people to believe there is such a type of chihuahua. Standard chihuahua is what. A chihuahua was never bred down from a standard size dog as other breeds have. So once again this is not true. Minature chihuahua, once again same thing. The standard of the chihuahua is 2-6 pounds according to Chihuahua Club of America. Sometimes there is one smaller but I never reccomend them, What is a vet going to do if the puppy ever gets sick? Not much! Sometimes they are over 6 pounds, still a chihuahua and a perfect pet for someone or sometimes a dog that can be bred. Remember: NO SUCH THING! There is a club that says there is but I won't even deal with them.

Q:   Are homeopathics good for dogs and puppies?
A:   YES, I use them often. Tea tree oil is used for mange and ringworm and cuts and scrapes. I use it full strength and also diluted. Do not get in the eyes. Be careful what age you use the oil on as it has a very strong smell.

Q:   What is Tahition Noni Juice?
A:   It is a homeopathic juice I use for all types of things. Food poisoning, mange, ringworm, major cuts and scrapes, infections,keep sugar level up on puppies, heard good things about arthritis, west nile, the list goes on and on. I have treated many different types of animals with this juice with excellent results. I am thinking of carring it so customers will be able to buy it on site. It is orginally for humans. Don't forget stings.

Q:   Are chihuahuas good for asthmatics?
A:   That is a good question, since I am a severe asthmatic myself. Yes, It is an old wives tale that somehow seems to be true. I have had several people buy chi's for their asthmatic children and also for themselves. It somehow seems to draw the asthma out of you. One nurse who bought one for her asthma said she would bathe her chi and then lay down with it to go to sleep. She would wake up feeling much better. I also had two professors who were husband and wife from Brazil buy one for their son who had been diagonosed with asthma. He never went on all the medicine they wanted to put him on. I don't know what it does, but it is one wives tale with possible merrit.

Q:   What are good treats for your friend?
A:   Yogurt is one, either frozen or regular. It takes the place for those who want to indulge your experience to give your pet something you eat. Very good for the flora in the colon and tastes great too. Cottage cheese but only a teaspoon or so. I do not reccomend milk, it can give loose stools. Fruit if your dog will eat it. Some love it. Salad, but some people have said onions were not good for you dog, I never had a problem with them if they only had a piece or two. Popcorn but just a few kerrnels. Remember to use Yogurt instead of ice cream.

Q:   What can I feed my dog if he has hypoglycimia?
A:   To begin with they need a high carbohydrate diet. This will keep their sugar up. Also use Noni Juice 3-6 times a day around 2-8cc's per serving. A good diet to feed you dog is like a beef stew. Add vegies,beef,potatoes, make a gravy. No salt. For water use Pedialyte water to make gravy and also for their water. This will help them keep their energy up. It also prevents sudden drops in sugar. I used this diet on a puppy I had until he was over nine months old. He was very tiny but had sugar drops. At that time we did not have Noni Juice. Since Noni Juice I very seldom have to use this diet. When a puppy is not wanting to eat, bring in the Noni, pedialyte, baby veal in the Jr jar, with pet canned milk. I add Noni to the milk instead of sugar. If they won't drink it because of the Noni then leave out the Noni from the milk and give the Noni separately. They will not like it so force it. When doing the veal paste mix in pediatlite water, wet some of the puppy kibbles till moist and mix the three together.

Q:   Should buying a puppy be a snap decision?
A:   NO! Plan your puppy because you should want them for a lifetime. Check your breed on what kind you want and look at the aspects of that breed. Don't just buy on a whim. BREEDERS DON'T TAKE PUPPIES BACK for a loss. If you want to bring a puppy back they will take them with no money exchange back. When you leave with a puppy the breeder has no idea what it has been exposed to, Parvo, Distemper, etc. The puppy must be quaranteened for a time and seperate from the kennel. You may think your puppy has not exposed to anything but they can be without you even knowing. Viruses are invisible not seen by you until the puppy gets sick or worse dies. So do not just because it is cute, Buy because you will be a responsible pet owner and care for them as they love you for the rest of their lives.

Q:   HOW TO PROTECT TEETH
A:   Get Liquid Chlorophyll 100mg. I add this to the water, it will turn it green, but that is OK. Their plaque will begin to chip off and their breath will smell much better in a couple of weeks. Within time it should help their teeth,breath, and immune system. Worth the effort for your babies. I add 1 teaspoon to a gallon of water, once the plaque is under control you can 1/2 teaspoon to gallon of water. That means just a few drops per cup of water. As chis go they do have problems with teeth, also if you put them under every year for a teeth cleaning then you have the problem especially in an older dog of the teeth cleaning not going right and loosing you baby. So watch for age
