Weight Chart
The chihuahua weight chart is great to use as a guide to estimate
a mature weight within a quarter of a pound or so. This table is used
only as a guide but many things can affect the mature weight of a chihuahua
puppy. Weight may vary depending on it's bloodline, genetics, how
well the animal is fed, etc. It may weigh more or less then it's ideal
weight depending on it's diet and if it becomes obese or not. Weight
estimates before the age of 8 weeks old are usually inaccurate because
the chihuahua puppy is still nursing or being weaned and may be heavier due
to fat from the mother's rich milk. This weight chart only works with
purebred chihuahuas and a chihuahua breeder that is knowledgeable about their
bloodline (not just recognizing bloodline's name, but recognizing
the actual dogs as well).
