My Chihuahua weighs 11lbs at 1 year and 3 months old. He measures 30cm at the shoulder, but he isn't fat. Could anyone give me some more info?!?!

Thanks (:

    Hi, The Chihuahua breed standard is a maximum of 3kg (about 6.6 lbs) for Kennel Club registration and pedigrees, but even purebred Kennel Club-registered Chihuahuas can end up weighing more than 3kg... so stop telling this girl that her dog is a mutt; he's simply outside the breed standard. And please, definitely don't put your dog on a diet unless your vet advises it... some people really do talk absolute rubbish. Besides, even if your dog isn't a "proper" Chihuahua, it doesn't mean you'll love him any less. Give your little Chi a cuddle for me.

    That doesn’t sound very reassuring for her >_>

    That’s definitely not a real Chihuahua; I’ve got one myself and she only weighs about 4.4 lbs!

    Not KC registered = not a Chihuahua. The only way to be a pedigree is to be listed on the breed register. This means the dog doesn't have to meet the Chihuahua breed standard, so they might be too big, too heavy...

    So, here he is. His dad's a Chihuahua, not KC registered, and his mum's a Chihuahua, not KC registered. He isn't KC registered, but he is a Chihuahua!!!!!!!!
