| Q: |
Is Lulubelle
the Long-Haired Chihuahua for sale? |
| A: |
She is our precious baby and - no -- she is not
for sale. We are not breeders or sellers
of animals. |
| Q: |
Is Lulubelle
a mixed dog breed? |
| A: |
No, Lulu is a purebred Long-Hair Chihuahua dog.
We have never filed her AKC papers since we have no intention of breeding her to
sell puppies. |
| Q: |
Is Lulubelle
potty trained?
|
| A: |
Yes, crate training
was effective and she was potty trained within 2
weeks. She has not had a "potty accident" inside
the house since then.
Quick Tip on how we potty trained Lulubelle.
It worked for us (although it may not work for
you; this is just our unprofessional opinion):
As a puppy, anytime she was unsupervised, she
would be in her crate (very short periods of
time). The moment she came out of her
crate, we would take her to the designated potty
location. No exceptions. If we were
playing with her, every 1/2 hour-45 minutes, we
would take her to her potty location, also after
eating and napping. Chihuahuas are bright
-- she caught on pretty quickly where she was
supposed to go potty. |
| Q: |
Do
you own her siblings?
|
| A: |
No, her siblings are
owned by family members and two co-workers. We
keep in touch with them quite often. |
| Q: |
Are the 2 black Chihuahuas part of the same
litter? |
| A: |
Yes, those are Lulubelle's sisters (Nani and Soli). |
| Q: |
Why can't I have Lulubelle? |
| A: |
Please see the first reply above. |
| Q: |
What type of dog is Snoopy? |
| A: |
Snoopy is a Long-Hair Chihuahua-Maltese Mix.
He is also highly energetic and happy all the
time. |
| Q: |
Why did Lulubelle
take a bottle? |
| A: |
The mom
developed preclampsia and all the puppies had to be
bottle fed. |
| Q: |
Where can I buy a Chihuahua? |
| A: |
The Humane
Society is a good place to search for one. There
are so many little dogs (and large ones) needing a home. |
| Q: |
Is Lulubelle
a teacup? |
| A: |
There is no such thing
as a teacup chihuahua. That's just a name backyard
breeders have invented. Lulubelle is simply true
to her breed: a long-hair chihuahua |
| Q: |
Does Lulubelle
bite? |
| A: |
No, she doesn't bite. |
| Q: |
Why do you take so many pictures? |
| A: |
Because they grow too quickly and I like
capturing the moment in pictures. Each of
our dogs has 2 or 3 photo albums of their own. |
| Q: |
Are you sure Lulubelle is not a Pomeranian? |
| A: |
Yes, we're positive. The two dog breeds
resemble each other but Lulu is a Chi. |
| Q: |
Your Chihuahuas do not look like the Taco Bell
dog. |
| A: |
The Taco Bell dog (to our understanding) is a
Short-Coated Chihuahua. Lulubelle is Long-Hair
Chihuahua, which looks slightly different. |
| Q: |
Do you want Lulubelle
to be famous like Paris Hilton's Chihuahuas? |
| A: |
Good grief -- No! Lulubelle cannot handle
any more attention. We want Lulubelle
to continue just being the baby in our family. The
closest she comes to being near a celebrity (Martha
Stewart) is when she hugs her Martha Stewart blankie.
Lulubelle does not not wish or hope to become a
celebrity, but it's a cute thought. |
| Q: |
I
want a dog like Stella. Is she a mixed
breed? |
| A: |
Yes, Stella is a Long Hair Chihuahua mixed with
a Maltese dog. She appears to have picked
up the best of both breeds and is highly
intelligent. |
| Q: |
Did you train Lulubelle? |
| A: |
I have
determined that this tiny breed is a bit more stubborn and
difficult to train than other breeds (then again, I'm
not a dog trainer so that could be it). For example,
Lady (my Flat-Coated Retriever Mixed Breed dog) learns
commands in 2-3 days. Lulubelle and Tobi take
substantially longer. |
| Q: |
If Tobi
is a Long Hair dog, why does he look like a
short hair dog in the picture? |
| A: |
Good question! I
shave him during the Summer. I've been doing it
for 8 years and he seems to be more comfortable.
Reminder: I'm not a Veterinarian or a professional
groomer so don't take my opinion on this seriously - use
your own judgment. |
| Q: |
Is
Lulubelle full grown? What color is she? |
| A: |
Lulubelle is now full grown, and she's still a
slightly blonde long hair chihuahua.
Sometimes her fur looks light brown, but 9 out
of 10 times, she still looks like a dirty blonde
doggie. Blonde or brunette, they still get
the same attention. Checkout Missy below.
She's a beautiful brunette long hair chihuahua
and this is a picture of her as a puppy. |
| Q: |
Can I send you payment for 2 puppies? Can you
send them by mail? |
| A: |
Good grief! No!! We are not chihuahua breeders. We don't sell puppies so
please keep
your money and please use it at the Humane
Society to adopt 2 needy dogs. I can't
believe anybody would mail a dog. What a
horrifying experience that would be!! Did
you know there are thousands of Chihuahuas
needing a good home? Yes, there are.
Please adopt a few. |
| Q: |
Can I copy your Chihuahua images? |
| A: |
For personal use....yes. For commercial
use or financial gain....no! In either
case, please "ASK BEFORE COPING ANY OF OUR
LONG HAIRED CHIHUAHUA
IMAGES." These image photos are available as "chihuahua stock
photography" for a
negotiable fee. You would need to indicate
which one you wish to purchase. |
