Yeah, we named him Techichi! Everyone thinks it is odd but we do have a point to it! The Aztecs use to call the chihuahuas (or what we believe were chihuahuas today) Techichis. So we named him that cause they are suppose to originate in Mexico! We call him techi for short!

That is a fantastic name! I have heard many new and different pet names before, but never have I heard one so fitting of the breed! Congrats on your newest family member!

Tell me more. What does he weigh? How old is he? How long have you had him? Have you picked out a puppy kindergarten yet? How is potty training going, are you using a crate? Remember, toy breeds tend to be a tad stubborn when it comes to housetraining so be patient! Consistency breeds reliability! Is he a teacup? If so, 3 to 5 smaller meals a day will help to prevent blood sugar issues.

Right now he weighs about 2 lbs if not less. He is only going to be 5 months and we've owned him I think for 1.5 months now. We aren't doing puppy kindergarten, I will train him myself. Yes, we are using a crate and he is super smart and is nearly potty trained already. He isn't considered a teacup and once he's full grown he should be between 3 - 4 lbs (according to the breeder). He was the runt of his litter. She gave us some liquid stuff in a tube (can't think of the name) to give him if his blood sugar drops too low but he hasn't had any trouble with that. He's a trooper!
