How Much Should a Chihuahua Weigh?

How much should a chihuahua male dog weigh? He is now 7 months and weights 9.5 pounds. I got him at 10 weeks and he was 5.5 pounds then. Supposedly mom and dad were pure chihuahuas, but I don't think so. He looks mixed. I just want to know when their breed stops growing.

He looks like a pear head chihuahua . Which is what you get when you breed a deer head and a apple head

Wow! he is a big boy. did you look at the papers from the father and mother? or did you have a chance to see how big they were? He sure is a cute baby.

I have one that looks just like him about that same weight and he is probably 16 weeks. so his mother is a deer head his father was an applehead and he mated with an applehead I was just reviewing info about chi chi's size because he was so big and both parents were AKC so we know that the are purebred and now I know why.

Mine looks exactly like yours color and all, and he was the only one everyone else was small even both of the parents. His father is only 6 pounds maybe 7 and the mother is probably about 5 and a 1/2. So yeah I think you have a big boy chi chi. Cutie.

Have had Chihuahua's for years, and this is not a full blooded one. I would bet anything. It looks like a sweet dog, though, and I am sure you love it!

A chihuahua stops most of their growing at 6 months old. It may gain a tiny bit after that, but, just in body mass, their stature stops at @ 6 months. Your little guy isn't full bred, I have an old 9.5 pound chihuahua mix with pom.

She is really fat. So, you're little guy is a mix, but, he's really really a cute one.

I have a chi too that had papers with him and he is about 8+ pounds now at 9 months old. He is kind of long in his body though. He has ears just like your little dog...nuthin' but ears really, LOL! I was not totally convinced that he was purebred, but like I said, she had the papers for him so dunno. But, he wont get any bigger than he is. You could always take him to the vet if you were really wanting to know.

The breed standard according to the AKC for a full grown chihuahua is no more than 6 pounds. If yours is bigger than this it is either over weight or not full chihuahua.

Yes absolutely I have a 9 pound mom and a 6 pound dad both AKC, she had a 13 POUND son, definitely purebred according to DNA both sides. So it CAN and DOES happen. Ive been at this 34 years and NEVER owned anything BUT AKC chihuahuas, had the same blood lines 6 generations, every now and then I have a 3 1/2 pound puppy as an adult and rarely a BIG mutant chihuahua..

so DNA was the only way to solve my curiosity. Verdict: PUREBRED CHIHUAHUA
I UNDERSTAND genetics on color and coat, Im rarely surprised by that, but this remains a mystery to me. I only have 3 girls at this time, Im retiring but I know it happens because I have seen it.
