This is a very short video but I found it fascinating just watching all those Chis! I couldn’t even count them all! I’m thinking this may be a hoarding situation. What do you think?

[…] A herd of chi's having snacks I find this video quite disturbing. Several of the babies are morbidly obese. Especially the black and white one A Chihuahua Herd at Snack Time | I Love My Chihuahua […]

They are all very cute but some are morbidly obese and really need to be on diets before they have a heart attack.
kilosmom says
Yeah I wonder how they are able to get so much food considering how the guy feeds them by just throwing it on the floor and wthem having to grab it up before someone else gets it.
teresa viala says
Amen on the diet
Alicia says

I hate to think negatively but this looks an awful lot like a hoarding situation.Never should the food just be thrown down like that.It encourages food aggression and overeating!
kilosmom says
You might be right Patricia.

I listened to the video while watching and they are giving them all a treat. Yes there are a few fat (or pregnant) ones, but in my opinion I think these people are breeders.. also look how clean the carpet is and the rest of the area. I love Chihuahuas and at one time I had 8. Having them get sick or old and die is the hardest part. Thanks

You could be right terryfan

I love my dogs but I almost think 3 is to many as I only have 2 hands. How does he know if one is not eating his share. He just threw it down and walked away. Usually I say to each their own but I worry about the smaller or more timid ones and the seniors.
kilosmom says
Good point Shirley. A few of them are obviously getting more than their share so I hope everyone is getting some food.
Verna Morgan says
This definitely looks like a hoarding situation or a basement puppy mill. Those obese ones might actually be pregnant!

Definitely looks like a hoarding situation or a basement puppy mill. The obese ones might even be pregnant.
kilosmom says
I didn’t even think about a few of them being pregnant but that’s definitely a possibility. If he’s hoarding, he probably isn’t good about neuteriing.

I’m not sure if I watched the same video as the rest of you but what I saw was a man giving TREATS to a herd of Chi’s, I saw absolutely no food aggression and there were plenty of TREATS for all, in fact the were plenty of TREATS left over. Yes there were a couple of overweight Chi’s but there were more average sized Chi’s than overweight ones, they looked clean and healthy to me, all though it is hard to say in a short video clip, as it is hard to say this man is a hoarder, there was someone else in the room taking photographs so maybe, just maybe it was a Chihuahua rescue~ jump to conclusions much?
kilosmom says
Good points Ro.
Tracy smith says
No one should have that many dogs!!! Period! Most of them were overweight too! Very sad! One if the reasons Chihuahuas are the top dog euthanized in shelters too! He obviously doesn’t get them spayed and neutered and keeps having more! He is part of the huge problem!!!!
kilosmom says
I only saw a few overweight Chis Tracy. I hope they have been spayed and neutered!
