This adorable little puppy only lived 7 months. Her name was Gizmo. Although she is so freaking adorable, this is the reason you should not try to breed super tiny micro Chihuahuas. The health problems are overwhelming and they often have short lives.

Wow this should not be on here, why would you want to promote this, yes it’s cute but people are sheep and now everyone will one
I appreciate your opinion Rebecca but knowing that Gizmo had a very short life will deter others from wanting one like her.
well said i hope her little baby life was a happy one …is mom coping ok? the reason i ask is my mini chi and us of course lost her big brother (a black lab.) and she still is having a hard time …
Thanks Laura. I’m not sure how the family is doing now. I’m so sorry you lost your lab 🙁
Tengo una pequeña también de 2 meses
pretty puppy Josue!
To me it looks quite obvious that the baby had a very large amount of fluid in or on her brain, which can be common in certain Chi’s. I would do a little fact checking before condemning any type of dog. Jmo
Darling little Gizmo, God bless you precious. Your short life was a beautiful gift from above. You could not stay because you were needed in the heavens. ?????? Rest in Peace. xxx
I know, such a sweet little baby. I almost cried the first time I watched this.
My husband said switch off the video because he knows how distraught I become. I am upset about the little lamb.
Oh I’m sorry Wendy! I don’t want you to be upset. Tell your husband I’m sorry.
Hi Cathy
It’s ok, i’m just so sensitive about animal issues. Dear little Gizmo, I just felt so sad about him. ?
I lost my baby Flippy she was 8yrs and 3 months diabetes took her from me
That is so young to lose them Teresa.
Gizmo was adorable. Sorry that she only lived from 7mths. Was the other small chihuahua the mother? If so, she is way to small to breed. Females should weigh no less than 5 pounds. The male should be 1.5 to 2 pounds smaller. RIP Gizmo. I hope others see this video of Gizmo, read her story, learn from it & educate themselves.
I hope so too Candi. And I agree that the dog was too tiny to breed.
I do not at all understand why anyone sees this deformity as adorable. It does not looks healthy at all. People should really stop to breed such ill aminals. Chihuahuas are tiny enough at all, they really don’t need to be smaller. A dog that weights a minimum of 2 kg is healthy and really small. Why do people want dogs, that are the real size of rats? I like rats, but dogs should not have their size! I myself prefer bigger Chis, solid and healthy.
I do think they are cute but so unhealthy.
such a fiesty little angel, now reaching her full potential in Heaven XOX
