About Chihuahua's.
He's very very tiny
But in his little frame
There's power and there's strength
That's a credit to his name.
He wasn't built for hunting,
He wasn't meant for work;
But if he has a duty,
He's not the one to shirk.
He has uncanny knowledge
Of the do's and dont's of man
And he makes the greastest effort
To please you if he can
And if there's danger lurking,
He's fearless and he's bold
And that's why the Chihuahua
Is worth his weight in gold.

The Sire
My job is making puppies, and I get 2 tries at that.
They pat me on the head and say "good
boy" - and that's that....
It's half my job to give 'em teeth and toplines, fronts and
other.
Remember, it's only half my job.
They also have a mother.
It's not my job to carry pups and make 'em grow and nurse 'em,and feed and clean and make 'em strong, that's for Mother and a person.
It's not my job to wean and feed the calcium and food.
And stack and gait and housebreak and make 'em a show brood.
It's not my job to plan the breeding and learn what produces well.
To study pedigrees, learn what's there and pickout what
to sell.
It's not my job to guarantee champs, the breeder picks the pair.
To mate and whelp and feed and show and hope the champ is there.
It's not my job to be on hand when points are given out,
the breeder, owner, Dam and friends take credit with a shout.
It's not my job to deliver a winner, it's only genes I sell.
But let the puppies turn out bad and guess who catches hell !!!".
