I'm a 20 year old student from upstate NY hoping to get a chipuppy within the next year or so. In the meantime I'm learning as much as I can about the breed and gritting my teeth in envy to all of you with your babies already!:D
We have two dogs (my elderly shih tzu and my mothers 125 pound St. Bernard) and two rats and am an avid animal lover.

Pleased to meet you all

Welcome! There are times I am thankful I didnt do a whole lot of research on the breed before buy ( he was an impulse I know, bad mommy! ) If I had read more I wouldnt have ended up with him. I have small kids, another large dog, all the things they say are not good for chi's. Turns out he was a perfect fit for us. It's good to know what your getting yourself into though. I have already dealt with impacted teeth, hypoglycemia, seizures, its good to be informed thats for sure. Anyways glad to have you here since I am new too!

He is fine now. He was scrawny and sickly when we got him. So so tiny. He ended up in a hypoglycemic seizure due to his refusing to eat. Now that he is older, bigger, healthier, he has not had a single problem with it. The teeth, who knows, he just never lost his puppy teeth, he looked like a shark, I am not kidding. 2 full rows of teeth! So when he got nuetered he got his baby teeth pulled. I still worry about him, he is my baby, I dont think it ever stops!
