Hi Melissa, welcome to the board! I'm pretty new to Chi's myself, just got my first little girl this spring... and I already want another! lol Stick around, this is a good place to be!

Hi Melissa! Welcome to the list! IF you are planning to show and you don't know what colors chihuahuas come in yet, I think you've got a LOT of research to do before you buy a chihuahua, to be honest. All puppies are cute, most are NOT show quality. You want to know what you are looking at BEFORE you get caught up in a tiny bundle of cuteness. OR you may have a house full of cuteness before you can stop yourself. HAHA!
Start with the Chihuahua Club of America's website. Look at the standard there. Google will be your friend. Look up some winning show dogs and see what they look like. More importantly see what they looked like as puppies. You will probably be buying puppies and they look a LOT different than adult show dogs.
There is a breeder that has a site jammed with information also. www.prouxchihuahuas.com
There are links galore all down the left side, it is well worth keeping in your favorite places.
Also be aware that the merle coloration, while so many of us love it, may be disqualified from the show ring soon. Don't let anyone sell you a "show merle" at this point. Assume any merles will be pet quality now and you won't be disappointed later.
There are several large chihuahua lists on Yahoo. I would also suggest you join one or two of those lists and start soaking up all that information. You may also find a mentor there that can look at pictures of any pup you might want to buy, and help you make good decisions.
And last but not least, don't buy a "show quality' chihuahua from a breeder who has never been to a show. You are asking for heartache there. I see it ALL the time, and most of those puppies are so far from show quality it is laughable. I don't have show quality pups here, so I can't help you with that. If you tell me where you are located, and if shipping is an option, I can point you to a couple breeders that have show quality pups that I actually trust though. Hope to see you around here a lot!

Wow, I also missed this post! Welcome Melissa, I think you will find all the help you need here and more to help you with your decision! Good luck :)
