OK...I´m sorry my post was confusing. I´ll try to answer all your questions. Here we go:
"Could it be the mask? Why does he have a mask lol. Does the breeder have a website? I would like to take a look at it."
It might be the mask...I don´t think the breeder has a website. She is an awful woman with more than 22 dogs, and she´s got puppies all year round. She sells the puppies under a bridge, in a major highway. I found the photo in the mexican equivalent of e-bay. I´ll pm you the address.
"Seems like he should be with his mom not posing for cutsey pics."
Agree...the saddest part is that he is being sold at this age!
"It looks like a newborn chi? Maybe about two weeks old."
Agree, but he still doesn´t look like other newborn chi´s.
"I'm wondering WHERE you are getting your Chi from.
From those pictures - it doesn't seem to me like its a responsible breeder.
Does the pups parents have all of their required testing done at least? Eyes, hips, elbows etc.
Are the pups parents titled in any way?
Are they registered with the CKC or AKC or UKC?"
I am not getting a puppy, and I would most certainly never buy a puppy from a breeder like this one. I was just trying to find a reasonable priced kennel for a small poodle via internet, and I came upon this photo. I though the puppy looked weird, and I couldn´t stop thinking about him.
I don´t think parents are titled, certified, or even vaccinated!!! I live in Mexico, so he should me registered by FCI, but he isn´t (neither are parents).
"Why do you think something is wrong with him? I really don't know "what way" he looks from the pictures.
Are they your pups or somebody elses?
Does the pup act right? I mean his movements and functions etc....
Is he "acting" normally for a pup that age?"
I just see him weird. I might be wrong, as I don´t know a lot of chi´s, but he seems different from other photos I´ve seen. They are somebody elses puppies...I don´t know how he acts (I don´t even know if he is a he or a she).
"It's not " what's wrong with this puppy ?" but " What's wrong with this breeder !!!!"
I wouldn´t ask that, as I KNOW what´s wrong with this breeder. She´s really an awful BYB. I´ve been following her for years, trying to get her "out of business". Some of her chi´s don´t even look like chi´s, but this photo got my attention. Not sure why.
"If it helps, I uploaded the baby photos I got when I was thinking of buying Louie:
http://flickr.com/photos/sourjayne/ -- I think the earliest one was probably taken at about 5 weeks? I think it's interesting to see how much they change during the first 8 weeks of their life, and then again during the next 8 weeks.
I'm on a chihuahua forum and some of the folks there who breed puppies post pics of the newborns, you can look at some of them for comparison if you'd like. Here's a good one:

Thank you very much. I will see those photos, and save the links.

Kind of looks like the pup has Down's Syndrome. Well, obviously not the people kind of D.S. but I don't think he looks much like his brother. Seems like he's got a shorter nose and bigger head...maybe it's just the mask that's throwing it off?? Why not ask the breeder if something is "wrong" and how they raise their pups, etc?"
YES!!! That´s precisely what I am talking about!!! He seems to have the eyes too far apart, and he seems to be flat faced, and with a head bigger than normal. It might be the mask, or the age, but he still looks different from other chi´s. I did ask the "breeder" what was wrong with that pup (I wrote to her) and she said he seems different because he is a 2 month old TEACUP chi, and teacups have a different conformation than standard pups!!!! 2 months old!!!! Teacup!!!! What can you expect of her after that?
Well...I think I´ve answered everything. I will appreciate any other suggestions as to how this pup looks....DOes he seem stange to you?
