What is a blue chihuahua? A blue chihuahua is like any other dog of the breed, but with a grey coat that has a blue tinge in it. This bluish color comes from careful chihuahua breeding. These dogs are usually very expensive, and can cost at or more that $3000.In order to produce a blue chihuahua, a lot of selective breeding is involved. For example, if a black and tan chihuahua, and a chocolate chihuahua are bred, the result very likely would be a blue chihuahua. The key is that both of the parents must have the blue recessive gene present. But even then, getting the desired results isn't guaranteed.
Because of the complex breeding of blue chihuahuas, these dogs could have certain defects, like skin problems and alopecia (fur loss). Two blue chihuahuas should never be bred together because the introduction of defects could be doubled.
That's it, a blue chihuahua is actually a grayish-blue colored chihuahua. If you are trying to buy a blue chihuahua, find a reputable breeder that does not only breed for coat color.
