chiuahuas shedding dry coat recipe for soothing bath ;

Question
We are looking to purchase a blue fawn lon g haired chiuahua puppy.  We just lost our yorkie of 16 yrs.  Will this chi shed about the same amount as the yorkie?  i know all dogs shed, but as long as the shedding is moderate we can deal with it.  We have a child with minor allergies and do not want this to become an issue.  Please advise.

                        ***RECIPE


This bath can soothe rashes, bites, and just plain itching......

1 Cup rolled oats
1/2 cup corn starch
1/4 cup lavender buds
1/4 cup chamomile buds (flowers)

First, use a food processor/blender to finely powder your oats. When they are
powdered, add the lavender and chamomile. Blend together to as fine a powder as
you can.
Mix in the cornstarch by hand, just enough at a time so it doesn't clump.
Now place all your ingredients into a cloth pouch (muslin or some similar fabric
bag, 'tho I used an old knee-high nylon stocking), tie it off and throw it into
a lukewarm bath for your puppy or dog.
The water will be nice and milky
(you may have to squeeze the pouch in it a few times).
Try & soak your puppy/dog in it for about 10 minutes if you can, using a cup or
pitcher to get his/her head, chin, and neck wet with the soothing water too.

There is nothing in this recipe to do any harm if it accidentally gets into eyes
or mouth. No need to rinse, but you can.........lightly..........if you want to.
Make sure the water is not too hot, as any excess heat will only cause the
itching reaction to worsen.
*This is a great bath for YOU, too!!!*

I used this recipe on my Aussie Holiday when she was doing nothing but
scratching & biting herself and no reason could be found for it. It helped
TONS........bonus was her coat was so nice and soft afterward and stayed that
way.



Hello Bill - Sorry about your Yorkie!  Now, a chi ( long or short hair) they shed  - almost all year round.  SORRY-
I have a Maltese - no shedding ever.

My short haired Chi does shed on and off all year long.

BEST wishes
