As for spaying, I don't think it would have been an option anyway because I'm not absolutely sure I don't want her to have puppies in the future (apparently there is already a groom waiting on the 5th floor of my aunt's appartment building who is 2 years older and very handsome LOL )....MY chihuahua never had puppies and was never spayed....Is it bad if she never gets spayed but never has pups (and remains a virgin obviously?)?

Here in Greece they have this "if she remains a virgin and not spayed she will go blind" theory...is that true?

Totally changing my thread subject but I thought of it because we mentioned spaying a lot...sorry
She wont go blind but she could die! I just had a very young rescue (approx. 2-3 years) who I took into be spayed before placing her. Because she was never spayed and allowed to go into season and not bred (this is also not a reason to breed) she got pyometra and if I hadn't taken her in when I did it could have killed her, or cost me thousands getting her well.

What is pyometra? It's a horrid infection in their uterus that becomes engorged with pus!

I think you will change your mind about not spaying after seeing the pictures. Mindy had no signs of having it because it was closed, no drainage. Only thing i noticed is she had gained about 5 pounds in 2 weeks or less..
