OMG those poor babies... As much as I lecture to stay away and dont support the puppy mills. I think I would feel differently if I were to hold them. The picture of the little chi doesnt look right, his eyes arent set right they are almost off to the sides of his face and his head is really domed, chihuahuas are prone to a disease called hydrocephelus (water on the brain), this doesnt mean its a death sentance for this cute little pup. I have a friend with a yorkie (well 2 friends) both their dogs have hydro, one of them is 9 years old hes a little slower but gets around in life really well. My other friend her dog is 2 or 3 and doing very well also.
I really hate to say this and I cant beleive Im saying this... If if bothers you so much that you left them go and save them. Im sure rescue would take them if you cant rehome them. Explain your situation to them Im sure they wont turn you away.
Maybe if you offer to buy both of them they will cut you a price break...

This is why I cannot even go and look at the puppies...I think this is also the reason so many pet shop puppies are sold.. People feel bad for them and want to save them.
Like someone else said its a no win situation but.... for the dogs you are going to save those dogs do win
