A chihuahua female is in heat from 2 - 3 weeks twice a year, the same as other breeds. And yes, from what I have been told, they do smell bad. They also can leave stains where they sit or lie down, from the discharge that comes from their 'female parts', similar to a human female during one particular week of her monthly cycle. If you are not planning on breeding, please have your female dog(s) spayed. They will be much happier and healthier. If you are planning on breeding, please reconsider. Most female chihuahuas are too small and delicate to breed, even the most experienced professional breeders lose the mother dog and/or the litter sometimes. Also, the cost of proper veterinary care during the pregnancy is far more than you can recoup by selling the puppies.
