Hi

I have a question from my sister who has just purchased a 10 week old chi puppy, do chi pups have the soft spot on the top of there heads like newborn (human) babies do?? Also posted in the chi thread

Thanks in advance

Yes they can..I had a very small Chi years ago who had one... it did not completely close. Be careful with it and talk to the puppys breeder about it. Its called the Molera and is a characteristic of the breed

The Chihuahua's molera is considered a breed characteristic and not a defect. Nearly all Chi's have a molera, and it stays with them for life. It can however become smaller as the puppy matures.

Be very gentle with stroking puppy over that area ;)
