It's important to note that the exact neck size of a male Chihuahua can vary based on factors such as genetics, individual growth rates, and overall health. Additionally, Chihuahuas are a small breed, so their neck size may not change significantly after reaching a certain age. It's always best to measure the specific dog in question for an accurate fit. That being said, here are some general guidelines:
8 weeks: At this age, the average neck size may range from approximately 5 to 7 inches.
12 weeks: The neck size may increase slightly to around 6 to 8 inches.
16 weeks: You can expect a neck size of approximately 7 to 9 inches.
20 weeks: The neck size may range from 8 to 10 inches.
6 months: By this age, the neck size may be around 9 to 11 inches.
1 year: The neck size may stabilize at around 9 to 12 inches.
2 years: It's likely that the neck size will remain in the range of 9 to 12 inches.
These are general estimates, and individual Chihuahuas may fall outside these ranges. It's always a good idea to measure your specific dog to ensure the right fit for collars or other accessories. Regular check-ups with a veterinarian can also help monitor your Chihuahua's overall health and development.

For very small dogs it is probably best not to use a collar with a leash but just to hold an ID tag.
