Yes, they can mate and this could cause damage to the Chihuahua. Additionally, if she did get pregnant, the puppies would likely be too large for her to birth naturally. I recommend to get the Chihuahuas spayed when she is six months old. It is best to avoid any potential complications. Best of luck.
