Our chis are healthy and bred for AKC conformation.
We breed chihuahuas for ourselves, both to show and love. However, not every puppy will be show quality, therefore we will usually have a pet puppy or two available. Our chis' lineages are exceptional, having began with some of the best lines in the country. We are now working toward exceptional NR lines all our own with an emphasis on sound and typey chis with sweet expressions and temperaments. Above all else we want to produce incredibly healthy dogs and we provide all of our dogs with a natural, biologically appropriate diet as well as ample excercise and fresh air. In doing this we hope to boost the overall health of our chis for generations to come. See our nutrition page for more information.
We have no desire to sell dogs as fashion accessories or attention-getters/novelties. We breed, show, and love the chihuahua and place our pet chis in only the best homes. We breed because we love chihuahuas, not for profit. In fact, we don't even come close to breaking even. All fees go straight to the dogs, quite literally.
Important NOTE for those interested in "teacups":
The term "teacup" is used to describe runts, and many of them do not live long and suffer from numerous health issues. The true tinies are not as common as some greedy breeders would have you believe. More often than not, puppies sold as teacups end up being much larger than "guaranteed" because inferior and greedy folks use the term to command high prices. It is not possible to guarantee adult size. The AKC and Chihuahua Club of America do not recognize the term teacup! If you buy from a breeder advertising teacups, you may very well be buying a chihuahua that will barely resemble a chi or one that will go over-size. These "breeders" either do not know what they are doing or do not care. Most however, are simply greedy and I'll call them "scammers".
A chihuahua is to be six pounds or under per our AKC standard. Period!
"Teacup" is NEVER used by knowledgeable and ethical chihuahua breeders. Of course we do at times have the very tiny pups in our litters but we ensure the health and vigor prior to placement in a wonderful pet home. And we do not call them teacups! A chihuahua is a chihuahua is a chihuahua! Often we ask less for these tinies and they will be offerred without a health guarantee.
We cherish our breed and abide by the Chihuahua Club of America's code of ethics.
We may have only two to three litters a year or less but we WILL GLADLY REFER YOU to another reputable and ethical breeder! Please stay away from internet sites that sell puppies via the click of your mouse. KNOW your breeder, KNOW how your potential puppy or dog was raised and stay away from sites advertising "teacups" or "rare colors". You may see the term "merle" which is now being seen in chihuahuas. Merle chihuahuas are likely not purebred. See our Important Information page for our take on the merle controversy.
