We live in a world that is ever-advancing in our ability to understand diseases, genetics, and DNA. We no longer must use the old-school methods of breeding dogs to discover what health issues they may or may not carry on to their offspring.

  

 

Dog Breeding is not successful without understanding basic genetics. Understanding genetics and keeping up with the latest advancements is why we continually advance our understanding of Canine Genetics via the AKC breeder education program, the Institute of Canine Biology, and many Breeding Seminars offered by Veterinarians and Specialists in the field.  

 

We believe that with each generation of Chihuahuas, we produce, they should be better than the one before. We often hear words or phrases in the dog world like " Preservation Breeder" or "Breed Conservationist. “What does that mean?  Sadly most breeders who toss those words around do not test their breeding Chihuahuas for the most common health issues but charge the same or more for their puppies. Maybe they don't know what it means either. To breed better should mean that you are breeding "HEALTHIER." 

 

 

Our goal is to have our dogs live longer and healthier lives. Hence you might pay a bit more for one of our pups up front, but we strive to have your Chihuahua's visits to the vet as few as possible in its lifetime.

 

 We challenge other breeders to strive for the same standards in their breeding programs. 

  

We do NOT breed for tiny Chihuahuas or base our breeding program around the dog’s color. Breeding for Color is unproductive since color plays little into the Chihuahua’s basic health and structure. All colors of Chihuahuas are standard and accepted by AKC, none are rare, and the breed can range from 1 lb to 15 lbs, even with the most well-pedigreed dog. There is no such thing as a teacup; please do your homework on the cost of owning a 1-3 lb. dog. 

 

 Currently, we do the following :

 

  

• We provide a puppy Swag Bag with food, a toy, a blanket that smells like home, and a packet of all your essential health and contract paperwork. 

 

• We health Check every pup at eight weeks with our veterinarian and give you the results. 

 

• We provide Trupanion Health Insurance With every puppy. 

 

• We start them on Revolution for heartworm, fleas, and deworming.

 

• We give 2 DHPP Vaccines before the puppy leaves us.

 

• We provide AKC REUNITE MICROCHIP with every puppy. Please read our Microchip Policy.

 

• We provide PRE-PAID AKC registration with every puppy. 

 

• We provide LIFETIME SUPPORT via social media or phone for any issues. 

 

• We offer LIFETIME, no questions asked, and the return of any dog we have bred. 

 

• We offer a LIFETIME health guarantee against congenital disabilities; most breeders provide 1-2 years. 

 

We publish all the health reports to the public even if they are NOT good; we also link them on our dog's pages on this website. 

 

We run inbreeding ratios on breeding before they happen to ensure we keep the highest genetic diversity possible in our program. This aids a breed over time by not doubling up on health issues. 

 

We are members of BRED with H.E.A.R.T. program with AKC, always improving our education and understanding of dog breeding and genetics. 

 

We DNA coat color test our dogs to know we are making responsible breeding choices. 

 

We Embark DNA Health Test our dogs for over 200 + known health issues, including if they carry a health problem. We have our dogs tested for the following common breed diseases.
