FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

" Quality is not Expensive,  It's PRICELESS"


Is a Chihuahua right for me?
If you are wanting a loyal companion, a lapdog, a wonderful addition to any family, or a little trusting partner......yes, our Chihuahua puppies are for you. " Chihuahuas are better than a face-lift" / "Empty nest syndrome answer" AND the idea that Chihuahuas are nervous, yappy, or ornery to strangers & children is a MYTH:  Mellow temperaments, well socialized pet/ friend, and extremely unconditional partner's are traits that we breed for and raise.  
Be sure this foundation personality is created by the breeders 24/7 care and training and realize that, YOU, the new owner is responsible for the excellent loving temperament of this breed. IT is not the dog/breed - IT is the breeder and new owner that designs the baby.
Our question is..." Are you and your family ready for a Chihuahua?   (They will take your heart, they rule!) 



What types of Chihuahuas do you breed?
Chihuahua Colors:
  Blue, Chocolate, White, Lavender, Tri-Colors of many mixers, and more
Chihuahua Coats:  Smooth coat, Short hair and Long hair
Chihuahua Sizes:  Teacup (social description) to Standard.......(AKC standard category is 6--7lbs)

Do you have teacup Chihuahuas?
First....I want to clarify that "Teacup" is NOT an AKC category but it is a social category that the public and breeders use to describe tiny sizes of 3.08lbs or under. Even the description of "pocket" is simply a size idea (around 2lbs or under). After making that clear..........Yes, we do often have the "teacup" sizes and have parents that produce this size frequently. We have, also, bred and kept very small studs that will continue to produce the smaller Chihuahuas. BUT size is not the only trait that is important to us and, hopefully, to you. HEALTH and LONGEVITY is priority

Are your Chihuahua puppies AKC registered?
Yes, pedigreed and all studs with DNA provided


How do you price your Chihuahuas?

We price by estimated size (which is calculated by bone structure as well as weight via age). Our rare colors like Blue, All White, Chocloalte dare priced higher expecially when they are smaller.  We do price fairlly and within the average price range for a specially bred Chihuahua. We may work out payments before the pup is shipped or discount when you buy two but if you are merely a bargain hunter, our pups probably aren't for you.


Can I reserve a puppy?
Yes, you may reserve a puppy with a $250 deposit. We do have a waiting list for our blues and other colors which will be 100% honored.  Deposits have the first choice. Waiting lists are contacted and photos sent. Working together is our trademark and goal. 


Can I reserve a puppy from your nursery?
Yes, you may reserve a puppy from our nursery, please try to specify a particular color and coat and we will try our best to reserve "the one" for you. This will be a work in progress, weekly photos, and much visiting between us.


What type of payments do you accept?

We accept personal checks and credit/debit cards. Or PayPal (additional 3% paypal fee must be added to all payments)


Do you have a health guarantee?
Yes, we do have a health guarantee but certain steps will be required to honor that guarantee.  You will need to take your Chihuahua puppy to your local Vet. within "5 business days" after receiving your puppy to have a general check up and look for the general health of the pup.  You will also need to show proof from a Vet. (their paperwork) that your puppy was taken in the appropriate time period with all required information from that checkup. Shots must be followed up and excellent care taken of your companion. Within the babies first year (one-year genetic health guarantee) if any genetic problems should occur, validation from your Veterinarian of specific details will be required, and immediate action for the health and longevity of your baby will be taken.   HONOR work both ways and I would never request you send back a sick puppy (that is unacceptable....the puppy's health is the priority and the care it needs must be followed through). I would help with finances, up to a fair amount or if ("God Forbid") the puppy should pass-away from a genetic problem.....we will give you another wonderful companion.

Can you ship a puppy?
Yes, We ship with Delta Airlines "Pet's First Program" and have had excellent success.  We ship anywhere in the USA and work with new owners regarding international plans.  Hawaii may have restrictions and limitations due to their laws and policies regarding quarantine of the new babies which is not acceptable.  International buyers will need to come here to pick up your puppy because international flights are too long for our little ones to survive. Also, you will be able to take the pup/kennel on your flight and see to his/her comfort and care.


Can I pick up a puppy at your home rather than paying for shipping?
Yes, we do allow you to pick up your puppy locally at our home.  We actually recommend this method because the puppy will be by your side the whole time rather than flying alone. Smile
