How important is it to get an AKC (American Kennel Club) registered purabred Chihuahua? AKC is the most prominent animal club in the United States which keeps close records on their Breeders and the quality of the dogs plus the quality of the kennels (even small "in-home" raised have the title of "Kennel"). Surprise visits to the kennels, precise record keeping checks, photos of certified dogs with certifications matched, and more facts are done frequently so the honest Breeders are awarded. Puppy mills and " questionalbe " breeders are weeded out quickly and with fortitude:
Genetics, Line-Breeding, Trait Breeding, Socialization, "teacup" sizes are the products of long-time effort and strong belief systoms. Health and Longevity should be your first priority rather than a "cheap" price, if you want to be honest to the breed and a good "forever home".

Is the color blue rare for Chihuahuas?
Yes this is a rare color and takes years of careful breeding to obtain a clean healthy breeding line. We have spent several years with our breeding program to have the most desirable traits, healthy coats, and strong healthy babies. (Trait breeding for strong & healthy coats is imperative )
.
Are there more health issues with a blue Chi than another color?
No, genetic and ethical breeding practices produce excellent blues as well as any other color variety. Line and trait breeding can be intricate but followed-easily if the breeder educates themselves and takes special care with all their babies. Coats can be an issue if the proper breeding, health care, diet, and strategic treatment is not applied.

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 tops)

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 3.12lbs or under. Even the description of "pocket" is simply a size idea (around 21/2lbs 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 the priority.

Are your Chihuahua puppies AKC registered?
Yes, pedigreed and all studs with DNA provided. CKC is an available choice, also

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, Solid colors (ie. blue) are 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. As our blood line as become refined and more petite bone structured "teacup" size are available our prices will reflect their rariety.

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. 
01/2011.....reserve deposits (special order) are recommended if you wanting a particular sex & color as our puppies do get placed quickly.

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. When using a pre-choice deposit to hold a particular pup but wish to trade your deposit to another growing pup - TWO weeks are available for this decision without lose of deposit - however, if you hold the pup for a longer period of time while withholding her/his opportunity to have another "forever home".........you will forfeit your deposit.
We are so willing to work with each individual 'prospective owner' but require a respectful and fair return: Terms on deposits/holding puppies is not a new concept and "prospective owners" need to hold true to honesty as well as the breeder.


What type of payments do you accept?
 PayPal (additional 3% paypal fee must be added to all payments) Cashier's check or US money order through priority mail. Often front payments are accepted as your pup will not be shipped or placed with you until aprox. 9 weeks of age (depending on size, stature, and hardiness).

Do you have a health guarantee?
Yes, we do have a health guarantee and 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 works 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 to give him/her the best possible outcome. 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.
A long complicated legal guarantee written here "to cover all & any puppy" is impersonal and non-objective. Individual issues will be handled by both parties, their Vets, and the best result for the puppy.

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.
SH/HND  has gone up to $350 for two significant reasons.......1. Airline fees  2. Pet's First Program offers "DASH" which is much more time controlled and safer for the smaller breeds (more exspensive), However, it is highley recommended and what we have chosen for our babies safety during shipping. NEW temperature controlled areas developed, timed lay-overs and flight times are watched carefully.

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.
