ABOUT MY FAMILY AND PROGRAM
My young adult children, mother and grandmother all pitch in to help me in the housing and care of our Chihuahuas. As dog breeders we are confident in our ability to produce quality puppies for your family. It would be the same as choosing a physician, as you would wish to have one confident in their abilities to diagnose and heal.
Consumers continue to be scammed each year , so there is still room for information on how to avoid scams. Purchasing your Chihuahua puppy from a reputable Chihuahua breeder will ensure you are treated with respect and in an honest and fair manner.
ABOUT ME
Many caring dog breeders were animal lovers as children. As a child I was baby crazy ! I bred hamsters, rats, mice, parakeets, cockatiels, canaries, finches, dwarf rabbits and live bearing freshwater fish such as fancy guppies, swordtails, black mollies, and platies. As an adult I became a widow at a young age with three children under 11 to raise . I bought a puppy for my grieving children and the puppy brought smiles and joy back into their lives (and mine). The whole experience lead me to be able to view the wonderful side of the breeder world.
Dog breeders in the last decade are all lumped together by animal activists and never spoken of in a positive manner.
Honest dog breeders pay Federal and State taxes which contributes to social programs.
Responsible dog breeders contribute a much welcomed service of quality puppies to loving families. Try to imagine a world without dog breeders.
We offer tiny Chihuahua puppies often called by consumers "Micro Teacup Pocket Purse Chihuahua, or just Teacup Chihuahuas".
Active in feline rescue TNR, with daily feeding and care of feral colonies throughout our area, and care of many unadoptables with health and personality disorders, supported by puppy sales, no donations. Sinbad in the movie was brought to me from a Stockton Ca Animal Hospital after being mauled by a pitbull. Chest wounds and a shattered leg with the hospital not giving him any treatment for 72 hours, but calling animal services to come and put him down. The Vet at the hospital would not use his own drugs to euthanize the kitten. A nurse smuggled him out of the hospital to me before animal control arrived. Sinbad's leg was black and swollen double it's size, several bones shattered and my Vet advised amputation but I planned an aggressive alternative course with message, homeopathic's,and antibiotics which worked. Sinbad had pin surgery on the larger bones in his leg, but the smaller bones that were shattered healed over on their own.

We provide excellent nutrition including goatsmilk and Nuvet. All our Chihuahuas receive "Blue" and the human grade food "Keen" from The Honest Kitchen, as well "Wellness". Our Chihuahua puppies are well nourished from the time of conception. Excellent nutrition is vital to developing embryos and delicate organs which prevents future degenerative disease and medical bills as dogs ages. We believe in preventive care.
We use Neopar which is the most effective Parbo vaccine known in the world. A common reason for consumers to buy a new Chihuahua puppy is because one died from the Parvo virus (CPV) Neopar costs 3 times more then the leading vaccine and Veterinarians are not out for the most expensive, so you must rely on your Breeder to provide the best. Neopar
We have heavy Champion bloodlines, but the shows, ribbons and titles are not the number one priority. Anyone with plenty of money and persistence can bring a quality Chihuahua to Champion title. Single participants are permitted in most events (no competition) with sure win of the only dog in the ring. Like the majority of breeders, we have seen Champions we would not consider adding to our own breeding program. A GRAND Champion is uncommon and something to be extremely proud of! Champions competing against Champions with the winner a GRAND Champion. It is unlikely you will find any Breeders with Grand Champions. Our Grand Champion lines are through BISA GRAND CHAMPION TOODULPIPS DONAVAN.

Teacup Chihuahuas! A teacup here? And a teacup there? Everywhere a teacup?
It appears that the extra tiny Chihuahuas often called "teacup" Chihuahua are common. Or could it be that there are many scammers online baiting with size terms?
A common fraud is the prediction of adult size based on newborn weight. Extra tiny newborn Chihuahuas may be temporarily stunted due to an insufficient placenta while in uteri and and will catch in a few weeks.
Those who want a low weight puppy feel that a low weight guarantees a small Chihuahua, but weight alone never guarantees a teeny Chihuahua. Large 13 inch long Chihuahuas can weigh 2 to 3 lbs grown. SKINNY! Certainly not small.
A common fraud is that Champion lines alone merits a high price. Regardless of Champion bloodlines, if a Chihuahua puppy is simple pet quality then it merits a lower price as a pet quality puppy.
How hard is it for a con man to lie? Chihuahua Breeders who blare the terms Micro Teacup Chihuahuas all over their websites are the very ones who are the least likely to have the tiny sizes.
An honest Chihuahua breeder will admit that an educated guess can be given based on the size of parents and puppies from past litters, from size of relatives and also current age, weight and size of puppy. Aso the older the puppy the easier to predict more accurate.
Consumers should keep a realistic outlook so they do not become vulnerable to the "endearing" size terms used as bait. Being told 5 month old Chihuahua puppies weigh 17 oz is unrealistic and the pup arrives days later she weighs 3 lbs, you fall in love just as the scammer planned. Based on a true story, one of many cons.
Small breed toy dogs like Chihuahuas have growth spurts in puppies from 9-12 wks old. Breeders pitching "teacups" want puppies gone before the growth spurt hits. Is it difficult to figure out why?

BREEDER COMPETENCY
Laws do not require dog breeders to study canine pathology, parasitology, microbiology and canine genetics to become certified as competent to produce healthy puppies. Yet a Veterinarian cannot legally give a puppy a vaccine injection without spending many thousands of dollars and 8 years in study at an accredited school. I would think that producing the lives of genetically sound pets is as important as the treatment given to genetically weak dogs throughout their life time.
