Purebred Puppies
Our Purebred puppies are healthy and intelligent. We do not Line or In-breed any of our dogs, as this produces weak puppies that are likely to have continuous health problems and short life spans. Our purebreds are registered AKC, CKC or both.

This will also help prevent collapsed trachea and soft palate. Feed your Chihuahua dog food in which the first ingredient is meat. Crude protein should be no less than 30 percent, and crude fat no less than 20 percent. Fiber content should be 4 percent or less. Iams and Eukanuba are recommended brands. Dress your Chihuahua in a sweater if in temperatures below 40 degrees F. Chihuahuas are very sensitive to cold temperatures. Be prepared to enjoy a full 11 to 18 years with your Chihuahua, as this is the breed's average life expectancy. Chihuahuas often like to snuggle under pillows and blankets. A number of Chihuahua owners find that their dogs are gagging or coughing. This often turns out to be "reverse sneezing," a phenomenon related to problems with the soft palate or a collapsed trachea. Take your Chihuahua to a vet right away if these symptoms develop. One of the Chihuahuas favorite things in life is sunbathing. Make sure your Chihuahua's quarters have a patch of sunlight to soak up during the day. Always provide shelter from too much sun. It is interesting to note that Chihuahuas with pink noses can be sunburned and even develop cancer. Because Chihuahuas can sometimes not know when they've had too much sun, they can become dehydrated. Make sure your Chihuahua always has sufficient water. If you use Frontline or Advantage as a flea preventative, you can save money by buying the package labeled for the largest breeds. On small dogs like Chihuahuas, you can divide the medication into several doses. The amount to use per dose is 1/10 cc per pound. Use a 1cc syringe - the volume of medication drawn up is clearly marked on the barrel. If you don't use the entire contents of the original tube, it can be stored in the syringe with the cap on.
Our puppies are handled daily and are very well socialized by the time they are ready to leave with their new family. We strive to raise our puppies in a healthy, clean and loving environment so that they will have the best start possible to a long and healthy life with you. We are always glad to answer any questions you may have about the characteristics of the breeds we raise and our Adult Dogs. We want your puppy to fit in with you and your family's lifestyle so that you will all be happy.
