Love at first site
Updated July 15th/09
Welcome to Love at first sight chihuahuas. My name is Valerie Haber and i am a small hobby breeder of amazing chihuahuas. I am very lucky to have had a mentor (Karie from Karie's wee chi chihuahuas http://www.weechichihuahuas.com/) to help me prepare for this venture as there was a lot to learn and more to come. My goal is to breed for quality, temperament and health, and find all of my pups a loving forever home. I am not a registered breeder but do strongly believe with, and do my best to follow as closely as possible with the AKC and CKC standards. I am also a very strong believer of raising my pets naturally. So when these pups are ready to eat on there own i start them right from the beginning on an all natural complete, raw diet to start them on a natural and healthy path. i strongly believe in N.R. breeding and from personal experience and research i strongly BELIEVE that a natural diet is nutritional and balanced, and also helps with optimal health and optimal immune system as they grow.
Thank you for your interest in these great dogs! The chihuahua is the smallest and longest lived dog in the world! They are bursting with personality and are fearless companions. If you are looking for a small, loving and loyal companion, you have come to the right place
Any of the pups born under my care are considered family for life, If for any reason any of the homes can no longer keep one of my past pups i will take them in and either keep them or find them a new loving forever home. i vow that i will try my best to make sure that non of my pups will ever end up abandon or in a shelter.
I breed smooth coat chi's that very in size from 3lbs-7lbs. my goal is not to breed tiny, so called "tea cups" which are more likely to have life long health problems, (don't get me wrong there are some very tiny chi's that are completely healthy) but i breed for the 4-5 lbs range which are much stronger and healthier but still small. I care about my babies and want what is best for all of them. I will ask a lot of questions and Honesty goes a LONG way! I screen new families to ensure a forever home for them. I work hard to get to know each family before making a decision to place a puppy in their home. It is not first-come-first-serve for me. I will strive to match the right puppy with the right family. All families will be asked to fill out an application and first be pre-approved.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a "tea cup" or "toy" chihuahua. It is a term mostly used to sell the very small runt or sick chihuahua for more money or clam that they will be much smaller. There is no way in guaranteeing the final weight of a pup and those who do are doing so are not being truthful. There is a chihuahua growth chart but that is to be used only as a guide. There is only one breed of chihuahua but can come in 2 types, sooth coat or long coat and can vary in size. I am also very against puppy mills and breeding for money. All my pups are home raised, not in a kennel and given the best care possible. They are closely watched by me and my vet. Raising health chihuahuas is a passion for me. Chihuahuas are high risk to breed and problems can arise very quick and can be very expensive. Average litters are between 1-4 pups.
If you are interested in one of my pups Please fill out an application, send it to me, then i will contact you and have you over to are home to meet me and my husband and meet are fur family.
I also organize and run the Calgary chihuahua play group. its a great place to socialize you pup and meet other chihuahua owners. its also a very good place to learn more about the group and share stories. please check it out..
