Marpointe Chihuahuas

The Little Dog With The Big Heart

About Us

 

                     

Welcome!  I am a small hobby breeder in the lovely Alberni Valley on Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada.  My interest in Chihuahuas, both short and long coat began when I was showing and breeding Shetland Sheepdogs.  Health problems made running around the show ring difficult and I was looking for a small toy breed to eleviate this problem so I could continue with my hobby of showing dogs. 

I purchased my first chihuahua, a short coat, and lost my heart to the personality of this tiny toy dog.  Chihuahuas made an easy fit into my busy lifestyle and now I wouldn't go back to a non-chihuahua life!  Please enjoy a trip through my website and visit my tiny friends.

First, let me tell you about myself.  I have been actively showing and breeding Shetland Sheepdogs for the past 30 years, am a 25+ member in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club, and enjoy the position of Treasurer with our local All Breed Kennel Club of which I have been a 23 year member.  I still belong to the Canadian Shetland Sheepdog Association as well as the Shetland Sheepdog Club of BC for which I still edit a tri-monthly newsletter.  My foray into toy dogs began with Pomeranians and branched into Chihuahuas in more recent years. 

 

I have made my home in the Alberni Valley on Vancouver Island, nestled between the mountains and the sea, for the past 23 years.  I can be contacted through email:  mmbernd@shaw.ca or through telephone: (250)723-6635.
