Sin-Sation Chihuahuas

Is The Chihuahua Right For You? . . .

Before you buy a Chihuahua from us or anyone else, please do some research first. If you read this page and get done with a smile, you are probably ready for a Chihuahua. If not, maybe you should concider getting a fish or a hamster, they wont take up a lot of your time.

Just because some of the Chihuahuas that you have met in your lifetime never barked", does not mean yours won't. Chihuahuas are notorious for having an opinion about everything. And really, "ANY" dog is going to bark. If barking gets on your nerves, go back to Google and check out some cats pronto. No one can guarantee "non yappy" dogs. Even the quietest puppy in a litter can become a barker given the right circumstances.

You always see Celebrities on the news and entertainment sites toting around tiny Chihuahuas. A dog is "NOT" an accessory. The celebrity folks have people (hopefully) that feed, train, and care for their pets, you probably do not have "people". If you are looking for a fashion accessory you have come to the wrong Web Site and you may as well start looking for a different breeder, our babies are "family", they are not accesories.

There will be poop, maybe even poop you step in when your dog is young or sick. There will be vomit along the way. Possibly worms. At some point, your puppy is going to pee on something you really love and he may eat the corner off of something you love even more. Your dog may find the most vile thing to roll in and really stink up the place, that means "bath time"! Just because they are tiny and precious, fact is, they are still DOGS. What I'm trying to say is if you really don't like dogs, but just think Chihuahuas are TOO CUTE and adorable, you are going to be in for a "REALLY BIG" surprise and you need to rethink this.

There is "NO" breeder out there who can *guarantee* the size of your Chihuahua full grown. They can estimate, and if they have been breeding long enough and know their lines, they may be pretty darn close. But there are always surprises. If you want a 3 pound Chihuahua and a 7 pound Chihuahua just wont do, I suggest you look for an older pup or an adult. Many times, breeders hold back puppies that they think they may want to keep for breeding. A little bit of a bad bite, a floppy ear, legs a bit long and suddenly, there is a lovely little Chihuahua available and they are full grown or close to full grown, so you know how big they are.

Teacups. Going along with the size issue, many breeders use the term "teacup". There are rabid ANTI teacup breeders who will flip out at the word. Let me tell you a secret. Any chihuahua puppy can fit in a teacup for a little while. So can just about any breed in the toy dog category. And that is another word I've seen on breeder sites. "Toy size". The funny thing is, often teacup refers to regular size and toy is really a sneaky way to say "beefy little puppy". The very LAST thing you should be worrying about when searching for your puppy is size, there are many more issues that are much more important.

Small children. Many breeders will not sell chihuahuas to families with small children. There is a reason for that. Most parents who have unruly children think that they are perfect little angels. We've been out shopping many times and seen parents who are totally oblivious to the fact that their children are running wild in the store, tearing up everything in their path and their parents just simply think that "kids will be kids".  If you aren't sure your children are ready for a tiny dog, they probably aren't. If you are SURE your children would never hurt a little dog, not even accidentally, you are wrong. Accidents happen. I raised a son so I know what I'm talking about. When accidents happen to 3 pound dogs, they can be deadly for the dog. When you have smaller children, the difference between a 3 pound dog and a 7 pound dog can be crucial. "NO" small child should be left alone with a dog of any breed, large or small. With supervison, baby gates, and training (the children need trained too), a chihuahua is certainly possible in a home with kids. We have four grand kids 4 1/2 years to 10 years of age and we have taught them from day 1 how to treat Chihuahuas and our Siamese cats. All four of the kids are just wonderful with our babies but we still "supervise" them to make sure that no accidents happen. As you can see from our photos, the kids, Chihuahuas and cats all love each other and this is possible in anyones home.

Last but not least, if you are here on our Web Site, then you are probably contemplating buying a Chihuahua to be your companion and family member. When you bring a puppy home, you are committing yourself to care for that dog for its LIFE, not just when it is convenient or until you get bored or as long as it's healthy. You also have to have a lot of patience with a new puppy and not give up on him if he doesn't immediately act in the way that you want him to. Your puppy will not ASK you to take it home, you are the one who decided to bring this puppy into your home, puppies don't get to choose their families. Please don't be an "impulse buyer", be prepared to take this commitment seriously, it is a major responsibility. They will love you unconditionally, they deserve to have that returned.
