Q. & A. with Mechelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had 3 Chihuahuas as pets and when the last one passed I felt so broken and lost.. So I began my search for an AKC Chihuahua and I couldn't find any with being on a waiting list. I wasn't even guaranteed which pup would be mine or what they would look like.. I was frustrated and couldn't believe how few breeders were in the north state. I only found 1 site puppy spot $$$ over priced.

  • What makes your program special?

    My puppies are not caged and walk freely in my home. When I recline they recline with 6-8 on me lol same at bed time.. They are all loved and held all the time so they are accustomed to people and each other..

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include long and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream, red, black sabled fawn, red and white, fawn and white, cream and white, chocolate and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Mechelle was so nice. She met me at the airport with my new fur baby. When the ice storm caused my flight to cancel, she was not troubled by changing dates.

    I highly recommend A1 ivy league chihuahuas. Mechelle was easy to communicate with and she blessed me and my family with a little angel named Milo (AKA) Mateo . I thought I could never find another dog after my little Diego had passed away. I did a lot of searching and when I accidentally came across A1 ivy league website and saw her chihuahuas I instantly fell in love with Milo. I'm so happy to have him in my family. Everyone just absolutely loves him and he brings so much joy into our lives. You can tell Mechelle loves what she does and is an exceptional breeder. He is healthy and was already going on the potty pads when I brought him home. THANK YOU MECHELLE!!
