Meet the breeder

I'm Crystal W., the breeder behind Anoka County MN AKC Chihuahuas located in Anoka, MN. We are dedicated to always providing our buyers and our puppies with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. All of the dogs I breed are my personal pets. Prices vary among each litter based on who the parents are, puppy gender and any special characteristics. All of my puppies come from champion lines and are AKC (American Kennel Club) registered. All puppies come vet checked (with supporting paperwork), with a 1-year health guarantee (for life threatening congenital defects), first shots and will be dewormed. I do not believe in charting adult weight. Charting adult weight has no scientific accuracy and is in my opinion fraudulent marketing. I can give estimates of size based on the parents and past litters. I do not work with buyers who make unrealistic requests about size and weight. Pets are family members who deserve unconditional love so I don’t believe in catering to conditional requests. I’ve had puppies from the same litter weigh 2 pounds and 8 pounds respectfully. The puppies I sell are meant to go from my family to yours and be treated as part of your family for the duration of their lives which can be a long time as Chihuahua’s have long life expectancies.

Q. & A. with Crystal

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My beloved pug/jack russell (Binky) died in 2018. My remaining dog Paco (chihuahua) was left heartbroken and brotherless. So I decided to buy Rico (sire) to be his new brother. Rico was so cute I decided I wanted to breed him so it went from there! There is a much longer story about how I became breeder on my facebook page called Anoka County MN Chihuahuas. Please check that out not only to learn more about me but to learn more about my Chihuahuas! I have a lot of photos, videos and a lot of the followers are past owners who often share photos of their now grown up dogs looking cute! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063654155157
  • What makes your program special?

    All of my dogs are AKC pet registered and come from champion bloodlines (I will include printed copies of their pedigrees with all the other paperwork when picking up your puppy). Their parents have each had individual full Embark for Breeder DNA Panels. This includes testing for 245+ genetic health conditions. The extensive 30-39 page reports can be found on this site under each sire or damn under the health testing tab or on my public profile at Embarkvet.com
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include smooth and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chocolate and white, chocolate and tan, blue and white, black and white, black and tan, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    After dealing with a scam breeder, Crystal seriously answered the call to my mother’s chihuahua hopes. She was passionate about helping my mom not only get a puppy, but also to make sure things were right after getting scammed. She was communicative throughout the whole process, readily available to answer both my questions and my mom’s. Updates on the pup, as well as photos shared up until it was time to meet Pearl. Pearl is adorable and very very loving to anyone she meets. Thank you for making this such an incredible experience for my mom, and soon me! ;)

    Crystal was very responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. She helped prepare my home and family for our two puppies we received from her. Crystal send us weekly updates and pictures. Crystal was accommodating with our schedule and met us half way both times! She walked us through the AKC registration process and answered all our questions. Our family is so in love with our two little girls! Thank you Crystal!

    This was my first time getting a puppy so I wasn't sure what to expect. I found Crystal's profile and her litter was so cute!! She was responsive and even gave me updates and pictures which was very nice! I can tell she takes good care of them and really loves each and one of them. And Gooddog made it easy to find a puppy on here. I also didn't have any issues with payment or my card so everything was nice and secured. I'm so happy with my new best friend, Juno!! ❤️🐶🥰

    I had a wonderful experience with Crystal from start to finish. She was always quick to respond, answered all of my questions thoughtfully, and made the entire process feel easy and comfortable. Her communication was excellent, and I always felt informed and supported along the way. My puppy, Minnie, has been an absolute joy. She's intelligent, confident, healthy, and incredibly cute! From day one, she adjusted so well and has been curious, playful, and sweet. It’s obvious that Crystal puts a lot of care and attention into her dogs and gives her puppies a great start before they go to their new homes. I also really appreciated Crystal's flexibility and willingness to coordinate a pickup that worked well for my schedule. That extra effort made the experience even smoother and showed how much she cares about both her puppies and the families they go home with. It’s clear Crystal genuinely loves and cares for her dogs, and that shows in the quality, temperament, and confidence of her puppies. I'm so happy with Minnie and would gladly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a well-raised, wonderful companion.

    We got our first puppy from Crystal right around my birthday and she’s been the biggest blessing! Crystal responded quick, sent so many updates and pictures, and made the process so easy. She was there to answer our many questions and her love for her pups is so evident!! We can’t wait to see her again for our second pup!
