Meet the breeder
I'm Christy L., the breeder behind BonBon Chihuahuas located in Santa Fe, TX. I require an interview before approval. With a small breeding program, only a few litters a year are born here, so we have plenty of time to work with and socialize all the puppies. We look forward to matching you with your perfect pup!
Q. & A. with Christy
Why did you start breeding?
I grew breeding rabbits, goats, and horses. It was natural that when I fell in love with chihuahuas as a breed that we gather the best bloodlines and have a few litters every year.What makes your program special?
Socialization combined with an emphasis on healthy dogs with that perfect breed standard look of a chihuahua. Socialization at a young age is what makes our dogs so UNLIKE the yippy aggressive chihuahuas that most people have met and dislike. Ours are sweet, outgoing, friendly and playful.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.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
