Meet the breeder

I'm Chantell R., the breeder behind Chantilly chihuahuas located in Westport, NY. Chantilly Chihuahua is a small show kennel nestled in the beautiful mountains of the Adirondacks Lake Placid Region. We have been breeding chihuahuas for 22 years, and during that time, we have developed a strong reputation for producing healthy, well-socialized, and loving chihuahuas. Our chihuahuas are an integral part of our family, and they are raised in our home with our children and on our farm. We believe this environment provides our chihuahuas with the socialization and stimulation they need to become happy and well-adjusted adults. We take great pride in the quality of our chihuahuas, and we exhibit both long and smooth-coat chihuahuas in various colors. We understand that every owner has different preferences, and we strive to produce chihuahuas that meet the unique needs of each individual. At Chantilly Chihuahua, we are committed to the health and well-being of our chihuahuas. That is why we fully OFA CHIC health test and Embark on all our breeding dogs to ensure we produce as healthy puppies as possible. We believe owning a chihuahua is a unique experience, and we take our responsibility as breeders very seriously. That is why we are dedicated to producing chihuahuas that are beautiful and loving but also healthy, and well-adjusted. Thank you for considering Chantilly Chihuahua for your next furry family member. We are confident that we can help you find the perfect chihuahua to bring joy and companionship to your life.

Q. & A. with Chantell

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Fell in love with the breed in 2000 got my first breeding pair in 2001 and have been breeding ever since. I absolutely adore the breed and couldn't imagine breeding any different breeds. I’ve had several people tell me I have the nicest chihuahuas they are ever meet. Because of the dogs in my breeding program and my presentation of them peoples idea of chihuahuas is forever changed after they meet them. After all, many do believe the breed can be "ankle biters". My personal mission is to change peoples pre-conceived notions of chihuahuas. Chihuahua's can be some of the most loving and loyal companions to their humans and housemates.

  • What makes your program special?

    We love my chihuahuas as beloved family members. I don't think that makes us anymore special then other chihuahua breeders but we make our puppies and adults feel special because they are to us.

  • 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 merle, chocolate, cream, fawn, black sabled fawn, fawn brindled black, black and tan, blue and tan, blue merle, chocolate and tan, cream and white, fawn and white, red and white, chocolate and white, and gold and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Chantilly Chihuahuas has been a dream to work with during the process of getting my chihuahua. Chantell was very available to answer questions and helping me determine the best way to get my dog. She sent me pictures and videos while I waited to get her. My chihuahua is absolutely beautiful and sweet. Best experience getting my chihuahua.

    I had the best experience buying a puppy from Chantell she is both professional and personable. She responds quickly and communicated with me from the time I picked my puppy and after I brought him home. She really cares about the quality puppy you are buying from her. I highly recommend her and her beautiful pups!!

    Chantell responded very quickly when I sent an inquiry on Gwen. She offered to do a FaceTime call that day, so I can see Gwen and talk to her. She sent me videos of Gwen playing with her other dogs so I could see how she gets along with them. The next weekend her husband brought her to my house! She is such a nice friendly girl. She is 2 years old almost the same age as my other dog and they play together constantly! We just love her so much 💕

    We got our puppy Teddy(now Saint)from Chantell two weeks ago, and we couldn’t be happier! He’s fit into our family perfectly, has so much love to give, and has even become best friends with our cat Freddie. We’re completely obsessed and so in love with him. Thank you, Chantell, for bringing this sweet little boy into our lives!

    I loved my experience with purchasing my beautiful Chihuahua from Chantelle at Chantilly Chihuahuas. I was so nervous about purchasing from someone I just met on line. But Good Dog convinced me that she had been vetted by them and could confirm that she was a very reputable breeder. I found that to be absolutely the truth. Through many conversations with Chantell, I became completely comfortable with her integrity and her sincere love for her dogs and the puppies. She was very knowledgeable and so very helpful. She responded quickly to my many questions. I ended up with a beautiful little girl that is so well socialized, cared for, and loved. She is so responsive to people, so smart, so loving and very self assured. She is healthy and beautiful. I couldn't be happier.
