Q. & A. with Trudy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first heart connection with Chihuahuas started when I was in Junior High school working for a Veterinarian. A Chihuahua breader brought in a puppy that she wanted to put down because of entropian. My Vet convinced her that he would perform the surgery and spay if she would allow me to adopt her. That was just the beginning. My family loved her so much, she was sweet and loved everyone. I have a desire to produce loving, healthy, beautiful dogs that can bring as much love and joy to families as she gave to ours.

  • What makes your program special?

    Because my heart is trully in breeding excellent puppies for families to love and to be loved in return.

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

    Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies include merle, chocolate and tan, blue and tan, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
