Q. & A. with Shelby
Why did you start breeding?
When I fell in love with my first chihuahua Cooper nearly 10 years ago, I saw the need for well bred, healthy and sound temperamented puppies for your average families or active adults. I have worked very hard to only breed the most exceptional dogs who give us puppies with those exceptional traits also. Our goal is for every puppy to leave happy, healthy, well socialized, confident and outgoing!
What makes your program special?
We utilize the tools that are available to us in order to health test our adult breeding dogs, to ensure we are providing the healthiest puppies to the best of our abilities. Puppies spend every day with our family, other pets, children, and various experiences making them exposed and confident when they go to their new homes!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
