Q. & A. with Jenny
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding Chihuahuas about 15 years ago. I totally fell in love with this breed after I bought my first one over 16 years ago, Poppy. Poppy is no longer with us, but his line continues with Lacey Lady. Our entire family is very involved in all parts of our program, from daily care, outings, and breeding and whelping.
What makes your program special?
Attention to quality and helping my clients bond early with their puppy! I allow live camera access to your baby several times a week so you never miss a thing!
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 cream, black sabled fawn, blue, chocolate blue, chocolate sabled fawn, gold, chocolate and white, and chocolate and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Jenny
Jenny has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $800 non-refundable deposit and between $1,000 - $3,700 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.
“All puppies are priced individually, based on size, color, quality, gender, and purpose of the puppy, such as pet or show/breeding home. Just because a puppy is sold as a pet, it will still be priced on its other qualities as well. The price includes CKC or AKC Limited Registration .
All puppies grow and develop in thier own special way, some babies grow quickly, others grow slowly, I do weight the puppies as they grow and I will try and estimate thier adult size for you, but this is not a guarantee only an estimate. At the times puppies are posted with thier picture, I will list thier current color, but sometimes as a puppy grows and lose thier puppy coat they can change colors, either lighter or darker or a different tone all together, I do my best to accurately describe each puppy but I can not control thier final color and do not offer a color guarantee for this reason.
Registration papers will be given after proof of spay or neuter by a licensed veterinarian is provided to me, papers will be mailed out at that time.
All puppies come with First set of Vaccinations, and special going home gift package!
If your puppy is AKC registered, Full AKC for breeding/show homes must be discussed and declared to me prior to placing a deposit or you will receive limited AKC registration.
Final payment is due one week before pickup via Gooddog or in cash at pickup or delivery.
I DO NOT accept checks, money orders, or cashier checks at time of pick up.
Breeder reserves the right to return deposit and cancel sale if they feel it is the wrong fit for the puppy. Puppies are not held or reserved until a deposit is placed. When others show interest in the same puppy you are interested in, I will let you know, I believe that is fair and the right thing to do.
All Deposits are non-refundable for all reasons.
With this 1 (one) exception, that if the puppy should die or become seriously injured or Sick, while still in our care, we will offer you 2 options.
Option 1, return of deposit (this can take up to 30 days).
Option 2, you may transfer that deposit to another available puppy of your choice of equal or greater value for up to 1 (one) year from the date the deposit was placed. After 1 (one ) year the deposit is forfeited.
If you reserve a puppy and fail to make a payment when due, or pick up the puppy with final payment as arranged, you will be contacted and given 48 hours to make other arrangements.
Cancellations:
If after placing a deposit on a puppy, and you decide that you no longer want that puppy (example: moving, change mind, don't like anymore, ect.) you will forfeit you deposit, and no further options will be given.
Pick-up policy:
Your puppy will be ready for pick up at 8-10 weeks of age. All buyers will have 10 (Ten) days from the date the puppy is deemed ready for pick up to pickup their puppy, either by car, plane, nanny service, or our personal delivery. If you are unable to pick up your puppy during that time frame, we will gladly board your puppy for you, you will be charged a small boarding fee of $10.00 per day, payable in cash at pick up.
Failure to make arrangements or pickup your puppy and pay all boarding fees after 30 (thirty) days of the 10 (ten) day pick up period will forfeit all rights to the puppy, deposit, and payments. The puppy will be sold for the balance owing.
It is not my goal to profit from your loss, only to keep the puppy at its original price, and to find a safe loving home for all my puppies.
I strive to give each person plenty of time to make a decision on which puppy they want, I am also willing to facetime several times so that an informed un-rushed decision can be made, I assume that when you fill out an application, you have already been considering if it's the right time, and what breed you want and have made an informed decision on adding a puppy to your home. It's my hope that I can provide you with a puppy that will give you many years of snuggles and love!”
