Meet the breeder

I'm Diana N., the breeder behind D's Darling AKC Long Hair Chihuahuas located in Cornelius, OR. We are a small home breeder that strives to better the breed in hopes to produce outstanding qualities in personality, conformation, and overall appearance. We pride ourselves in maintaining a minimum of amount high-quality dogs for our breeding program. We specialize in AKC apple head, long hair coat in a wide array of colors.​ Our chihuahuas are raised in our loving home, treated as part of the family. Our dogs are NOT kenneled; they live in our home with unlimited access to outdoor playtime  (doggie door to a huge fully fenced backyard). Our babies are well socialized with other pets (kitties, big dogs, and children). Our puppies are raised with a hands-on approach to stimulate and personally bond. Our puppies will not leave us until we feel confident that they are ready for their new home between 8 and 16 weeks of age. They will be vet checked, wormed, have dew claws removed, and receive appropriate shots.
