Meet the breeder

I'm Tami G., the breeder behind Fine Whines & Lickers located in South Charleston, OH. We love to raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s no better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way we do!

Q. & A. with Tami

  • Why did you start breeding?

    The love of owning Chihuahuas and wanting to breed quality stock. We had seen some less than desirable litters of puppies and wanted to offer a much healthier and happier litter of puppies to people.

  • What makes your program special?

    All of our Dams and Sires live in our homes and the puppies live in our homes and are handled on a daily basis. They are never put in cages or kennels. They have large areas to run and play together with the other litters of puppies. Our dogs and puppies never go outside. They are all peepad trained. They get regular Vet checks, are dewormed, and have their dew claws removed at birth.

  • 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 black sabled fawn, chocolate and white, chocolate and tan, fawn and white, black and white, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Tami was the best breeder we have ever worked with. She was knowledgeable, caring, and timely with all responses. We are absolutely in love with our puppy, and so grateful to have him as part of our family.

    🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 My husband and I are so impressed with Fine Whines And Lickers as a breeding orogram. They outdo themselves to make sure each of their fur babies make a smooth transition into new homes. They sent samples of puppy food and treats, several toys, a mommy scent baby blanket to ease anxiety for our puppy, and so much more. Our Zoey has a remarkable personality. She's so beautiful and personable. Everywhere we take her people are drawn to her! We highly recommend this breeder. We couldn't be happier with the experience from meeting us half way for the exchange to all the great organized paperwork and advice on puppy care! Sarah, Dan, and Zoey. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

    Mary and Tami were awesome. Explained everything we needed to know and gave great advice on how to start my journey with Joey. So far he’s a dream puppy, so smart and learns quickly
