Q. & A. with Carrie
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding shih tzus around 20 years ago, but I always had a chihuahua.
My first chihuahua lived 18 years & was my soul dog.
I absolutely love the long-coat Chihuahuas and decided to change the direction of my program around 6 years ago after a break in breeding.
My goal is to breed healthy, sound puppies to breed standard.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are a part of our family. They live in our home and are well-socialized. All parents are health tested, all dogs & puppies receive regular vet checkups.
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 chocolate, black sabled silver, cream and white, 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.
