    After suddenly losing my 11 year old rescue chihuahua, I knew that I needed to find a chihuahua who had a sweet temperament, and was properly raised from a reputable breeder. Then I found Susan with Grace & Glory Chihuahuas! The minute I saw Moose’s face on the website, I knew he had to be my new baby! Susan was truly a pleasure with to work with, communicating with me with photos and videos of my little chocolate Moose! I appreciated Susan’s commitment to handing over a properly socialized, healthy and happy puppy, and my little Moose is an absolute dream dog! He’s sweet, affectionate, healthy and happy. He loves his dog friends, and our daily walks in the park. Moosie gives the sweetest kisses, and having him in our lives is a joy!

    I had a wonderful experience with Susan. She answered all of my questions and concerns. I really appreciated the way she asked all about me, my family, our living situation and our lifestyle. She genuinely cares about where every one of her pups are placed. She allowed us to come for a visit to meet Tilly before making a decision and on the day Tilly came home, she provided us with a beautiful package including toys, treats, food, recipes, and everything to make Tilly comfortable in her new home. Susan and I have stayed in contact and I look forward to sharing with her Tilly's journey!

    am very fortunate to have two chihuahuas from Susan Hale’s Grace and Glory Chihuhuas. My experiences with Susan could not have been better and I now consider her a friend and mentor. Susan really listened to me to get a true understanding of my lifestyle, a feel for my other dogs and a clear sense of the life one of her pups would have with me. She did not try to push me toward a puppy whose temperament might not have been well suited. She was very clear and accurate in her descriptions of the various puppies’ temperaments and has an innate instinct for matching pups and owners . Both my Grace and Glory chihuahuas are perfect for me and fit in here right from the get go. I also appreciate how much emphasis Susan puts on giving her litters a healthy start and providing them with the appropriate early experiences . They are very well socialized prior to going to their new home. She has been an ongoing support for me and always takes the time to answer any questions I have about my chihuahuas. I highly recommend Grace and Glory Chihuahuas
