Q. & A. with Kari
What makes your program special?
All of our puppies come with their AKC registration applications, are vetted, come from champion lines, and are started on litter box training when they go home. We are focused on finding the perfect home for our puppies. If you do not seem like a good fit for a specific dog, you may wait for another litter.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, cream, fawn, red, black sabled fawn, black sabled silver, blue, blue brindled fawn, blue fawn, gold, and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Good level
Happy Little Chihuahuas reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Chihuahuas.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
