Our dogs are our pride and joy and we love sharing them with others! We are a small, in-home breeder of quality AKC Chihuahuas.

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.

    Kari is a wonderful person and obviously an excellent breeder. My puppy Blue is a very healthy, vigorous, smart, sociable and loving puppy, and that only happens because the breeder does all the right things. I will be forever grateful to her for bringing Blue into my life!
