Meet the breeder

I'm Sophia B., the breeder behind Happy Petit Paws located in Deerfield, FL. My love for dogs inspired me to build a breeding program centered on health, temperament, and responsible care. I treat every dog as part of my family and am dedicated to raising happy, well-socialized puppies while supporting families long after they bring a puppy home. All my dogs live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Happy Petit Paws 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • 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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
