Meet the breeder

I'm Lesley H., the breeder behind Harger Chihuahuas located in Dyersburg, TN. I offer top-quality Chihuahua puppies for families who share the same love and passion I do for these lovely companions. I am a preservation breeder striving for quality, health, and to ensure the future of the Chihuahua for generations to come. I have large expectations for my puppies!

Q. & A. with Lesley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I care about the well-being of animals. Giving back to the breed by producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes. I breed limited for my own show program and only a couple of litters a year. I’m devoted to ensuring they are happy and healthy Chihuahuas for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly breeding this incredible little dog breed. I breed long and smooth coated chihuahuas.

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs and puppies are my family, and they get the best of care that I can possibly provide. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity. If you are interested in a pup, go to my website, HargerChihuahuas.com and click on the available page, and complete the puppy application. I occasionally have a retired adult chi available.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include smooth and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Lesley was very professional and responsive to our messages and always answered every question in great detail. This was our first experience buying from a breeder and we are soo thankful it was with her. She truly loves the puppies that she sells and is very thorough in making sure that they are placed with the right people. We are so blessed that she chose us for Crosley. He is the most beautiful, chill, loving puppy ever. He's perfect. Not only did we add Crosley to our family, but we added Lesley and Brent to ours as well. God really knew what he was doing. Thank you so much!

    Lesley was terrific to work with and the process to get our puppy was so easy. We couldn’t be happier to have gotten our little guy from Harger Chihuahuas. Our little Teddy is a strong, health boy and he has already picked up house training!

    We recently had the joy of adopting the most perfect Chihuahua puppy, Leo, from Lesley Harger at Harger Chihuahuas. Our journey to meet Leo took us from NYC to Memphis, a testament to our excitement and commitment to welcoming him into our family. Despite the challenge of navigating through two of the busiest airports in America, ATL and LGA, Leo proved to be the ideal travel companion. His adaptability and calm demeanor made the journey back to NYC seamless and enjoyable. From the moment we met, Leo's charming and handsome appearance caught the attention of many. However, it's his personality and behavior that truly set him apart. Well-socialized, confident, and affectionate, Leo has shown an exceptional ability to bond and interact, demonstrating none of the fearfulness sometimes seen in chihuahuas. His intelligence is evident in how quickly he's learning his name, adapting to potty pad training, and displaying his agility and energy. Lesley Harger's process of adoption was thoroughly smooth, marked by excellent communication and preparation for Leo's arrival. Her dedication to ensuring a great match between her puppies and their new families was clear, providing us with regular updates, photos, and videos of Leo. Meeting Lesley and her husband at the Memphis airport was a wonderful experience, cementing our confidence in our decision to adopt from Harger Chihuahuas. I cannot recommend Harger Chihuahuas enough for those looking to adopt a Chihuahua. Leo has been an incredible addition to our family, and we are already looking forward to the day we can adopt a sibling for him from Lesley. For anyone considering adoption, Harger Chihuahuas offers not just a pet, but a new family member who will bring joy, love, and laughter into your home.
