Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
My passion is animals. I was invited to become a breeder by another breeder. She saw I had knowledge of the computer, photography, and the willingness, but most importantly the love of Chihuahuas. So after great thought...I gave it a try. My clients continue to support me because they are so happy with their pups.What makes your program special?
My Chihuahua puppies are home birthed and raised. They are pampered and pre-spoiled until they arrive in your arms.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.

Great level
Heartland Chihuahua 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.

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.
Full Embark 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).
