I'm Brenda D., the breeder behind Hidden Valley located in Troy, MI. We offer puppies and retired adults on occasion. Retired will be spayed or neutered along with vet checked.

When puppies do not fit our program, they will be available to pet homes.
Q. & A. with Brenda
Why did you start breeding?
Started out as a JR handler with large breeds. When I was old enough and on my own, I started out with Am Cocker Spaniels. Then I showed a Border Terrier and decided to get my first Chihuahua. This breed is very difficult and I’ve had many sleepless nights to save new borns. We still have a special needs long coat 2 lb girl I tube fed for weeks. We love her to pieces forever.What makes your program special?
