Meet the breeder

I'm Alexus D., the breeder behind Lexi’s Babies located in Mattoon, IL. Lexi’s Babies, Established 2026 and located in Central Illinois. Specialized in beautiful Apple head Chihuahuas and only work with AKC and CKC registered dogs. Our goal is healthy & beautiful fur babies.

Q. & A. with Alexus

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding because of my love for animals, especially Chihuahuas. What started as a passion for the breed turned into wanting to responsibly raise healthy, well-socialized puppies and help connect families with loving pets. Through my breeding program, “Lexi’s Babies,” I’ve learned a lot about animal care, communication, and the dedication it takes to care for both moms and puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    My program focuses on healthy, well-socialized Applehead Chihuahuas raised with love, quality care, and strong attention to temperament.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have smooth coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable spotted white, cream and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
