Lucky Star Chihuahuas
Meet the breeder
I'm Tera J., the breeder behind Lucky Star Chihuahuas located in Riverside, CA. My dogs live in my home and are beloved pets before anything else. I make every decision with the dog's best interest at heart. It is out of love for the breed that I continue to seek improvement through health testing and conformation. I use Puppy Culture and have seen great success! When you purchase a dog from me, you instantly become part of the family.
Q. & A. with Tera
Why did you start breeding?
My parents bred and showed Whippets. I have been around breeding and showing since a young age. It seems natural to me.What makes your program special?
I am an advocate for the breed. I do my homework before putting two dogs together. I want to make sure each pairing is better than the last. I believe my passion for my dogs makes my program special. I breed to produce excellent temperaments, type, and health.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
