I'm Darla K., the breeder behind Moose Creek Chihuahua's located in Xenia, OH. We are lifelong dog enthusiasts, and we’re excited to share our passion and purpose with others through our breeding program. Our dogs stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since!
Q. & A. with Darla
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding about 7 years ago. I have always had animals growing up on a farm. It has been a dream of mine to live on a farm and breed dogs. I always knew I would do something with animals growing up. It is a true passion of mine. I am very caring and nurturing person, always have been my whole life. I am still learning every day.
What makes your program special?
Our pups are well socialized by the time they leave. They are handled daily and desensitized to sounds, vacuums, bathing and nail trimming, kids, dogs, and cats. We strive on breeding for good health and personality.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
