Meet the breeder

I'm Melanie A., the breeder behind Pensacola Chi Garden located in Molino, FL. We've always owned Chihuahuas and cherish everything about them. Our dogs are never kept in kennels—they roam freely on our property, enjoying fresh air, sunshine, and plenty of affection. Here, our Chihuahuas are part of the family, raised with care, love, and room to be their happy, quirky selves.

Q. & A. with Melanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding because of my deep love for Chihuahuas and a desire to share their amazing personalities with others. Raising them with care and intention lets me help families find loyal, loving companions raised in a happy, healthy home—not a kennel.

  • What makes your program special?

    My program is special because my Chihuahuas are raised in my home with love—not kennels. They grow up with space to roam, daily socialization, and lots of personal attention, ensuring happy, well-adjusted puppies ready to become cherished family members.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream and white, red and white, blue and tan, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I had such a wonderful experience with Alex. From the very first conversation, she was kind, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. She patiently answered all of my questions and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. When I brought home my puppy, it was clear how much care and love had gone into raising her. She was well-socialized, healthy, and had the sweetest temperament. The transition into our home was so smooth because of the foundation Alex gave her.
