Meet the breeder

I'm Marsha H., the breeder behind Pinewood Acres Chihuahuas located in Newport, ME. I am a 36+ year show/preservation Breeder. I am an AKC Bronze Breeder Of Merit, a member of The Chihuahua Club Of America and an AKC Bred With H.E.A.R.T. member. **PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT SHIP** Puppies must be picked up in person by the buyer. If you live a distance from me, you will either need to fly or drive here to pick the puppy up. Sorry, no homes with young/active large breed dogs, aggressive cats or homes with children under 10. ALL puppies are sold as Pets only with Limited AKC on Spay/Neuter contracts - NO exceptions. Our Breeding dogs are OFA and Embark Health Tested. Our dogs and pups are raised in our home and are loved as family. We strive to produce high-quality show prospects and companions. We take great care planning each litter to ensure we are producing puppies that are exemplary representations of the breed. It is our passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Chihuahua.

Q. & A. with Marsha

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I breed/show because I love the Breed. My goal is to produce top quality, healthy puppies/adults that conform to the standard and to never do the Breed any harm.
  • What makes your program special?

    I only breed from stable/sane/happy, AKC GCH, Champion, Champion Sired, or from heavy Champion background Sires and Dams, who are health tested/have no known health issues themselves, or behind them. All of my Pet puppies come with age appropriate vaccinations, Vet checked, with a Health Certificate, a Health Guarantee and a lifetime of Breeder support.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Marsha was great to work with and I am so happy she helped raise my puppy! I was very impressed with her long history of showing and breeding chihuahuas, having extensive knowledge about the breed. Marsha is up to date with matters like what shots and preventative medicine not to give your puppy which I appreciated. She has a lot of that information on her website too. My puppy is on the smaller side so Marsha took extra precautions like keeping her for more than 8 weeks. Marsha really cares about her puppies and their health/wellbeing. I also appreciated the care package she gave me for transitioning my puppy. I am very happy and would buy another puppy from Marsha in the future and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a happy, healthy and well mannered chihuahua.

    Marsha was wonderful to work with! She is super knowledgeable, responsive and clearly adores chihuahuas. My boy is super sweet, he’s the happiest puppy and already so well behaved and smart! She sent me photo and video updates and the pickup was smooth and easy. Thank you Marsha!! If you want to find your furry best friend, I highly recommend working with Marsha!

    Aqila-Habibi is doing great. She sometimes behaves as if she has not eaten for a long time snatching treats from Duvalière-Suri and the other one is shocked so am I. 😂 she is learning to walk outside without a leash which is great for me. She has gotten a whole new wardrobe today with jewelry. Both girls are attracting other with their sunglasses on as we go out every time it is sunny and now they are wearing their belly dancing shirts. I am on the floor laughing for I can hear both of them in the house. Next month I am taking them to New York

    Marsha was beyond amazing when it came to bringing a new puppy into my life. There was a puppy that I was looking at who was adopted, but Marsha said she had a puppy who she was growing out for herself but was willing to give him to me. He’s the sweetest boy, so playful yet so calm and loving, who already loves to give kisses and cuddles and is very good about using newspaper and pads. I would recommend Marsha over and over again, and if I ever look into getting another chi puppy she will be the first person I look to. She gave me all the information I needed, and answered everything I could’ve asked on her website. You can tell she absolutely adores these dogs!!

    I love my baby girl so much!!! Marsha is great woman that understands this breed more than anyone I’ve ever met. She has been there for me before and after picking up Reba, ready to answer any and all questions (yes I had/have many). Reba is the sweetest puppy. She’s so smart, loving, and playful. I read so much about puppies online beforehand and my puppy has been the best blessing. Her temperament is perfect. Our personalities match up great too. I highly recommend Pinewood Acres for all your Chihuahua needs 🥹💕

    Marsha was wonderful to work with. The detailed application, the updates with pictures & videos, the follow ups after our first night together all really showed us how much she loves her pups and the families she chooses. I felt like I needed to give her a hug before we left with our pup. Her website is so detailed with all the information you could ever think to ask. Our pup was so healthy, happy and totally 100% shown so much love(and played with, LOL). We got “Domino” April 2025 and would 1000% recommend Pinewood Acres to anyone who wants a chihuahua. He came with everything promised and anytime/lifetime support from Marsha herself. We are very thankful to have found her through Good dog.
