Meet the breeder

I'm Marsha H., the breeder behind Pinewood Acres Chihuahuas located in Newport, ME. I am a 35+ 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.

    They live in my home.

    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

    I had such a positive experience working with Marsha! She has a wealth of knowledge about the breed and is incredibly responsive to all the questions I’ve texted. My boy was so well socialized and very healthy. She is very selective in her breeding and in her criteria for potential new owners which I really appreciate.

    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.

    Three years ago we lost our beloved Chihuahua who suffered with many ailments due to improper breeding. My husband and I began researching throughout the country for a chihuahua breeder who cares more about the health of the breed than breeding for profit. We came across Marsha with PAC and Gooddog.com and began inquiring about her standards for breeding, health tests, and her Dames/Sires personalities and temperament. Once all our questions were answered we completed both the GoodDog application and Marsha’s very detailed application so Marsha could get a better understanding of who we are, our household, our knowledge of the Chihuahua breed and our puppy training time and skills. All of her available pups at that time had deposits, but she had one tiny little girl she was saving for herself. Unfortunately, this little girl measured slightly too small for champion competitions, but she was perfect for us! So this little long haired black, white and tan fur baby became our little Miss Daisy Mae in May of 2022. Daisy has the sweetest personality, very smart, playful, very social and easy to train. There was only one slight issue, it was apparent early on that she wanted a play buddy… so in December 2022, we contacted Marsha about a beautiful, little sable boy who was available. Whiskey Woo is the best Christmas gift I have ever received. He is beyond the sweetest, nuttiest and most loving little boy and the best big, little brother to Daisy. I had no idea how much healing could be in two special packages, but we are thankful and grateful to Marsha for our two, loving fur babies and the care and dedication she gives to the health and preservation of this special canine breed. ❤️
