Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
I feel in love with the breed. My first dog was a chihuahua at the age of 3 he was my best friend. Since then iv grown to love them on a whole new level! They are the most loving, intelligent and well behaved dogs. They come in so many shape, sizes and colors! I don’t believe the stereotype of them being mean! It’s all about the time and training you do with them. I want to change the way they are looked at one chi at a time 💖
What makes your program special?
We take the time to educate each new tulum family member on things they may not have know. We offer a life long time of support long after our babies have went home. I take the time to socialize them with kids, animals and getting comfortable around new noises. They start potty training 3 weeks in so when they go home they are no mess babies!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Lauren

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $200 non-refundable deposit and between $1,000 - $2,800 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“All of the puppies will come registered with CKC Kennel Club.
Along with that they receives a Florida Health Certificate. 1st vaccinations each of my puppies comes with a “care package” that includes a bed, bag of food, toys, treats, food/water dishes, and a potty pad. They will be pad trained when they go to their furever homes. We do require a $200 NON REFUNDABLE deposit. If you later decide that you do not want the puppy, can not handle the puppy or find one else where that okay sometimes things happen. However just remember the deposit is non refundable so please think about this when considering to add to your family.
( We DO NOT accept personal checks or PayPal payments for deposits or final payments)
Additionally I want everyone to understand that when you are adopting a puppy from us you must put down a deposit to hold the puppy you want. I will not allow anyone to come over and see the babies or the parents until at least 2 weeks after they are born. I want their immune systems to get a little stronger before they have visitors. It is my job to protect them and this is the rule I will not bend.”
