Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Don't see your question? Reach out — we're always happy to help.

Can I visit to meet the puppies?

For the safety of our family and our dogs, we don't allow home visits. Pickup is arranged at our vet's office or a nearby public location. This is a common policy among responsible home-based breeders.

Do you ship puppies?

Yes! We ship nationwide using a professional pet nanny. The nanny flies in the cabin with your puppy and keeps everyone updated via group text. Fees vary by location — ask us for a quote.

When can my puppy come home?

Most puppies go home at 9–10 weeks. Smaller pups may stay a bit longer until they're fully ready. No puppy leaves before 8 weeks of age.

What does my puppy come with?

Your puppy comes with a 2-year genetic health guarantee, vaccination and deworming records, a sample bag of their food, a scent blanket, toys, and a signed puppy contract.

What is hypoglycemia and how do I prevent it?

Hypoglycemia means low blood sugar. Young puppies should have food available at all times. If your puppy becomes lethargic, diluted corn syrup or honey can restore sugar levels — then see a vet immediately. We send every owner home with full written guidance.

Can you board my puppy if I'm not ready yet?

Yes, for a boarding fee of $15/day or $95/week plus any vet costs. Your pup continues to be loved, socialized, and trained during their stay.

How long do Chihuahuas live?

Chihuahuas are one of the longest-living dog breeds and can live up to 20 years with proper care, nutrition, and regular vet visits.

What food do you feed your puppies?

We feed Purina Pro Plan puppy dry food. Our adult dogs are fed Diamond Naturals adult dry food. We always send a sample bag home with each puppy so they can transition gradually.

What is a Molera / soft spot?

Historically, Chihuahuas have a "soft spot" on the top of the head called a Molera (like the fontanelle in human babies). Some close completely as the dog matures; others remain small and are not harmful. It does not predispose the dog to hydrocephalus.

What does "Pet Only" mean?

Pet Only means the puppy is not sold for breeding purposes — either they are too small for safe breeding or they don't meet show/breeding quality standards. These puppies still make wonderful companions!
