My pups do not leave
me until they are at least 8 weeks of age.
(If you are ever offered a pup from somebody who is
selling them under 8 weeks of age, walk away! the pup
is not physically, or mentally ready to leave for
it's new home at that age, and you may end up with a
problem dog which has either health issues or
psychological difficulties as a result, and above
all, it is immoral for somebody to let such a tiny
breed leave at that age, they are obviously not
breeding for love, and obviously do not have the
time or patience to do right by the litter. The
chances are that the litter may well not have been
looked after properly from birth. The longer a pup
stays with it's mum and siblings, the more
confident, healthy and ready it will be.
If my pups are not
ready at 8 weeks of age, whether due to their size
or because I feel that they need a little longer
with their mum, then I will keep them as long as
necessary until I feel confident that they are ready
for the big wide world outside. I do feel that 10 -
12 weeks is a good age for a small breed pup to
start integrating with their new family, and is both
mentally and physically capable of taking on the new
world that is being offered to them by their new
owners.
For your own Peace of
Mind, I provide as standard, 4 Weeks Free
Insurance with every pup. This has to be
the most responsible way to sell a pup, and it gives
peace of mind to the new owner and to myself, the
breeder.
The insurance covers
your pup for:-
-
Up to £4000 vet fees
resulting from illness and Injury
-
Up to £750 for loss
by theft or Straying

stolen

Wormed and Flea protected correctly to date using
veterinary products. Brought up in the home being
introduced to many household and outdoor noises and well

*All
my pups will go to their new homes with a
Registered Pet Pedigree Birth Certificate which
shows all of the pups' fathers and fore-fathers
breeding history, and highlights all Champions
and Show wins in their breeding. If your pup is
KC Registered (as noted against each pup if
applicable) you will also receive the pup's KC
transfer papers so that you can register your
pup with the KC into your own name. If your pup
is KC registered, you will also have the
opportunity to Show your dog in the future if
you so wish.
A Non-refundable deposit
of £100 will secure your chosen pup until s/he is
ready to leave. My pups are very happy, healthy,
well adjusted, well socialised pets.
I encourage Viewing the pups at my home to see them in
their own environment with mum.
My dogs and pups are Bred
and Brought up with experience, knowledge, care and
love. Be confident that I am a fully licensed breeder
and I am a member of the Dog Lovers Accredited Breeders
Scheme, and I strive to breed Pedigree Pet Chihuahuas for
excellent temperaments and health with round the
clock human companionship and care.

Other
Notes about my Pups
I will not
breed from a Chihuahua that is not 100% fit and healthy
and I would never breed from a Chihuahua that may
produce hereditary problems (for example weak knee
joints, eye problems, teeth/jaw alignment problems etc.)
I treat all my dogs equally and all are cared for with
Love. They want for nothing, have the best of everything
and are well socialised from birth.
My dogs and
my premises have been fully inspected by the Local
Authorities, SSPCA and local Veterinary Practice to
ensure that my Dogs are well cared for and reach the
minimum standards required to become a Licensed Breeder,
and I am proud to say that we more than passed with
flying colours on all counts.
My dogs and
pups only eat the best food available, and they all have
24/7 human companionship and live with us as part of our
family.
All of my
Dogs are Pedigree Chihuahuas and I also have some which
are UK Kennel Club Registered. I mainly have Pedigree
Chihuahua pups available for sale as pets (not for
showing purposes) and occasionally have KC Registered
pups available also. If you do not wish to show your
Chihuahua professionally or as a hobby, and are looking
purely for a family pet/companion, your puppy does not
need to be KC registered, and I can guarantee that all
my Chihuahuas are full pedigree bred. All my Pups are
also registered with the Dog Lovers Registration Club
UK.
Matings
between my girls and Stud Dogs are undertaken under
strict supervision only. When my girls are in season,
they are only allowed exclusive access to the Stud Dog
who will be used to serve her and will be kept out of
any contact from my other Stud dogs for the duration of
her heat. I will honour any request for DNA testing to
determine the Sire and Dam of a pup if so required, but
I am 110% confident that you will find that the parents
are who I say they are.
It is nice
to keep in touch with new owners of my pups where
possible to ensure that the pup is being well cared for
and developing well and is settled into his new home.
Photographs of my pups as adults are always welcomed. I
do get returning owners for my pups, which is a
recommendation in itself, and an honour.
If a pup
does not or cannot settle into a new home for whatever
reason, I do have procedures in place to either take the
pup back or assist in rehoming as necessary. In fact, if
it should be the case that a new owner cannot keep one
of my pups for whatever reason, I would prefer that they
told me and let me help than lose contact and wonder
whatever became of the pup that I was responsible for
bringing into this world.
Advice and
Information is always available at the end of the phone
or email if so required for any of my pups' new owners
for life.
I have an
excellent relationship with my Vet. All my Dogs are
fully up to date with vaccinations, worming and flea
treatments and I do seek veterinary assistance for any
ailments, illnesses etc. as required, whatever time of
day or night.
I am happy
for my pups to go to homes with other pets, including
other Chihuahuas, other breeds of Dogs, Cats etc etc etc
Although I do expect the new owners to be responsible in
introducing pups to existing family pets, and I am able
to offer advise on this. My Chihuahuas do settle well
into new homes with other pets, please take a look at
the photographs provided in my Testimonials section to
see just how well they do settle.
Due to the
size of a Chihuahua Puppy, not all Chihuahua Breeders
will allow their pups to go to new homes with young
Children. I am actually happy for my pups to go to new
homes which have children, on the strict understanding
that Kids MUST be supervised at all times when the pup
is in their company. Again, I do expect parents of young
children to be particularly responsible in terms of
supervising pups and kids at all times, and will advise
on this prior to purchase. If I do not feel that the
family is suitable for the pup, based on the chosen
pups' temperament and personality and size etc. then I
have to think of the wellbeing of the pup first and may
either prefer that you do not have one of my pups, or
ask you to choose a different pup which I feel may be
more suited to your family life. If I do have
exceptionally small pups, or pups which are not so
extrovert, I will prefer that they do not go to homes
with very small children or overly excitable children
and this will be noted along with the pups ad.
Why am I
happy to consider families with young children, when
many Chihuahua breeders do not ? Because I know that
there are responsible adults with young children who
will only want the best for the pup, and will do
everything in their power to ensure that the pup and
children are brought up to respect each other. I also
wanted a Chihuahua as a very young child, and was never
allowed a dog as my mother does not like dogs. So I know
exactly how it feels to have a family without pets and
it feels like their is something missing in your life.
In my mind, every family should have a pet and so long
as you are responsible, there is no reason why a
Chihuahua cannot become that pet. Chihuahuas are not
naturally scared of children or snappy with children, if
they are brought up being socialised around well behaved
children and are taught the ground rules from the
beginning, both child and Chihuahua can both have a very
long and happy, strong relationship together.
My own adult
Chihuahuas are not living amongst children, as I
personally do not have children (my dogs are my babies).
therefore my dogs have not been socialised with children
at any point in their lives. As such, when you come to
view my pups, if you do bring your children along with
you (which are most welcome), please do understand that
I will not allow my adult dogs to be in the same room
during viewing. I am sure that most of my dogs will be
absolutely fine with children, but I have to be
responsible, and feel that it is kinder to my dogs, and
to the children visiting, that my dogs are kept out of
the way. Adult visitors are of course more than happy to
join me in meeting all my adult dogs whilst the children
are being supervised with the pups. And if you come to
my home without children, you will most definitely
get to meet my dogs indoors.
