SHOULD I GET A PUPPY NOW OR LATER ? You are purchasing a live loving animal that is a part of my family. He or she will become a major part of your family. Please be 100% positive that your new little family member will be welcomed by everyone living in your household. That includes your present cats, dogs etc. at home. We want all our puppies in a happy loving environment.
ALL PUPPIES LIVE IN OUR HOME : We consider our puppies to be in excellent health and family socialized. All pups are open cage trained and have minimal accidents at the time of your purchase. They are taught by the repetition method. They play with each other and my family. We have lots of fun. The puppies then eat and nap. When they wake up they immediately go outside and potty. When they are open cage trained inside our house we potty train using newspaper. Weekly we reduce the paper left in the cage until there is only one sheet letf in the cage. By this time they are just about house broken. We have repeated this process over and over and have developed a winning combination. It makes buying a puppy a pleasurable experience for you.
PUREBRED REGISTRATION WHAT DOES IT MEAN ? It means you leave my house with the official registration papers from your puppy. Either AKC or CKC. A puppy without official registration papers will never be recognized as purebred and probably could be a mix.
HOW MUCH WILL THEY WEIGH FULLY GROWN ?: Purebred Chihuahuas should never weigh more than six pounds fully grown. But, I guess we have all seen the occasional heavy Chihuahua now and then. Weight depends on exercise, food habits anything else you might give to your Chihuahua as a treat. Purebred Registries recognize Chihuahuas as toy dogs, but there are no actual designations for "T- Cups." Breeders refer to extra-small toy puppies as "T-Cups" only to charge you more money. There is no such thing as a "T-Cup." They are actually the runts of the litter. For more information on how estimate your Chihuahua at adulthood See our weight chart.
PUPPY TEMPERAMENT: All our puppies are quality animals that live and learn in my house. They are continuously socialized with our family, friends and neighbors. These are not caged wild puppies that are timid and fear humans. I use a open crate training system as their home and they are happy to be in there unless they are with us. The open crate is their safe haven while you are not monitoring them. While no one can predict how a puppy will act with a new owner. I suggest you spend as much time as you like to get to know your new puppy in my home. Most people stay 1 to 2 hours, we will answer all of your questions. Our initial training, what you put into the continuous training of your puppy is what you get for life. I want you and the puppy to leave my home happy.
SHOULD CUSTOMERS TRUST ME: Why should YOU trust me ? DON'T ! Trust YOUR Veterinarian. If your Veterinarian deems the puppy unfit for sale during his exam, I will refund your purchase price and the initial exam fee. Come see and play with the puppies for yourself. View their living conditions. We've all listened to terrible stories and maybe experienced them from a pet shop. You will notice the difference buing a puppy from me. I am available 24/7 we never close.
HOURS: Viewing or purchase of a puppy is mostly by appointment only but walk-ins are welcome. We may be showing puppies to several people and you may have to be patient. Calling us at (860-649-5317) or emailing us is best. I am available to you most any time. Someone is always present.
WHY BUY FROM US ?: You can find lots of pups online starting at various prices plus shipping. All puppies are raised in our home. So come spend some time with us and you will find out why some people buy more than one puppy. You will have a great experience.
OUR PRICES: Prices are non-negotiable, set by me and are based on the size and market value of each puppy. The smaller puppy usually cost more. Most pet stores charge $1000-$2700 for puppies of far lesser quality. I only accept CASH in person for out of State buyers or I will hold the puppy until your check clears the bank. Usually three days.
TERMS: All sales are contingent on an initial health check up from a licensed Veterinarian of your choice within one week of purchase. Every Customer MUST agree to all our terms expressed in our contract at the time of sale and sign the contract.
AGE: Most Chihuahua pups are eating solid food and very active by 6-8 weeks. We will not sell a pup until it's ready. Most of the pups we sell are 8-12 weeks old. Most are sold within five days of being placed on our ready for a new home date..
WE AS BREEDERS: Offer a high quality Chihuahua puppy that represents the best of the breed we have to offer. Combined we have been raising Chihuahuas for 25 years and produce excellent pets and in the past some show quality pups.
PRIVACY: I do NOT share or sell Buyer information. This includes names, addresses, email addresses or phone numbers. The only records kept are those necessary for business purposes.
VACCINATIONS: Vaccinations for puppies are spread over three sessions. The first occurs at 6 weeks, the second is generally recommended to be given at 9 weeks and the third at around 12 weeks of age. Please be aware that your puppy is not fully immunized until all three vaccinations have been given. We provide the first vaccinations (canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, respiratory disease caused by canine adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza and parvovirus infections) for our puppies. I encourages the customers to have subsequent vaccinations given by a licensed Veterinarian on a schedule they recommend.
