Here’s a new segment I want to call “About a Chihuahua”

I get several questions about my Chi’s some beginner some advanced. But one of the most common is “Why don’t your Chihuahuas look like the taco bell dog?” The first and formost thing I want to bring out is my pups are not in the same line at the “Taco Bell Dog” =) Honestly, I think for breeders like myself others who have show quality Chi’s. There should be a seperate classification. For example, the taco bell dog, is a Mexican Chihuahua. Where as, I would consider my Chihuahua’s to be a North American Chihuahua, or American Chihuahua, or LongCoat American or, you get the picture. I try to breed to the standard, so my chi’s usually have nice apple dome heads, straight lines, short muzzles, square bodies, balanced eyes and ears, straight/even bites but most important wonderful temperments!!! I don’t breed to have bulgy eyes, over extended foreheads, or deerheads for that matter. I try to avoid the curly tails, the long muzzles, and of course all the recessive genes that are out there. If anything is discovered that could hurt my line, that female/male is immediately spayed/neutered without question!

The Chihuahuas I raise and have grown to love 3rd in my life, behind God and my family, give unconditional love! These Chi’s would die for their owner. All of my Chi’s run freely in our fenced in acre, males and females together. You would think the males would have killed each other by now, but no they all get along perfectly! In good harmony with no fighting. There are so many things I do to raise my Chi’s this way and starting in January, I will giving my personal tips. I’m not saying my methods are perfect, but they have worked for me.

The next time I post any new info, there will hopefully be plenty of new puppies to show off!  Take Care!
