Sorry, This is coming out soooo Late. Due to circumstances outside my control, I’m calling this update. Our November/December issue!
Puppies:
One boy is still available, updated pics here. We have a new girl in town, Her name is Lita! Once we’ve made a reasonable determination of color, head and body. We will decide whether we are keeping her or not. We are considering her for obvious reasons, as we already have fawn, red and chocolate, cream and white will expand our colors. She is simply gorgeous. She is out of Bolder, however, she’s kind of small. I don’t believe she will break 4 1/2 lbs. So, she will be a perfect breeder weight and possible show candidate! Just look at her gorgeous markings, short snout and round head!
Nursery:
Carmie is pregnant! we are taking deposits immediately! please contact me for details. I just can’t wait until they’re here!!!!
Females :
Ruby is still growing and filling out, she has totally transformed since the last pictures we took of her. She has Changed Colors 4 times, possibly a 5th (still to be determined). Her head is finally filling in and balancing out the rest of her body! She is very square for a dame and doesn’t have that normal longness about her. Her eyes are still hazel and nose/pads are still chocolate! Her coat is just now starting to come in a little.

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!

If everything goes well, Thunder and Carmie will be expecting Christmas pups!! Yes you heard me right, if (BIG IF) everything goes as planned, the due date for their litter will be Christmas day!
A little background on Carmie and Thunder, Carmie comes from a Blue Tri color father and a Chocolate Tri color Mom, Carmie is Fawn with white markings and overall a very nice Chi. Thunder is a Tri and comes from a Blue Tri mom and a Red/White Dad, Thunder is our Champion and that says it all (click on his awards history, if there are any questions =) So, I’m expecting AMAZING things from this litter!
Once I have confirmed, that Carmie is pregnant I will send out an updated email notifiying everyone. For those of you interested I will be accepting deposits on the pups at that point in time.
Current Females: as most of you know, we have decided to keep Ruby. She’s going thru the uglies right now...BUT! somehow or another, she’s still really cute! We’re hoping to show her spring/summer of ‘08!
Current Males: Bolder and Thunder are available for Stud service, just give me a ring or shoot me an email!
Puppy’s for sale: We have two gorgeous males ready for homes now! The fawn and white male is show quality and the Black and tan male is very high pet quality to low show quality. We would prefer show homes for these guys, but its not required.
