!--Code--> Ontario Chihuahua Dog Breeders
We Are Located in Southern Ontario Canada First Let me dispel the "teacup" myth Teacup chihuahua is not an official term,Chihuahuas are officially only referred to as "long coat" or "short coat" on their "certificate of pure bred papers" However, "teacup" "micro teacup" as well as "double long coat" is a descriptive term breeders commonly use to categorize the size and style of the Chihuahua. The official breed standard is 2 to 6lbs, (with 4lbs preferred by most judges) Let me be perfectly clear We do not set out to deliberately produce micro teacups! Our puppies range in size; Micro teacup 2 to 3 1/2 lbs, teacup 3 1/2 to 5lbs, standard 5 to 7 1/2 lbs Most of our babies are in the teacup range 31/2 to 5lbs at maturity. Which is right in the middle of the breed Standard Ideally chihuahuas weighing 5 or more pounds tend to be the more hardy, and more healthy all around, with hardly ever an instance of hypoglycemia as is sometimes common with this breed. Click info on hypoglycemia Indeed Chihuahuas are the world's smallest dog but, they are also the dog with the worlds longest life expectancy too!! Living 14,15,16,17 years and sometimes beyond That includes the Teacup and Micro teacup size Being extra tiny is part of their generic make up it is not a unhealthy phenomenon Our Chihuahuas Are raised in a smoke free environment, Underfoot, right in our Living room, for optimum socialization, as well as a happy, healthy, well adjusted puppy. This also allows us to know the personality of each individual pup So we may place the right pup with the right person. We are a hobbyist group of breeding partners raising Chihuahua puppies in small family environment. We believe our potential parents deserve as much personal love, affection and attention as any pet deserves. That is why each partner has small number of dogs that are our pets first. By networking with each other, we are able to achieve variety in; colour, size, long coat, or short coat. We aim for puppies that weigh 4 to 5lbs at maturity Which is commonly called "teacup" Having said that, we do get some real tines sometimes called Micro teacups or pocket pups. Alternatively we also get some a little over the breed standard weight of 6lbs. We guarantee in writing the health of every pup that leaves our care. We also Guarantee, No puppy ever leaves our care with any worms, parasites etc... What so ever!!! It is My strong opinion that there is no excuse for that! If the parents are well taken care of, Than why should any puppy have parasites? Each Pup is fully examined by our veterinarian and given an official health Certificate Which States that the pup is healthy and fit for purchase We believe it is just as important, to produce a puppy with a excellent temperament and the most pleasant disposition as it is to produce a healthy puppy that fits the breed standard. Our Litters are Carefully planned. We consider all the physical characteristics and temperaments of both prospective parents and put the two together that would best compliment each other Our Dogs are fed Only Premium quality dog food Royal Canin Chihuahua #28 Our puppies are feed Royal Canin small Breed Puppy 33. This Food is largely preferred by Most vets and breeders that I have encountered at Dog shows. It is formulated to target the most specific nutritional needs of Chihuahuas It is worth noting that this dog food company was never a part of the recent recalled pet food They are also raised (Puppies and Adults) on true spring water as their exclusive drinking water. Even so their water is served in a "Hagen dog it" water fountain dish/filtration system to filter out hair, dust, chemicals, and harmful bacteria associated with several dogs drinking from the same dish. There are too many metals in tap water which believed to have a barring on the length of life expectancy. Most city water is hard water and can be more stressful on the heart. We believe in giving our dogs and puppies every advantage available right from the start!!! WE DO NOT BREED Merles ! according to cKC Standards Merles are an Instant disqualifcation Merles are not true Pure breeds. Chihuahuas do not naturally carry this gene Please be aware it is not our interest to simply sell our puppies for money. Our goal is to place our puppies in home that will be a happy, healthy, safe, Permanent, loving, home where they will be cherished and well cared for. When applying for a puppy be prepared We will have just as many questions for you as you should have for us. OUR Puppies go to approved homes only!!! |
