We are a Chihuahua breeder located in the cool White Mountains of Northeastern Arizona. About 6300 feet elevation, lots of pine trees! If you come up here from the desert in the summer time you will want to stay.

We are Jerry and Betty Mae Kelly striving to raise the very best in quality and temperament Chihuahuas and as close to the AKC standards as possible. We have "Long Coats" " Short Coats" and "Merles". Our little guys live in the house with us, they sleep with us and some even eat with us. When we have Super Bowl Sunday and all the Kids, Grandkids and Great Grandkids over, we do not put the dogs up, they watch the game with us. They are very well socialized. We only have a selected few litters a year.

They live a long time, sometimes 15 to 20 years, it is a big commitment, make sure you are big enough to handle it !

We love our little guys very much and we strive very hard to make sure they go to the right home. They are so special.  Give us a call or e-mail us, we love to talk about Chihuahuas, either yours or ours.

From eight years experience in raising Chihuahuas and a lifetime of owing and loving this breed, we have gained the knowledge of the breed necessary to raise our puppies to the highest standards of health and temperament.  Our adult dogs are family pets first and foremost.  Our puppies enjoy real human contact and interaction every single day because they live in our home with us with constant care, love and attention.  This makes our puppies exceptionally social and gives them the confidence that they need to adapt well into appropriate homes. 

Our website is designed to be an accurate source of information for our new owners and Chihuahua lovers in general.  We also work to prepare our new owners to bring their puppies home.  Each new owner takes home a  Puppy Kit with care guides, samples, information, as well as registration paperwork and sales contract with a health warranty to help them get off to a great start.  Every puppy is vaccinated and dewormed according to a rigorous schedule developed by our team of Veterinarians, with whom we work closely to ensure that our dogs and puppies are healthy.  We are always available to answer questions so please feel free to contact us today or browse our website for tons of pictures of our babies.  We stand by our babies and we love them as family members.  We know you will too!

I live in the small historic town of Chickamauga, Georgia. My whole family are animal lovers, as you will see when you visit our home. We fell in love with breed after I had the good fortune of inheriting a smooth coat from one of my customers from my pet grooming business about 12 years ago. He was so loyal and sweet and brave. Now Chihuahuas have taken over our hearts and our home! 

All of my dogs are AKC registered. They go to the Vet for their shots and a full health examination. And we stand behind every puppy we sell. I send each one home with a blanket, some toys, nutri-cal, a puppy starter kit, and some informative literature to help you get started with your new baby. They are socialized and well on their way to being wee wee pad trained when they leave here.

I am always happy to answer any questions you might have after taking your baby home.  I am also listed as a rescue home with our local animal shelter. I put those dogs up for adoption in a home where they can live their lives out with a family that will give them all the love they deserve. I do ship my puppies if you live too far away to pick your puppy up from our house; they are delivered to you by a very dear lady that brings the puppy to an airport close to you so that your baby never has to go in to the cargo area of an airplane. Please visit my web site to see my adults and any puppies I might have available.

                                                      






 
 
I started breeding as a hobby in 1989. Later,  I managed to bring several different champion lines to create a beautiful little dog. I raise both long coats and smooth coats because I love them both dearly. Their personalities are a very heroic little dog with little fear. They will love you with everything they have to give. I have a full 3 month genetic guarantee with replacement. Puppies also come with shots and wormed.

I am AKC/State inspected and approved. I also have stud service available for $450 and sometimes adults to retire. Usually there is a nominal fee with spay or neuter requirement on the retirees. Some pups are sold without papers to keep your cost down, if you wish.   I will ship a puppy, sometimes, if the circumstances are right.  I look forward to speaking with you to see which one of my Chi puppies would fit perfectly into your life.  Thanks and have a nice day.

"From our hearts to yours"  Our Chihuahuas are loving members of our family as they all live in our house with us. Our children help to care for and socialize our dogs and their puppies. Our goal  is to raise happy, healthy, fun-loving puppies that will make a wonderful addition to your family. We raise both smooth and long coated puppies in a variety of colors. Their full grown weight range is from 3 - 6 lbs.  Most will also have a Championship pedigree.

Included in the adoption fee, will be a carrier, bedding, food/water dish, chewbone and a six lb bag of puppy food. This is to help make the transition from my home to yours as smooth for the puppy as possible. Your puppy will also have been wormed and have their 6 & 8 week old shots.  Chihuahuas have a great deal of love to give to their new family and I feel they deserve the same back in return.  Once one of my puppies leaves my home, you can expect me to follow up with you to see how they are doing. I will also remain available to you for any questions or concerns you might have. Contact me and I will be happy to help you select the right puppy for you that will bring you as much joy to your life, as they have to mine.

Hello and welcome to our little piece of heaven!!  We are Ronnie and Connie Castello. Our primary goal is providing you with healthy, loving and well socialized AKC Chihuahua puppies.

All of my dogs come from Champion bloodlines and are AKC registered.  We adhere to all AKC regulations and our males are DNA registered.  With 300 acres,   our Chis are able to run free and  exercise several times a week, weather permitting.   We spend daily time with all of them  and everyone is spoiled with love and attention.

We breed for temperament and personality with each litter. I am a Registered Nurse of 20+ years so I am very focused on their health.  I have a very close relationship with my Veterinarian ( Dr. Holly Wilson) and we both strive to promote the health of my little Chi family.  All puppies have a full vet checked and come with a health guarantee. Please feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions. I have to warn you though... I LOVE to talk about my babies!

Home raised and loved, my Chihuahuas are my family. I have been a small scale Chihuahua breeder for over 30 years. My “kids” allow me to live in the house with them, are doggie-door trained, and have large outside playgrounds with carpeted sunning decks.  Most people should have such a life (grin).   By the way, I'm Ruth, I'm a Yankee. My neighbor / helper Joan, is from West VA and is a southern Belle ~ hence our name! 

We are both RNs but breeding is our passion. We BioSensor program our pups, starting at 3 days. You will find my dogs to be healthy, balanced and loving...guaranteed.  You are welcome and encouraged to visit and meet the gang and see how they are loved and cared for. You will be able to see the parents of my puppies and take all the photos you desire. Most people stay a minimum of 2 hours and have a hard time leaving!  We are here for you for the life of your Chi. I am licensed and inspected by local authorities, State and AKC.

The most important thing when choosing a new puppy is finding a well adjusted and healthy dog, and Hilltop Chihuahuas was started so you can do just that!  Whether they are short hair, apple head, or deer head Chihuahuas, all of my dogs live in our house and are born and raised right next to my bed!  All of my dogs are CKC registered, vet checked, and microchipped before they are whisked off to their lucky new owner.

My breeding practices ensure that you will receive a puppy that is going to be healthy, happy, and live a long life. I breed many different colors so that you can find that puppy who is perfect for you.  I maintain relationships with the owners of my pups to help guarantee the integrity of my breeding lines and to assist them with any questions or concerns that may arise.  I also offer vacation kenneling for a fee to anyone who has purchased a pup from me and the little guys always have a great time when they come back for a visit!

Hello my name is Carolyn Hembree and I specialize in well bred, top quality AKC Champion line, long coat Chihuahuas.

I breed to improve the breed for show potential and a beautiful quality pet.  I am 100% devoted, responsible and committed to my pets, as they are my life.  My loving and committed husband is a veterinarian... (I am so lucky!)

We produce excellent quality puppies that look like the breed should look like: short muzzles, short legs, cobby body style, straight toplines and small in size.   Our puppies are the result of a careful selective breeding program.  Each puppy is healthy, happy, well socialized in a loving family environment.  We stand behind each one and offer a guarantee.  See my website for available puppies.  I may ship a pup to you if you are unable to come here in person, however I do have guidelines that must be met.  We sell to approved show/breeding  homes and pet/companion homes.  Call me, I am always available to answer any questions you may have.

My name is Lisa Truttmann and here at LittleBark, the love of the Chihuahua is at the very heart of my involvement with showing and breeding these tiny treasures.  I cherish their unending loyalty and the joy of life they exude is contagious.

They readily forgive my human frailties, they sooth my soul and warm my lap. Their eagerness to face each new day with enthusiasm prompts me that I should do the same and sometimes they are truly far better than I at living life. But as a breeder, I also have the commitment to protect and preserve the breed according to the standard that is set forth.

My goal and commitment as a breeder is to raise AKC Chihuahuas that are examples of this tiny unique breed, who exhibit lovely forward movement, possess sassy and happy temperaments and are of sound health. The welfare of the puppies I raise and place in new homes is my concern. I am always interested in their progress and development and welcome questions and information from new owners. I will work with you in finding the right fit for your needs whether it be that next show prospect or an adoring companion you wish to add to your family. This is my pledge to you as a breeder. LittleBark Chihuahuas, where my goal is to produce Chihuahuas that conform to the breed standard and delightfully form to your lap! 
~ Lisa
                                                             







My interest in breeding AKC Chihuahuas grew from my love of the breed. We raise both long coat and smooth coat Chihuahuas in our home with our children and other pets.  We offer:

    * Excellent veterinarian care, top nutrition and daily fun exercise
    * Breeding is done very carefully with my veterinarians’ advice and support.
    * From the day they are born, our puppies are cuddled and loved.
    * We start training our puppies to use wee-wee pads and most are doing very well when they go to their new families.
    * All puppies will have a healthy certificate from my vet, 1st puppy shots, and a written health guarantee when you take them home.

Each will have a puppy starter kit which has a little blanket that has been with the litter for comfort, a bag of their food,  a feeding schedule and a few surprises for you and your new baby:)  You also are given an adorable little photo album with pictures starting when your baby was only 1 day old.  Give me a call if you would like to talk "Chi" ~ Cathy

                                                                    


 

When your new puppy comes from us, you can be sure he/she has had a great beginning. All  are carefully handled each day from birth and raised in our home. Moms are allowed to wean the puppies at their own pace, so some babies will still be here at 9-11 wks oldAt 4 weeks old, my daughter Madison starts having playtime with all the puppies to offer important socialization.

Each will leave with a hand made blankie, special toys, treats and a sample bag of food. We feed our puppies professional puppy food to ensure a healthy start in life. All will have a complete vet exam and be up to date on vaccines as well as have their dewclaws removed.  All puppies are AKC/CKC registered.  We offer lifetime client support and we encourage building a lasting relationship. I have references available upon request including my Veterinarian.  Let's see which Chihuahua puppy is the perfect match for you!

Hello my name is Michelle "Chelle" Cecil.   I am a responsible, small hobby breeder of Excellent Quality AKC Chihuahuas of the Smooth and Long Coat Variety.  I breed to the AKC standard.  I breed for pet and show.  Pets go to new homes either already altered or with limited AKC registrations and spay or neuter contracts.  For show, a co-ownership contract that states the animal must be shown and breeding would be approved by myself and the new owner.

At this time, I have puppies available to go to good forever homes for very reasonable prices.

I feel that we, as responsible breeders, must protect the integrity of the purebred dog...My dogs are raised in my home and well socialized with people and other dogs.  They are well loved and I really strive to find good forever homes for my animals. I provide a health guarantee.  I pride myself on going above and beyond to provide support for the new owners, whether the pup is from me or not.  I am always available by email or by phone....Chihuahuas are my thing, all of mine are my babies and if I can provide that kind of love to you...the new owners, well... I am happy and have done my job!!!

Hi all, Jimmy Rankin here ! When I decided to breed Chihuahuas, I tried to educate myself on some of the best lines that I felt was available. I have gotten in touch with some of the better named breeders to put together my foundation stock. Most of what I plan on starting out with in 2009 will be from Championship lines and some are already producers of Champions. 

I am not a large scale breeder and have adorable puppies. I breed to the AKC standard and I raise lovely healthy pups which are born and raised in my home.  If you see anything on my site that might interest you do not hesitate to call or e-mail me. (As you will see, I get a little carried away with website colors!) Please un-block your phone when you call so that we will be able to talk "Chi" ! 
~ Thanks, Jim.
                                                                 






I proudly breed Chihuahuas who are my pets first, above all else.  I produce litters of very rare colors, including Lavender, Chocolate and Black Merles.   I have wonderful  long & short coat, Apple & Deer head and Greyhound & Cobby bodies. There are green, ruby, hazel and bright blue eyes in the bloodlines of my puppies.   My goal is to breed for wonderful temperament first and then color & coat.  Pups range from 3 to 7 lbs.

All have their own sparkling personalities and live right along side me in my grooming shop,  for vital socialization.  I never use cages.  All puppies have shots and deworming up-to-date and have a 1 year guarantee against genetic health issues.  I strive to produce quality, loving puppies for loving homes, where they will be showered with all the care & affection that they deserve.  If you are out of state, I will ship under the right circumstances but also offer to fly your puppy to you personally. Just give me a call & we can talk about the puppy that you have been dreaming of.

My name is Cheri Hill and I live in Northern Virginia.  I have owned Chihuahuas all my life and as other Chihuahua owners will confirm, they are the most awesome, the most intelligent, the most loving and devoted dog of all time!   So when I decided to breed 15 years ago, I committed myself to raising purebred AKC Chihuahuas that have excellent temperaments, good health, and beautiful appearances.  All have champion lines and are beautiful examples of the breed. 

I have accumulated a long list of references and have sold puppies all over the east coast.  We even have one in Japan!    We average 2 or 3  litters a year.  My puppies come with the AKC "new owner" packet,   AKC Registration Application, pedigrees of the parents, a health guarantee, first shots and wormed and a small bag of puppy food.  I am always available for support and any questions people might have.  My greatest pleasure is to know that I have placed a puppy in a loving home where  they will begin to experience the many years of happy memories and companionship that I have always enjoyed.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, by phone, email or by visiting my website.

I am an ethically and devoted AKC Chihuahua breeder and I am proud of how my puppies make such wonderful companions.  I have been breeding for 11 years now.  I have Chihuahuas that are long coats and some that are smooth coats. Our puppies are raised in my home and they are also brought up around children of all ages. This makes my Chihuahuas are very well socialized with others,  they are held and loved each and every day.

 My puppies go to new homes at 8 weeks of age & when I am sure they are eating well and drinking well. We have a variety of colors.  All of my puppies come with AKC papers, kit/food, a shot record showing all up-to-date shots, de-wormed, wee wee pads, a soft cozy blanket, a favorite toy and a doggie bed. I have testimonials on my website from some very happy Chihuahua owners who have my babies.   If you are looking for a nice loving Chi, call me and we can talk Chihuahua !
