(304) 986 - 9969
Located in north central West Virginia in the foothills of the Appalachians!
If you don't want to take a trip into the foothills, we'll meet you mid-way or ship
out of Pittsburgh for a fee to cover costs. The highway systems here are quite flat so you don't have to ascend any
"mountains".

Having moved to West Virginia from Minnesota, our moving in present
was an AKC Chihuahua, Dipstick, who started all this fun! With two long-term, well-educated groomer/breeders to educate,
mentor and counsel, we're well on our way to the show ring with Max's progeny and a good eye in training. Dipstick dances
across our Appalachian foothill with Hazel and the girls nipping at their heels.
OUR PUPPIES FOR SALE:
We have 4 to five puppies for sale, with quite a few litters due to be born during the months

ABOUT THE TYPE OF DOGS YOU GET FROM US:
Shehadda Victory (the brown and tan below) and her littermate, Lyrica Song of
Praise (the black and tan below Shehadda) are representative of Max's puppies. Max and his son, Rocket, are quickly
becoming the foundation sires of our Chihuahua lines, stamping Max's type on most of the puppies here. Max's beautiful
expression and personality is absolutely loved by everybody who meets his pupies. His puppies tend to take that
personality and face with them. Timmie beautifully compliments those puppies bringing in a dramatic "extreme" head into
the mix.
Many of these puppies are expected to look just like Shehadda and Lyrica (small
and short muzzles, smaller bodies, oval chests, good toplines and ruffs and...).

We are working cooperatively with two other breeders to produce the best-quality Chihuahuas
over several generations. We plan to head into the show ring with consistent "type" dogs, which means your dog should
have quality, health, and longevity.
We've chosen healthy dogs, free from diseases and illnesses for several generations.
We've brought in males to compliment the females' features.
We attend to the needs of the dogs over the needs of the budget, if necessary, and are
creating an addition to our house devoted to the Chihuahuas. We are keeping them vaccinated, clean, healthy and
socialized. As necessary, we give them vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients to give them that extra boost
of stamina before they leave our house. And if the dogs produce "tea-cups" from all that, then we consider it
a devine bonus, but not the goal.
My conscious has been pricked as I've discovered unscrupulous practices of withholding
proper feed to pregnant or lactating females in order to "downsize" the puppies. I have been bothered by over in-breeding
practices which cause the puppy to be tiny ---AND weak, leaving the defenseless dog for the vet to cure resultant
illnesses. All of this and more for the tiny-ness of the dog!
One can produce tiny dogs using responsible line-breeding and outcrossing
practices to pull out healthy characteristics. I am documenting the history of the lines we are creating and preparing
ancestrial portfolios for prospective breeders who want to know what's behind what we have here. I've been
surprised at the mis-information and the evasiveness of breeders trying to sell a dog as a breeder. I aim to inform
and am gathering photographical information on my dogs over the next few generations.
Each dog from our kennel requires a $100 deposit to cover re-advertising should the dog be returned.
Monies paid to us need to be cash or bank-drawn money order only, no checks.
