--To accept and uphold the Standard of the Chihuahua as developed by the Chihuahua Club of America and approved by the AKC.
--To maintain or improve qualities of the Chihuahua breed asset forth in the standard, and not for personal gain. We will never knowingly sell puppies to wholesalers, laboratories or to pet stores and will encourage puppy buyers to behave similarly.

OUR STANDARDS
We will never knowingly allow the purchase/adoption of one of our puppies or adults without full disclosure to the prospective owner of any problems or potential problems with the animal. Our puppies are Vet checked and have age appropriate vaccines and wormings.
We also take "great pains" to desensitize our puppies before they venture out to their new homes. Each puppy is handled, loved and cuddled throughout the day. They are Wee Wee Pad trained. During they day they have full run of the house. At bedtime they are confined to an exercise pen that has plenty of room for their bed, food, water, wee wee pads, toys and chew treats. Our goal is to raise our puppies so they are a joy to their new owners and will be the best life long family members possible. If you have any questions or comments, you can reach us by Email.

The official A.K.C. Breed Standard describes the Chihuahua as a small dog that comes in two varieties or coat types. The difference in coat type (the Long Coat or the Smooth Coat) is the only official description used to identify a difference within this breed. Our Standard does not categorize the Chihuahua by size.
For the purpose of showing and record keeping, the American Kennel Club includes the Chihuahua (along with 16 other breeds) in the Toy Group. Therefore, irrespective of their weight or physical stature, ALL Chihuahuas registered with A.K.C. are considered to be a toy breed of dog. Unfortunately, the additional adjectives used to describe the size difference and physical appearances are many; and have been misused for so long they now seem legitimate. Tea-cup, Pocket Size, Tiny Toy, Miniature or Standard - are just a few of the many tags and labels that have been attached to this breed over the years. The Chihuahua Club of America is concerned that these terms may be used to entice perspective buyers into thinking that puppies described in this way are of greater monetary value. They are not; and the use of these terms is incorrect and misleading.
As with all living things, there will be a size variance between individual dogs within this breed. Within the human family, brothers and sisters will differ in height and in weight, as well as other physical attributes. They are described as humans, male or female, and there is seldom if ever a need to break the description down further. The same holds true in regard to the Chihuahua; they are Chihuahuas-Long Coat/Smooth Coat, Male/Female.
Occasionally, within a litter, there may be a puppy that is unusually small. That puppy is a small Chihuahua and any other breakdown in description is not correct. To attach any of these additional labels to a particular pup is to misrepresent that animal as something that is rare or exceptional and causes a great deal of confusion among those fanciers who are looking for a Chihuahua.
The Chihuahua Club of America does not endorse or condone the use of any of these terms and would caution the perspective puppy buyer not to be misled by them.
