| Hey, its been awhile since we've emailed you, and I thought you might want to hear about Ali. Shes doing very good. At almost 5 months old she weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (last time she was at the vet,she may weigh a little more now). Shes very sweet and her and my daughter are great pals. Ali follows her all over and doesn't let anyone near her if she doesn't know them. Shes a great member of our family and we just wanted to say thanks. Shes very loved and greatly appreciated for who she is. Thanks again! Joe & Maria (pictures on the way, as soon as I get some batteries for my camera) (no picture provided) |

| Hey Shayna! Sorry it has taken so long to send you pics of my lil' man, but AGAIN our internet cable was knocked down by a truck and they are just now repairing it :) Anyway, Watson is growing bigger and bigger everyday. His last visit to the vet, which was Saturday, he weighed in at 2.4 lbs! He seems to enjoy it here and we love him so much...he is spoiled ROTTEN :) He so badly wants to play with the older dog (14 yrs old) and cat, but sadly they want nothing to do with him. I think they are jealous of his unmeasurable energy! Nonetheless, he enjoys running, romping and chasing insects in the backyard :) We are still working on the potty training, but making progress...slowly but surely... I guess that's about it for now, but I'll keep you updated. Thank you so much for my little bundle of joy! Love, Desha |
| Shayna, Falynne wanted her grandmother to write and tell you "Hello!" She is doing GREAT! She went for her second to last shots last Monday. She is so long and when we hold her and she stretches her neck, she looks like a giraffe (lol). I still call her piranha teeth cause when she shows her teeth that is EXACTLY what she looks like. She loves to cuddle and you can forget laying down without her being there. She especially like the nape of your neck. She loves to have her tummy rubbed too! I am putting some film in to be developed this weekend. Hopefully, I can send you SOMETHING and maybe you can post it on your website. I was wrong, her sabling is still there, though very subtle. She is just the cutest little thing, everyone loves her so much. She doesn't like being taken outside on a leash. Her ears fell back down and occasionally they seem like they are trying to stand up. They do stand "sideways" and she looks like she is receiving radar. Do you expect any pups soon? We moved to the outskirts of New Orleans (Slidell) to a BIG acre lot. One of my best friends lives down the street. She grew up with Chihuahuas and I think she would want one (like me before Falynne, she has TWO dogs). But she just loves to hold her and play with her. We will probably keep you updated off and on. Falynne sends a big lick and pulls your hair! Evelyn |
| Shayna, Epanah (Ee'-pan-ah: means beautiful in Korean. My wife calls her E-pea for short) is doing great. She is going back to the vet in a couple of weeks for her final shots. Epanah is still a ball of energy like most puppies. She is on the go about 20 hours a day. Our yard is about half an acre fenced in and she runs all over it. I attached a pic that we took about a week ago. Terry |
| I thought you might like to see some pictures of Vinny (Wilbur). He is really sweet and friendly, and never stops playing until he collapses in exhaustion. We are delighted with him! Judy & Sarah |
| I know that one of the attached photos says Dylan & Kelsey Birthday but it is really Maggie. She is a whopping 2.6 lbs and the doc says that is it. Her growth plates in her legs are grown as far as they will grow. Whe will fill out more but she is as tall as she is going to get. She has brought me so much happiness. I love her to pieces. The pic in the hat is now the Pet of the Week in our local newspaper. She started this habit when I went to visit my daughter in TN when it was so cold. I had the hat in my lap in the car and she crawled into it. She has many different colored hats and she loves them all but the original grey is her favorite. Thanks again for my friend Maggie, Candy |
| Hey Shayna, Jennifer and I wanted to update you on Simon. He now weighs 3.2 lbs and is a mess. He is such a great little guy. He keeps us laughing all day. Here is fairly recent photo of him. I will send you more as he gets older. Thanks for everything, Todd and Jennifer |
| Hey Shayna, I just wanted to let you know that Rocky is adjusting to his new home very well. He seems to enjoy being around anyone who'll stop to play with him or hold him. He is so playful and affectionate, and he loves to cuddle. We just love him! He is doing pretty well in his kennel, and he is learning to "potty" outside. He does a little yelping sometimes, but he is getting better. Well, I'll update you occasionally. Thanks for such a great puppy. Leah |
| This is Squirt, 5 months old. His new owner, Tiffany Stuckey (owner of Squirt's father, Mr.T.) brought him by to see us. He's a very sweet, calm little guy. He is white with blue spots and tan points. |
| Shayna, I know it's been a while since we've communicated. Everytime I go to get the camera to take pix of Izzy and Leah, my husband has the good camera. Izzy is now 4.3 lbs on his last doctor's appointment. He is current on all of his vaccinations, etc. He is a pistol! Just as happy and lovable as can be. We're still working on the potty training thing. We're looking into getting him spayed when it's time. As I correct that 5 months is around the time we should get tim taken care of. What do yo suggest? What is a going rate? Will talk soon! La Tanya |
| Hello Shayna! Hope everything is going well with you!! Just wanted to let you know that Scruffy (who we call Memphis) is doing great. He is pottying outside pretty good, but at night when we put him in his bed, boy does he have a fit!!! I tried to keep him up most of the day yesterday so he would be tired and it helped a bit, but he cries all night long. Hopefully he'll adjust soon. He didn't eat so good for the first couple of days but now he is pigging out. He and sophie, our rat terrier are getting along good, and the toy rat terrier next door and he have hit it off and play some everyday. I'll send you some pictures as soon as I download them, all in all we just love him and we are so thrilled he is a member of our family. How did the litter come out Tuesday? Did she have anymore? I think she had 3 when I was there. Hope it all went well. Take care and I'll update you again soon. Angie |
| Hi Shayna, Just wanted to let you know that Max is doing GREAT! He's the sweetest puppy ever and I love him! He's still not quite potty trained, but we're getting there. Everyone who's met him has fallen in love...he's SOOO good with people-adults and children. He hasn't been around too many other dogs, but is always very interested when he comes across one. We're going to get him neutered later this month. His shots are all up to date and the vet thinks he's precious! Thanks, again, for a wonderful pet. He's the best! Robin Oh, your new pups are cuties, too...not as cute as Max, of course! "-) |
| SHAYNA, FINALLY HERE ARE PICS OF OUR LITTLE GIRL "MARGUERITA" OR AS YOU CALLED HER "PENNY". SHE BRINGS SUCH JOY TO US AND ALL OF OUR FAMILIES JUST LOVES HER. THANKS, SHANNON AND TERRI |
| Shayna, I hope all is well after the hurricane. I read that you're expecting a few litters by Christmas. That's great! I wanted to give you an update on Morgan. He is doing great! Last vet visit he weighed 2.75lbs. Can you believe he is 3 months already? He's such a joy to be around. He is turning a carmel color with white spots. His markings are so cool. I bought him a tent today at the store. I have a few pictures of him in it. It's getting cold here and I can't find a sweater/jacket small enough so I bought a dog pattern and my mom is going to make him a jacket. Lisa |
| Hi Shayna - How are you doing? Just wanted to send an update and a few pictures of Cabo and Daisie. They are both doing great! We are enjoying them so much. We have returned to our home in Pass Christian about 3 weeks ago from our relocation in Florida after the hurricane. We only had minimal damage to our home (a few shutters blew off) and no water inside the house (just in the garage). This entire experience of moving around and being in the car alot has created two very accomodating puppies! They have no problem at all with being in the car. At their vet appointment last week, Cabo weighed in at 4.0 lbs and Daisie is holding her petite frame at 3.3 lbs. They are doing pretty good with the potty training. They love to go outside and from the first time understood they "should" potty out there. Of course, they still use the paper inside at times and at night. Take Care! lena :) |
| Shayna, As promised I am sending you some pictures of Lola. I can't tell you enough how much of a joy she has brought to my life. I just love her so much and she is SO spoiled its not even funny! Hope things are going well with you. I saw where you have more puppies born. They are gorgeous! Talk to you later! Sandy |
| Hi Shayna, Well, Miss Sassy is doing really well. She has really made herself at home. The other pups are beginning to warm up to her and play with her. They also put her in her place when they have had enough. She runs at them and tries to jump up on their backs. She already knows her name very well. And, tonight, they are all on the sofa, and I started encouraging them to sing. You should have heard. Sunny, Shadow, and, yes, even Sassy, were all howling to the top of their lungs. My neighbors must have thought I was killing them. Sunny tries really hard, but he can't carry a tune. Shadow does better and little Sassy does great. She is a smart little thing also. She is learning really fast about commands such as inside, outside, come. She is housebreaking faster than any of the others. She has taken a special liking to Sunny and he seems to enjoy it. It is so amazing to see how they get to know each other and interact. Anyway, just had to let you know all this stuff. I will send some pics as soon as I can find my camera. Talk to you later. Donna |
| Hey Shayna Just wanted to send u an update on Chase. So far he is doing excellent. He just had another checkup and had his rabies shot. The doctor says he is doing great. Chase is actually 7 lbs. I am not sure if that is overweight but he looks like an average chihuahuha to me. Well we still are in the dog-training process. Well everyday we take Chase outside to use the bathroom. I take him when I get up for school and bring him back in when I leave which is about 5:45 to 6:20 and I take him back out when I get home from school which is like 3:30 and we take him out again at 10:00 which is his final time after we take him out at that time. Thanks Shauna |
| I've been putting off dropping you a line because I was thinking I'd send a photo with my message, but since I keep forgetting to make a digital photo, I'll have to put that off. Lily has completely settled in and we're loving her so much. I got tired of correcting Alex, so we let him rename her "Leelah". She is the complete belle of the ball everywhere we take her. The cats have finally made peace with the fact that she's living with us, so everything's settled down. --Ann |
| Hi Shayna, just wanted to update you on Foxy...she is sooo sweet and I love her so much. Here are some pics of her. She loves going to my mom's to visit with her big German Shepard friends who she likes to sleep on...lol Charlene |
| Hello, I just wanted to send you a pic of Eli. He's such a good dog and loves to play. Ed |
| Hello, I just wanted to let you know that we had the first vet visit on Tuesday, and today we ordered the NuVet and sent the CKC papers. My dad insists on calling her "Pickle" because she is so little, and she seems to respond to it, lol, so we changed her name to that. I have some videos and pictures I am putting together of her and I can send them to you when I am finnished if you would like. So far she is doing extremely well, she eats, sleeps and plays all day, she especially like to take naps with me on the couch. I originally was going to be the only person caring for her and now my parents steal her from me every chance they get because they like her so much! Everyone loves her, she is well behaved and is doing well with her house breaking. I've taken her on a few trips out and she is very well behaved in the car and my purse and although she gets nervous at first, she enjoys meeting new people and they sure seem to like meeting her! Her only problem when we first got her was seperation anxiety but she's doing better everyday, especially with her crate. My friend liked her so much she's thinking of getting one herself. She really is a great puppy! -Robyn |
| Hey Shayna, I just wanted to say thanks for selling me the best puppy in the world! I renamed him AGAIN..it was Ziggy..but its Jack now and forever. I couldn't ask for a more perfect puppy. He goes with me everywhere and he is such a good puppy. He's playful and happy and best of all...house broken! He's my gorgeous little Angel & I'm so thankful. Take care. Angela |
| Good Morning Shayna, Just thought I’d keep in touch and let you know that Spike is doing wonderful and everyone has totally fallen in love with him. He is quite the spoiled one. He has done wonderful from day one. Here are a couple of pics of him now (the last one is with my mom the day we picked him up from the airport). Thanks, Stephanie |
| Hi Shayna & family ;) Just thought we would update you guys on how great Amigo (Sid) is doing! HE has turned into such a handsom young man, and so very smart! He is always getting comments on how pretty he is, and everyone wants to pet hima nd love on him when we go out for walks. Which he really enjoys, since he thinks he is a rock star or celebrity of some sort at least LOL. He lost the last of his baby teeth this last week, which I have kept for his "puppy book". The vet said hes a happy, well socialized and health little guy at his last check up for shots. We just wanted to say thank you for breeding such a good puppy! Laurie |
| Shayna, I finally got a decent digital camera and thought you'd like to see what the boys are looking like. They are very happy and loving. I never dreamed they would be so colorful. I don't even know how to describe Stitches colors, can you? I hope all is well with you and your chichi family. Thankyou for bringing my precious boys to life with your loving care. God Bless, Tricia |
| Hi Shayna how are you?... Copper/Quincy/the baby is doing SUPERB so far!!!!... He has a doctors apt. Today (Thursday) to get another shot... Everything has gone quite well.. Hes attitude and behavior is spectacular.... House training is rough at times, but hes still growing. We are going to be starting puppy classes June 20th in puppy obedience!! Everyone just loves him, my vet the vet techs, my teachers and of course all of his family!.... He's adorable and i couldn't be happier....... I have attached sum pictures, but they don't nearly do a justification to truly how cute he really is!!!................ The one and only downfall recently, is my amount of working hours has increased and Ive been leaving him alone longer than i like. He is in a whole room to himself, however to much guilt is put on me. I think its time to start looking to get him a companion.! How often do you have litters? and will u have any from his same parents again?.. Please let me know and that would be great.. I will be sure to keep you up to date on him!... and again thank you for everything and such a wonderful Baby! p.s. Hes about 4lbs.5 oz, but still has to grow into his big ears! hehe Danny |
| Hey Shayna, I just wanted to send along this new picture of Tweek or 'Andy' as you remember him. We took it at Jeremy's send off to the war in Afghanistan. I sewed him his own little combat jacket and got the doggles (which he hates and we can only get him to wear momentarily but the picture is awesome) Anyway we figured you may like to put it up on your website :) Oh and we've been following the National Geographic Channel's 'Dog Whisperer' (Cesar Millan)'s advice and would highly recommend it for any of your future owners. Seems the key is walk, walk walk! LOL Anyway hope all is well on your end! As Always, J & T |
| Hey Shayna, I just wanted to send you an email of some pictures of Paddy. I don't know if you remember us or not. I adopted him from you about 2 years ago when you still lived in Baton Rouge. I always go to your website to look at the cute little puppies you have. I always say I'm going to email you some pics but something always comes up. I saw a picture of him on your page and I decided to go ahead and do it :-) He looks just like his daddy, Pedro. I hope all is well in Arkansas and you enjoy the pictures. Kassie |
| Hi there. Chowder passed his vet exam with flying colors today. He is doing quite well. The only problem he's having is sleeping at night, and all puppies have that. :) I'm attaching a photo of Savanna and Chowder in one of his new shirts. He's adjusted to wearing them; I think he realizes that it's a bit colder here. Anyway, I'll send more pictures soon. Thanks! Traci |
| Hello Shayna! Just wanted to let you know Bianca is doing great! She is VERY smart! We are all in love with her! Thanks so much for making such a beautiful and loving baby! Misty |
| Hey there Shayna, Just wanted to let you Know Tialyn Is doing great!!! She loves the kids and is very playful...I can't get over how great she is!! Tia has completed her vet checks and all of her shots for the year,She took everything like a champ. She is 5 pounds now and a very high stepper.. She is such a cutie ...When we give her a treat her one front leg goes up and her eyes get so soft!!! I will have to send you pics soon!! Hope you and your family are well. Judy and Tialyn |
| Hello Shayna, Just wanted to give you an update on little Oliver. He went yesterday for neutering. All went well, and he's seems back to his happy, bouncy self today! Once again our vet says he is a perfect chihuahua. He says he is a wonderful example of the breed, and the healthiest puppy he's ever seen!! I told him all about the Nutra Vet, and told him it all starts with a great breeder. He agreed, and wrote down your website for future reference. They also took a copy of your business card to hang in the office! He says he will definitely recommend you if anyone is interested in getting a chihuahua. He says Oliver is very lucky to have such a loving home, and he can't wait to meet Kiki. Me too! We are so excited to meet little miss "low rider"! lol Talk to you soon, Joey |
| Shayna, Oh we are doing absolutely wonderful. He weighs about 7 pounds 6 ounces. His hair is getting pretty long too. Max is probably the happiest most out going loving dog I have ever been around. He loves to play, what looks like soccer, with our ping pong balls which is pretty funny to watch! But he LOVES to eat and he LoVeS to chew on dingo bones! But thanks for asking! Ragen |
| Shayna, I REALLY meant to send this email a long time ago but never could remember when i was sitting down in front of my computer. Bubba was renamed Chico and frequently gets called the Taco Bell dog! But I can't tell you how perfect he has been for us. He is spoiled rotten but loves everyone. We take him everywhere and have from the beginning. He is growing like a weed. No matter where we take him someone comments on him, from little kids to grown men. He gets all the attention. He has learned several tricks including boxing and the latest one is praying (really cute). He loves his momma (my daughter) and even goes with her to her dad's when she goes to visit him. Down there he has made friends with thier yorkie and her grandma's two labs! He has been great and we all love him bunches. Thank you so much for recommending him. If i can ever remember to grab the camera i'll send pics! Thanks! All the Akins & Chico |
| I was just giving you an update on Lucky (aka Grant). He is doing well and is a wonderful playful puppy and a big hit with the daughter and husband and the other dog in the house. He is eating well and sleeping well for us at night. We truly love him and are going to enjoy having him. Cicelie |
| Here is some recent pics of Zoey (Telulah). She is fitting in real good lol. She is pretty much running the house. My kids love her! My other dog Chopper is loving having a play mate. He is real gentle with her. Ive been taking her out on walks around the neighborhood and she just loves it. She trys to play with my neighbors cats lol. But they dont want to have anything to do with her. Ill keep sending you some more pics to update her progress. Thanks again. Jodie and Family |
| just thought u would like to see him....hes a sweetie...and a joy to have Heather |
| Shayna, I just wanted to let you know that "Grady" has made such a wonderful addition to our family. He gets along with everyone and I love that he, like Rosita, is quite the little snugglebug! They both sleep with me at night and love to hog as much of the bed as possible! He has so much energy that it wears me out just watching him :) and he seems to have a natural curiosity for everything that moves! He is perfect! Thank you Shayna!!! Megan |
| Hi, we got in about 5 and Nate was here already and had meet everyone except us. Is still leary but interested in the cat, as is he of Nate, but a few days and they will be fine. He loves everyone, and had had a great trip with Jane and Larry. He had a great vacation with them to Louisianna, and I think they bonded pretty well. She said he did really well. He is beautiful, alert, interested, playful, and loving. He basically asked us for food and water this afternoon, and is learning he doesn’t care for the cat food! He loves our yard and grass and runs around like a great big dog! Wilfred loves how he stands in his ShowDog stance! He curled up under Wilfred’s feet for a short nap on our back porch, as he hasn’t had one much of the afternoon. I’m sure he will sleep well this afternoon. He loves his crate and toys. He isn’t crazy about his leash yet, but does okay, and is so cute. Being used to a big dog, we are having to watch our feet. We think once he settles into a routine he will be just fine. I will work on the papers when he gets back to sleep. We are in Birmingham tonight, and tomorrow so he can meet everyone here, and will head to Tuscaloosa tomorrow afternoon to his other home. He will be lots of fun. You did a great job with him. I’ll send a picture of us and Nate as soon as I can get one taken and off the camera. Mary Gail (Alabama) |
| Hi, Shayna, I just thought I would give you a quick update on Ace...we named him Wilson. He recently got his last set of shots and he is doing great. He has a really sweet personality and is very confident with himself around our three cats and our bigger, older chihuahua. His eyes have stayed a sort of darker denim blue color. I think he is starting to look a little like his dad Dante in the face (how he looks like he's smiling) and has long legs like his mom Maya in her photos. He can run like a little bullet! He loves people and has gotten to be buddies with our other chihuahua. The older one acts protective of Wilson around the cats and even runs around and rounds him up when it's time to come in from going outside! Anyway, I don't have a picture to send today, but I will try to do that sometime. We still enjoy going to chichibabies.com to see all of your babies. Have a good day! Cara (Arkansas) Ace/Wilson (born 7-18-08) |
| I just wanted to thank you again for the puppy, Who's name is still undecided. lol! Her introduction to everyone was SMOOTH. She fits in like she's always been here. I'm sending you a couple pics of her and if it's alright, I'll continue to send you pics of her as she grows. In the one pic she's sittin in my lap watchin me surf the net, She'll be doing that a lot I'd imagine! lol Second pic of her is her and my cat Cleo. Cleo, to my surprise fell in love in with her straight away. Cleo was looking at her like, Hey.. You're in MY spot! Priscilla |

| Hi again Shayna, I am looking for a LC male chi. I noticed Ian... I bought Gidget a few years ago from you she was the offspring of Ricco and Luna. She is wonderful, we love her so much. Thanks, Shifawn |

| elmo is really tiny & my older dog thinks that elmo is his baby & i was the very first one to hold elmo & he kissed my face all over Erin |
| Shayna, I thought you might like to see recent pictures of Buddy. His coat is still growing longer and the feathering on his legs is beautiful. He is now over 8 months old and weighs 5.1 lbs, his weight would probably be lighter in a home that does feed treats so freely. He stands 7 inches at his shoulder. We thought our first Chihuahua was small but he is even smaller. He is a very good watchdog and really lets out the noise when he hears something out of the ordinary. He is a real sweetie and we feel blessed to have him. Joyce |

| Hi Shayna, I meant to write you sooner, busy with holidays. Carmen is a little doll! We just love her, to death. She has a great balance of fiesty and sweet personality! She went to the vet on Wednesday, weighed 2.15 lbs. and he said she was perfect. I'm changing her over slowly to Royal Canin puppy food, she seems to really like it. I'm attaching a couple of pics, will keep writing you every so often with updates! Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and your family! Krystal Stuart (Arkansas) |
| Hi Shayna, This is Stephanie Peterson, we got a little puppy boy from you names Quimby. I just want to update you on how he is doing. He is the best thing that has been brought into my life. His personality is the best. He loves to play with our big dog windancer and he rules the house. I would like to know if you have any blue long haired little girls or will have any available in the future? I want to get another puppy from you and we have told lots of people about you. Please let me know on future puppies. I will try and send you a picture of Quimby in the next few days. He is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Stephanie Peterson, Lehigh Acres FL |
| Hi Shayna, Here is a picture of my dad and the dogs that I took over Christmas. I named Ivan "Yuki" it means snow in japanese and he is mostly white and it was snowing the day I got him, so I thought that fit. He is definitely a little bouncy thing. He's so much fun, though! Him and binkie play together all the time!! Then they cuddle up and take naps together. Just wanted to give you an update. -Katie |

I'm attaching a couple of pics, will keep writing you every so often with updates! Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and your family! Krystal |
| Hi Shayna, How are you???... Hope all is going well with you and your family!!! I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you earlier! Cortez Is doing just superb....Being my second purchase from you, I can not thank you enough! Your dogs are truly one of a kind. It's the breed, your moms and dads, the atmosphere, and of course the love and care you and your family provides that shapes them into the special dogs that they are. Cortez just got officially certified with the United States Registry for service dogs, so now he goes EVERYWHERE with me in his designer dog bags (lol) including Restaurants, the mall, the spa, grocery store and everything in between :). He is such a delight and truly has made the loss of Cooper (Quincy) much easier. Everyone always asks me what he is, as he has all the good attributes of the Chihuahua and NONE of the bad. No yippy yip barking, no aggressiveness, just true calm TLC. (and a huge % of that is related to how you raise them!) I will be sure to attach pictures of him soon! P.s. He is going to be 1 year old this month and he weighs a healthy 4.9lbs With ever so much appreciation, Danny (Last but not least, I hope when people are out "shopping for a new dog for there family" they do a lot of research and strongly consider you as there breeder, you have provided more than just a dog to my life and have always been there for support with answers to any and all of my questions. Your pricing is so reasonable, and yet you provide some of the healthiest puppies I have ever come across) This and so much more, shows your love and passion for what you do. Again, Thank you Shayna |
| Hi Shayna, This is Stephanie Peterson, we got a little puppy boy from you names Quimby. I just want to update you on how he is doing. He is the best thing that has been brought into my life. His personality is the best. He loves to play with our big dog windancer and he rules the house. I would like to know if you have any blue long haired little girls or will have any available in the future? I want to get another puppy from you and we have told lots of people about you. Please let me know on future puppies. I will try and send you a picture of Quimby in the next few days. He is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Stephanie |
| Hi Shayna! Sorry for not talking to you sooner! I've been super busy with school, swim team & work. We thought you'd like to see some pics of Ella. She went to the Vet for her 12 week shots & everything is going great. She's growing fast, has a great appetite and gets along with the other animals. Ella is so sweet and everyone has fallen in love with her. We are taking Ella to PETSMART today so she can pick out a new toy. I will keep in touch with you and send you more pics as Ella continues to grow. Lindsay and Family |
| Hi Mrs Shayna, I hope your doing well! i wanted to send you a email telling you all about our adorable baby Lexi. She is the most adorable, hysterical, bundle of joy that i have ever had! she is so sweet and so funny! She is already walking on a leash and sleeps in the bed with Jeremy at night no problem. She is ALMOST potty trained YAY!! She had her first check up and got a little snippy when they kept dumping medicine in her nose but i don't blame her. The vets gave us a clean bill of health, and she was good to go! So far everybody that has played with her or just held her has fallen in love with her. She gets along GREAT with Jeremy's 3 pugs but of course the Akita and her don't come in contact, she would be the perfect scooby snack for the Akita. She also gets along great with my aunts 3 dogs too. She is truely a sight to see when she is fired up and ready to play. I can not thank you enough for giving us this amazing baby girl and working with us. We are a tad difficult and rather picky with dogs and I wanted to thank you for dealing with us through it all, i know it was not always easy. It was great to finally meet you and see how you raise your adorable little chi's. Again i want to thank you so much and i'm sure i will have more soon. Thanks again Lauren |
| Hey Shayna - things are going great. The other 2 accepted here and they play non-stop. She is just a tiny ball of energy. It's been raining here non-stop so we have been using the potty pads so far. A few accidents, but she is getting great at using the pads. This week we'll start working on outside. She sleeps straight through the night, which has been a nice surprise! Thanks for checking! John |
| hey shayna-- sable aka cali is doing awesome, she has grown on our family already. she is so playful it is so cute, she is such a good little girl. the housetraining is going really good, she has had only a couple accidents, which is so good! she is such a cuddle bug too! we just love her! here is a picture of her. she went to the vet last wednesday and weighed in at 1.6 pounds, what a little peanut! i also attached a picture of cali and my other chi chloe. they play all day together. thank you, jaimie |
| Amigo is doing great he took to going potty outside like he had always done it, he does have accidents every once in a while but he's doing good. I finally found a small treat to reward him when he does both (pee and poop) outside, it took buying three different treats before I found one that was small enough and he likes. He's a mess, a cute mess and he's doing wonderful. I hope you have a great evening. Piper Anzaldua |
| Hi yes that is me . I love her . she is very smart. Extremely smart . She also wants to be picked up so I think she figures out if she goes then I pick her up again. Very lovey dovey little thing I was nervous about this but I love the dog I can tell she is going to be a great dog already . What a great breeder you are ! Vet took a look and all is well. Just doing a preventative on the worm thing but she is perfect. Never even got any tummy upset from the trip or anything . I will keep you posted Pam |
| Hi Shayna! This weekend has been so much fun and we are deliriously tired! I have been so busy with Tessa that it has taken this long to update. I looks like you sent me a mouse! I forgot how little Chi's can be. She has got to be the most beautiful Chihuahua I have ever seen (Well, Rosey is an awesome red Chihuahua!). The brindle color is amazing! We got back from the vet and she is healthy,of course: She weighs 1.8 pounds. . She did get her required shot and she tested positive for Coccidia, from what I read is very common for puppies. She has the Albon medication and will go back for another vet check on April 5th. I must of looked like a dork because I thought they were going to give her a dose of the medication before we left. They didn't because if she got car sick she would of required another dose of Albon. So I am sitting in the examination room for 15 minutes for nothing. They were probably thinking- what is wrong with her? Just another neurotic pet owner.... Tessa's little playpen is pictured below. The box with what looks like astro turf is her "litter" box. As for accidents, it has been minimal (maybe three) She took to it like a duck to water. When we got home from the airport the weather took a turn for the worse, and it would have been really difficult to try to take her outside to potty. I was worried that she was constipated because when I got her from the airport, I found a grassy spot to take her outside. She was having trouble and was straining for awhile. She did not have an accident in her crate so she seemed to be plugged up a little. Then when she got rid of the plug she would have put an elephant to shame. She didn't have diarrhea, just copious amounts of poop for awhile. When I got her from the airport, it was like I was picking up a celebrity. There was someone that wanted to take a picture of her because they had never seen a dog so small. All the ooohs and ahhhs. There was another person picking up their dog and was admiring Tessa. Our first meeting was incredible- what a love she is! She cuddled right away and took some of the nutra-cal right away. Her crate was a little soaked but luckily she was not. I think, with all the literature sent in the puppy pack and information on the website, we prepared well and the 65 mile drive home was comfortable for her. She seems to have everything a baby Chihuahua needs and she eats very well. I mixed her nu vet vitamins with a little chicken baby food. I don't have to coax her to eat it- she pretty much wolfs it down. She crates very easily. The first night she wimpered a bit but her crate is near my bed- a little soft reassurances let her know that we aren't far and she nestles down into her little blanket. A two AM litter box run prevents any accidents and she is good to go until 6AM. Timing couldn't have been better- both girls are home from Buffalo and Oswego. They will be able to put in a little quality bonding time and post pictures on their Facebook accounts. Our greyhound is very gentle and seems afraid to go near her but will sit in the middle of the floor during a play session acting like a dignified prop. Once in awhile he will sniff her and see what she's all about but I think he has already accepted her into the family. Rosey, the Chihuahua will adjust. Just like a child, she will need reassurance that she is equally loved. We have went on a couple of adventures just her(Rosey) and me. It will take time. My husband is like a marshmallow around Tessa and will remind the kids to be quiet if she is napping and will cuddle with her for afternoon siestas. He asked for pictures to take to work. She loves the rubber chicken and a furry fuzzy fox (not pictured). I haven't heard her bark yet. Developmental? (Pictured) Tessa (Lupita) taking a well deserved nap! I just wanted to let you know that Tessa is loved and is doing just fine! Her laid back and friendly personality will fit well into our family. We have so many adventures planned-I can't wait. The love she gives to us will not be taken for granted and rest assured she will be loved back and taken care of to the best of our ability. Many thanks to you and your family- I am so glad I stumbled on to your website. Cindy |
| Hi Shayna, Here are some pics of Bella. Some are not that great in quality but you can plainly see how beautiful she really is. She is seven months old now and she is an absolute blast!! She and Tori are getting along a lot better now although she definitely has more energy than Tori (who is 6yrs old). Bella's coat has come in very nicely and is soft and gorgeous in color. She is now well potty trained (accidents are rare now) and socializes great with people and other animals. I'm really happy and lucky to have her! She has an appointment to be spade next week. Eventually I want to get another puppy but it will be after I find a house I like enough to buy. Thanks Again for all your help in picking out the right puppy. I'll keep in touch Todd |
| Here is Tyra (Maddie) yesterday. She is doing so well. She uses the pee pee pad no matter where I put it. She is eating VERY good and loves her treats. She is getting accustomed to her "purse" because I take her somewhere nearly everyday. I go at lunch to check on her so she is only locked up for 5 hours at a time. I have not yet started taking her outside though. Her personality could not be more perfect. She plays, sleeps,eats, pee pee, poo poo and starts over again. She has been socializing very well and has not found a stranger yet. I have my nephews and niece coming for Thanksgiving and they will be able to play with her and her get used to them. I love, love, love her and my husband is also in love. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her before we got her. Pamela |
| Hey Shayna! I've been wanting to write you and tell you how great Bentley is. So when I went to email you and saw his little baby picture on your home page I thought it was funny. I just wanted to tell you he is the best dog ever! My mom (who is definitely not a dog lover) loves him. She has even considered coming to you to get a puppy. He is doing great though. He tolerates a lot from our 2 1/2 year old wanting to carry him around and trying to have him play dress up or baby dolls with him. He has become very protective of her and if she starts to cry or anything he comes to find us and tries to take us with him to get her. We absolutely love him and he is the best dog we could ever have gotten for our family. Tanks so much for the great dog and addition to our family! Courtney |
| Hi I am sorry that I have not written or sent pictures for them but thing have been really busy. Here are some pictures of them, they are doing great!. Sandra |
| Dear Shayna, I just wanted to update you on the puppies: Hattie: Her new name is Coco Chanel and is definitely the new princess in town and lets everyone know by the way she "struts her stuff". She is just so adorable and we are all making a big fuss over her. My older female Chihuahua (who I rescued last year) is "mothering" her making sure she is safe! Coco is particularly fond of my Dad's Chihuahua "Taco"…she follows him everywhere when we visit next door. She is using a wee-wee pad and I am so proud of her! Casey: His new name is Chester and very well adjusted to his new home. Happy-go-lucky, he loves to go out in the back yard and run laps in circles! My Dad's other dog, Taco is always in the recliner with my Dad while watching TV and my Dad figured that Chester would be great for my Mom's lap…well, that's not happening…my Dad now has two lap dogs!! Taco and Chester are best friends and they are both always on my dad's heels. Shayna, your Chihuahua's are second to none and your entire family really deserves an award for the way you make them part of your family from the day they are born. It has been amazing to see the love and attention you all give these babies through your weekly updates. It makes all the difference in the world in the quality of the little personalities. These babies are not little cowards hiding in a corner somewhere. They are well-socialized and arrived in our home happy and anxious to play! Anyone thinking of purchasing a Chihuahua from anyone else would be crazy! I thank your family from the bottom of my heart and please be assured that we will love and care for these babies as much as you have! I will send you pictures in a few days. All my love, Joanne |
| Hi Shayna, I hope all is well. Raisin (Desi) is doing well. She's housetraining well. I just wanted to say hello and share a photo! Xoxo Marilyn |
| Hi, Shayna! Hope all is well! Just to let you know... Kruz (aka Victor) had his surgery 14 days ago. :( He has turned out to be an awesome little handsome puppy! A million people EVERYDAY tell me how cute and adorable he is and want to breed him with their puppies! It sort of made me feel bad! I had no idea he was so unique... I know I adored him but everyone says they Have NEVER seen Chi baby like him! Anyway... how do we proceed? Do I need to mail you a copy of the receipt or something? His Registered Name is to be: Kruz Abu Bear and it fits him perfectly! He's always cruzin' and he climbs all over me like Abu, the monkey from Alladin. Is it typical to add your last name to the name? If it is... tag onto it Johnson. Thanks, Shayna! Let me know what's next! Kim |
| Hi Shayna, Sorry about the delayed response. I haven't been on email in weeks. They girls are doing great ! They are so loving and playful. Housebreaking has good days and bad days. We just had our last shots for now yesterday. Zara weighs 3.4 lbs and Zoey weighs 4.0. They are such a blessing to us. Just what we needed. It's amazing how much love and happiness these two little girls have added to our family. They do keep us busy and on our toes. I have pics on my facebook. I'll send you a friend request, so you can get on there and see them. Thanks so much for the email ! Robyn |
| Hi Shayna, I wanted to drop you a line with a Pico update :) She is an AMAZING puppy, and a wonderful addition to our family! I cannot say enough about what a great temperament she has…and she is off the charts cute too. She sits in my lap the whole time I work, but loves playing (especially fetch) and taking walks just as much as cuddling. Pico was spayed the other week…and the first day was heartbreaking to see her in pain (they did give her meds), but she rebounded wonderfully. I knew she was better the next day because she snuck into the laundry room and stole a sock from the laundry basket (her favorite game :) She also house trained SO quickly…just a very easy and easy to love chi. I get stopped anywhere I take her…she walks so well on her leash and is simply sweet. Pico is just over 7 pounds… petite and elegant. Her posture is gorgeous. Please see attached photos (have to put a hand in once and awhile to help with scale as she is so petite). Hope all is going well for you! Best, Jessica |

| Hi Shayna! I just wanted to drop you a note and update you on Bosco (Ean). He had his neutering surgery last week, and they had to take out 4 baby teeth that hadn't come out while he was under the anesthesia. He's doing really well, though, and is having no trouble at all with eating. The pain medication that they gave us does make him a little bit clumsy and sleepy, though. Over the holidays, he got to meet lots of our family members, and everybody loved him! He is super-friendly and really likes to be around lots of people so that he can go from lap to lap and get lots of snuggles and petting. The people at the vets office say that he's the sweetest chi that they've ever worked on because he's so calm and unafraid of being in different situations. From what they said, I guess a lot of the smaller dogs that they get in are fear biters, so he seems like a magic puppy since all he wants to do is give kisses and cuddle. :) He's not very pleased with going outside in the snow now, since it's as high as he is tall these days, so we are letting him potty in the cat box. He picked that up really quickly! Ian says that he's a genius pup, and I definitely agree! I hope your family had a great holiday season, and that winter isn't treating you too badly :) -Addie |
| Just a note to tell you that Sissy (whose new name is "Tamale") is doing AWESOME! I could not possibly be more in love with her! She and Fajita play together and sleep together off and on all day. She has figured out how to fit in my lap with Fajita for nap time! I just adore her! So smart! So social! So FILLED with personality! She has a wardrobe like you wouldn't believe to keep her warm! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!! She is sleeping here in my lap as I type this. [:)] I will be back! These little ones are like potato chips! I tell EVERYBODY where she came from! Bridget |
| hello, just wanted to send you an update. Xavier is doing great. We renamed him pixel. We couldnt believe how well behaved he is. The vet gave him a clean bill of health today, too. He didn't even cry on his first night home. He gets along great with everyone and is already whining to go outside when he needs to go potty. I dont know how you do it, but he is the best behaved puppy i have ever seen for his age, and I've had dogs all my life. I thank you and commend you and your family for our fantastic furball. If we ever decide to add another, i know who we'll be calling. Best Regards, Mandy and Dairen |
| Dear Shayna, The boys are developing very well. They walked in here the first night, and settled in instantly, playing. eating, using wee wee pads. In fact, they have never made a sound during any night. We put them to bed, and they go to sleep almost instantly, wrapped around each other. Of the two, Herman, still very small, is the brave one. Just this afternoon, he rushed up to a huge Golden Retriever and barked into his face. The big dog was mystified, although he sensed Herman wasn't aggressive. Right on. That's how Herman forces Bradley to play with him. Bradley is a sweetheart, but no hero of the revolution. He is very nervous outside, although he is improving. These two look like tiny gladiators when they fight. The sounds are horrifying. Yet, no marks, bruises, wounds of any kind. Just when I think one will kill the other, they stop and start to chew the same toy. At first my husband thought that Herman was a persecuted saint. I caught him on the iPhone, tirelessly annoying Bradley. Once in awhile, I interrupt the war with a distraction. I throw a favorite chewy into the fray.They stop, assess the item, and usually start playing with it. Most of their play is adorable to watch. Tugging on the same toy is a favorite. We bought them a pair of stuffless squeaky toys that they throw around, hide and use as tuggies. A crude version of soccer with a ball almost as big as Herman is also a feature. In the morning, they are both little love bugs. Herman curls up on my husband's lap with the intention of staying there all day. Bradley likes to be with me under a Chihuahua blanket that belonged to our beloved Casper. He snuggles in. and falls asleep. He, too, would like a nice long stay. These are great puppies. We thank you and your family for socializing them so well. Two women who live here have Chihuahuas because they fell in love with Casper. If these two have fans who want Chihuahuas, I will surely recommend you. Best, Mary |
| Hi Shayna! Mojave is doing Great! He is every bit as gorgeous and lovable as you promised. We are happy to report that he had no problem eating the first night (However, by the facial expressions he made, we're guessing he wasn't a fan of the Nutrical we gave him at the airport LOL). He is quickly adapting to our family and routine. The other animals have taken to him very nicely which we are obviously pleased about :) The first night he was not eager to be put back in the crate for bed time. However, after a few minutes of crying, Jessica started to sing him a lullaby and he instantly stopped crying and fell right to sleep. It was the cutest thing. By last night, after some crate training work the previous days, he was able to go in his crate with no crying. YAY!! :) Potty training is coming along and he is getting the hang of it more and more every day. We are also thrilled to see early signs of him being a Very smart boy. He has already amazed us several times in the few short days he's been here with how quickly he learns and observes us. We can tell this is a result of good breeding, and the great care you as the breeder show to your puppies while in your care. He is a very special boy, everything we hoped for and more. Thank you for checking in and we will keep you updated on his progress. Beckham and Jessica P.S. We have attached some photos, hope you enjoy. |
| Hi Shayna, I just thought I'd email you and give you a status update on life with Toddy (Panda as y'all knew her). She has been such a joy and blessing to my husband and me!!!! We could not be happier with her, and love her to pieces! Hands down, I think she is the best dog I've owned. I can't thank you enough for your patience in helping me when I was looking for her. We are so happy and blessed to have her! She is such a cuddle bug and sweet heart!!! I've attached a few pictures of her so you can see our sweet little girl. Thanks again for such a sweet baby girl! Ashton PS - Looking at your website makes me want another little one! :) |
| Hey Shayna, We've had our little Indiana Jones (aka Marley) neutered today. I looked on the website for the form you needed once we had completed the neutering. When can we get his registration paperwork? Thanks Roni P.S...I've had a couple people inquiring about baby Chihuahuas and have directed them to your website..We've so enjoyed our little social butterfly, Indy. He has molded perfectly into our family and is quickly dispelling all those "Chihuahua don't like children rumors"..he does so well with our 7 year old..thanks again! |
| Brook has become Frankie and is adjusting quite nicely. She whined the first night but did much better last nite. Yesterday was a big day for her as she Met her vet and had her new puppy physical. Frankie aced her physical and her little personality won over the vet and the techs. After the Dr finished, Frankie rolled over onto her back for the Dr to rub her belly! The Dr said in all of her years of treating chis she has never seen one do that! She called her a retriever puppy in a chi body! She was not the least bit scared of either her surroundings or all the people she met. In the afternoon she met my five and six year old grandkids who love her! They have a chi themselves so know how to behave around tiny creatures. It was love at first sight, they all fell for each other! After their visit, Frankie really seemed happy. I think that is when she decided she could be happy here. She still has more family to meet but so far so good! She will be making a visit to the Sr living complex and should win over lots of hearts there! Her potty training is also going well She has used the puppy pads a few times but mostly goes outside The weather is turning cold later today so plan to whip up a tiny wrap for her to wear ouside but expect she will want to use the puppy pad while it Is really cold Thank you Shayna for breeding such a nice puppy for us! MaryAnn |
| We finally got some pictures of Stewie "Stewart Little" (Valentino) and Ollie "Oliver Twist" (Wolfie). We tried to get pictures of them in their Christmas Outfits, but they wouldn't stay still. You probably know about that. We love Stewie and Ollie soooo much (so does our doggie Max, as you can see in the pictures). They are great puppies. They are very social and loving and not afraid of anything. You can tell that you really do care about and socialize your puppies. We will definetly be getting another puppy from you in the future. We have been giving your website information to anyone that express's interest in getting a chihuahua. I just want anyone that is thinking about getting a puppy from Shayna that she does really care about her puppies and takes great care of them (as our vet told us that they are in great health and very laid back social Chi's). Shayna also keeps in contact with us (here in New Jersey) even after our pups got home with us. She also makes it very easy for us to ask her any questions we may have about our chi's and even our Shepard Max......... Thank you so much for all your help and we will keep sending you updated pictures of Stewie and Ollie. Jennifer and Melanie |
| Hi Shayna, She is doing great! She's eating well, playing hard and still very much a cuddler. She's even doing very well with her potty training - you must have done a good job with the pups before sending them to their new homes. I couldn't be happier! Thanks so much! -Kristyn |
| Just thought I'd share a few pictures of Lacey with you! She is doing great and first in with our family so well. I feel like a new mom, I think I freaked out not Rte than she did when she got her shots! Lacey is way smarter than any dog I have ever had, and also let's you know when she's mad at you! She loves chasing the other animals around! She loves grabbing the dogs tails and hanging on for dear life as they run around but they protect her like a little sister. Today was our first big snow here in St. Louis so when we let our other dogs out we decided to let her see it for just a second which turned into a minute because she loved it, broke my heart after we had to bring her back in because she sat at the back door crying wanting back out to play. Thank you for giving us such a fun and enjoyable little puppy, she is very loved and very spoiled! Thanks so much Shayla & Lacey |
| Hi Shayna, Elise is doing great! She and Xia are too cute together. Xia and Timmy took to her immediately. She holds her own when she and Xia are playing. She wants to be held a lot but we sure don't mind that. Xia loves the snow and keeps us laughing!!! Thank you so much for these precious babies! I will give them a big hug for you! Hope ya'll have a Happy New Year! LeAnne |
| Dear Momma, I am writing to tell you that I made the trip to Maine okay. It was a long day in my box, but when I got to the cold place in Maine, there were 2 people there to meet me. One is called Catherine and she is my best friend. We sleep together and spend all our time playing and having fun. I have two new brothers, Flint and Charlie. I love Charlie the best, we wrestle around on the floor and chase each other through the house. My new momma Louise sometimes takes me to Starbucks and I discovered banana bread is yummy! I went to the hospital this week where momma Louise and daddy Rob work. I got to meet all their friends. It was a big place with lots of weird smells. I love to give kisses to everybody I meet and everyone seems to love me back too. It's loads of fun up here but it is cold. We have a lot of white stuff on the ground they call snow. It's cold and I don't like to put my feet in it. I much prefer a snuggly blanket with Catherine, haha. I met my new doctor, Dr.Albert. He's a nice man, and takes great care of Flint and Charlie too. I got my first tag to wear on my new collar. It's so fun to chew on! I am not crazy about a long string they tie to me called a leash, but I am getting used to it. Momma Louise keeps asking me if I want to go running with her, but I told her I'm too little yet. Maybe this summerŠ ;) Dr Albert invited me to go visit when I'm 6 months old for an "operation"Š I'm not too sure what that means, but I bet it won't be too bad! I miss you and pa and the rest of the family. I wish you could come visit up here some day. Don't worry about me, I am doing great and I took a couple of pictures for you to see. Love you and Miss you! Alonso aka Emerson |
| Just a note to tell you how Juan is doing and send you his picture. We renamed him Chico Juan. He will be 3 years old in July. He is spoiled rotten and loves to be held. He runs to the door and sits in front of it when he knows we are going somewhere. He is very smart and knows what a lot of words mean. We have enjoyed him so much, I wish we had another just like him. Jeannine |
| Hi, Shayna. Well we are thinking today is Remi's one year birthday and just wanted to send an update on her. She is such an amazing little dog. She has to be held by someone at all times and she loves to sit on our shoulders in bed and chew her favorite toy. She actually follows us around and whines until we go to bed with her. She loves her sisters, and it took awhile but they all love her too. She gets up and goes to work with her Mom everyday at the clinic. Her temperment is so great, she is so loving and loyal, spunky but mellow when she needs to be. She is still leary about strangers but really likes the people she knows. She does a little trick we call praying. If she wants something she will stand up on her hind legs, put her front paws together and move them up and down together like she is praying. We love her so much and she really did the trick for our hurting family. If Pedro and Catalina ever have puppies again we would love to get another little girl from their litter. I've attached some pics of Remi so you can see how cute she turned out. She is really hard to get a picture of. One of the pictures you can see if you are sitting on the bed she will run and jump up and sit on top of your shoulder. Thanks again for such a sweet little girl. Tim and Tamra |
| Hi Shayna, I thought I would send u a pic and let u know how "jaycee" is doing. She is a complete cuddle princess and we love her. She is also very protective of our son CJ. I originally named her Roxanne but we all liked Bella too so we decided on RoxyBella,lol. Thank you so much for her:) Shellen |
| Hi Shayna, Just wanted to give you a update on Landon. He is doing great! I think we have the paper training on track now. For the past few days Landon has been making only on the paper YAY! He is very smart, sweet, affectionate. He has become very attached to me. My sister wants to hold him on her lap when she visits, and he will come back to my lap. Only wants to stay with me. He plays alot with Shayna, and Buddy. When he is pooped he comes to sit on my lap too sleep. He went to the vet got his 2nd shot last week. He has taken to my Boxer, and likes to nap with him Shayna is close to my boxer. When she isn't sleeping with me she always cuddling with my boxer, or sleeping on top of him. Too cute! I attached pictures for you, and the family to see how well he has adjusted to his new home. Thanks for such great puppies. They keep me laughing, and are real lovebugs...Sharon |
| Hey Shayna! Just thought I’d give you a little update on Chico. I attached some pics and a couple of videos. As you can see, he just hates it here….ha ha…..He dearly loves to run. In the running video he is actually quite tame in it. He’s usually making strides all over the yard. He’s mapped out a track in the house that he runs often too. He is such a ball of energy….and soooo friendly. In the other video if you listen closely you can hear him growling. Such a savage beast! He hasn’t met a stranger yet….loves everyone and everyone that meets him loves him too. He has done so well with his house training that we have given him free reign of the house. If we’re gone from him for more than 4 or 5 hours he may have a small accident but he has this one particular spot he’ll go to as a last resort…and its easy clean up. It was tough training him to go outside for the first 4 weeks but he finally caught on. Last vet check he weighed almost 2 lbs. He’s still tiny. I did notice that he has the same stature as Pedro. He looks a lot like him from what I can tell from Pedro’s pics on your website. We have not scheduled getting him fixed yet but we will as soon as the vet feels he is ready. We love him so much. He is such a wonderful addition to our family. Thanks again for raising a sweet and healthy pup. Tina |
| Hi Shayna. Everything is going wonderfully with Zola. Her name has been changed to Bella. :) She's a great little gal, very feisty and fun to watch. She's very mischievious and it's very entertaining watching her. Potty training is going great. She goes about 90% of the time that we take her outside to go and has only had 3 accidents in the house. She seems to be able to get through the night in her little crate for about a 6 hour stretch without having to go out to go potty. She had her first vet visit today and everything went well. She's a whopping 1.8 lbs. :) I will pass along your hug to her. Thanks again for such a great little gal. She's awesome. Traci |
| Shayna just wanted to let u know our baby has fit into our family as if she was born here. She prances around so happy and not scared of anything. Daddy loves her to and my chorkie plays with her daily. She has only had 3 oops in the floor and has been awesome with pad training. Thank u so much. Billie |
| Hi Shayna, She is doing wonderful! It seems she has made herself at quite at home. Found her a tiny collar with a bell so we wouldnt step on her with her running from one end to the other, racing around the coffee table and down the hall. Dragging her toys all over. She is doing great with the pottie pads to! Putting her in her kennel at night. She whines for a bit then goes to sleep. Wakes up about 2-3 hours. As soon as she wakes up I put her on the pottie pad and she usually goes. I must admit about mid morning I put her in bed with me. She is eating well and I will get the nutri vet ordered. Do u recommend the powder or tabs? Thank you again for such a darling. She is such a joy! Blessings, Jodi |
| Hi Shayna, I wanted to update you on Dara, she is doing fine, eating well, gaining weight, and definitely has a personality of her own, very spoiled already, has me and my husband wrapped around her little toes, lol. She is training well with puppy pads and will sometimes let me know she wants to go outside to do her business. We love her dearly and thank Izzie and Cruz for making us such a beautiful baby. Take care. Kathy, Jim, and Kammie |
| Hi Shayna, Thought I would send you an update on Lexi (Dusti) She is doing great, we have had no problems. She eats like a little pig. She is still fearless! She sleeps the whole night through. She is going to be a perfect little apple head girl. We all love her! Margaret |
| Just wanted to give you an update on Cole. He is doing great on his litter box training very few accidents so far. Last night was his first time to sleep with us all night and he did great. Woke me up around 7:30 to go potty and then he head right back to our bed and was out like a light for a couple of more hours. He gets along well with my daughter's dog, they play all the time. For some reason me thinks it is his job to groom the cat, but sense she just purrs the whole time I think she does not mind much. Took him with us to my parents house after Christmas and thought I was going to lose him to my dad who now wants one. (may be calling you later in the summer for them) I'm sending you the pic of him at Christmas on how I found him that morning, and will send more later. Thank you again for allowing this special little guy to come into our homes and give us all his love! Dorinda |
| Shayna, Tito is awesome. We re-named him Grizzly, because he is like our little bear cub. He is so playful and loving. He has been incredible so far, great potty training outside, and he took to the protection and comfort of his kennel right away. Yesterday, I brought him for his 12 week shots and he was also tested for Parvo and got a stool float. Our vet said he looks awesome and is at a healthy weight. So far he knows how to sit and stay, but "lay down" is sort of a challenge for him. We love him so much, and he is such a pleasure to have around. I am so happy, I feel like we have had him for years rather than just a week! All of my coworkers love him, and he has been great getting to socialize with other dogs and children. Thank you so much for being such an excellent and caring breeder. We love Grizzly so much and we will definitely give him a snuggle and a smooch from you! I hope all is well. Best, Grace |
| Hey, hope you are having a happy New year. Ruger is doing really well. He's a lot of fun to have around. He's loves to ride and go anywhere we go and has fun outside playing. Here's a picture of him from this weekend. Thought you might want to see a recent pic of him. Thanks again. Kate |
| Hi Shayna, Hope all is well. Thank you for your advise. I would never want to take any chance of Bradley changing his personality, because he is such an awesome boy. We definitely want to get him a playmate in the future, not any time soon. I would never want to get a pup in the cold weather. So later this summer I will see what litters you will be expecting. I don't want to get a pup from anyone but you because of how great Bradley is. I think he gets cuter everyday, he is such a spoiled little boy lol. His color is still changing, it is amazing to see how it has changed since his first picture. He is getting so big he is filling out. He is getting more gray and black in his coat and more spots on his belly and paws. His colors are absolutely beautiful and his eyes are stunning. He is so playful and everything he does is just so cute and funny. He is such a happy puppy. We are getting so sick of this cold and snow cannot wait for the summer. We should be moving into the house this summer, can't wait to be living there and have our own yard. Bradley loved it this summer, he loves to run as fast as he can, and his tail curls up in a circle. He has a curly tail which I wasn't sure where he got that from but I looked at pictures of his mother and that seems to be where it came from lol. He looks so much like his mother. And seems to have some of his stocky look from his father. When he sleeps he sleeps under the blankets he loves to cuddle, when he wakes up in the morning and comes out of the blankets, his ears are halfway down, like when he was a puppy! It is so cute! I wonder if it will eventually stop the older he gets or if it will always happen. We couldn't be happier with him and look forward to eventually bring another pup into the family. Thanks again, I'll talk to you soon :) Thanks, Ashley |
| Hi Shayna! I'm happy to report that Colby "Pip" is very happy at his new home. He has taken a quick liking to his brother Jack, a toy poodle. His other brother Nelson, a cocker spaniel on the other hand, is not quite sure about him yet. He is already eating his food and pottying outside on his puppy pad. We love him!! We had a good playtime and now he's pooped. Night night. Thank you, Mary |
He (Garrison) really does love the tennis balls! He's getting plenty of love and definitely being loving back. I figured I would just keep you updated over the first few days/weeks or any time something new happens. He did really well while I was away today. He was super excited to see me when I got home. He's been eating and drinking just fine, he seems to really like picking the chicken shreds out of the food. He doesn't seem to like the meat flavored soft treats (Wellness brand, turkey and duck I believe) but he DOES like the Simply Nourish greek yogurt melts. Not a fan of the Nylabones, though he really likes the Petstages chew toys. I got him a few of the tiny ones with little rope/tassels attached. He's going potty exclusively on the puppy pads, no accidents yet. I have tried taking him outside just to get used to it but the grass here has been pretty wet from all the rain and he is NOT a fan of that. I've also discovered that he likes peanut butter, so I may try putting that in his kong after a week or so. I don't want to throw too much at him at once and upset his tummy. He was super playful tonight and is napping now. He's still being super affectionate, he really likes to climb onto my shoulder and lay there while I'm in bed or on the couch. I had a larger pet bed, but got him a smaller one (with memory foam!) and he likes to snuggle into it at my feet while I work at my desk. Thank you so much for taking care of him and raising him up so well! I've been really lonely since Lucky passed away. I live alone and it's been really hard to adjust. It was so sudden, she was only sick for a week before we found the tumor and hit me pretty hard. The vet said that the cancer was the most aggressive form possible, so the tumor probably hadn't been there but a week or two before she started to show signs. It was pretty much just Lucky and I for the last 4 years. I think Garrison is exactly what I needed. That seems a bit wrong to say, because I would never want to replace her. I don't even know if that is possible, but I needed some love and I'm glad to have found it. |
| Shayna, I was actually planning on sending you an update today! :) Kaden (now known as Zeus), is settling in just great! He definitely does not like to be away from me, and he and one of our huskies, Nikita, love playing together! She is so gentle and patient with him, even when he's biting at her eye. Haha. Zeus had his first training class today at Petsmart. He was the smallest one in the class, and possibly the youngest, but just as fiesty as any other puppy. After a few times (he kept getting distracted), he started getting the idea of "sit", "down" is still a work in progress, but I know, that with practice, he'll get it! Everyone who sees him is amazed by his coloring and markings, I even had someone ask me if he was mixed with a blue heeler. Haha. Potty training is a little splotchy at the moment, but I am sure that, in time and with consistency, he will be potty trained. He hated his crate, so he now has a 16 square foot pen to be in, if he isn't able to be supervised or when its meal time, or bed time. He had his vet appointment on June 8th and got his shots, and got him microchiped. Our vet said that he was in perfect health, weighing in at 2.66lbs. He has his next vet appointment on July 6th for his next round of shots. :) I want to thank you so much for raising such a happy, loving, healthy puppy, and I am so glad that he is a part of our family! I have included some photos and a video, some of them I have also posted on Facebook (I cant help but to brag about him :P), but in case you haven't seen them on Facebook, I have included them for you :) Sincerely, Teri |
Here is a picture of Lachlan, who we now call Louie. He had his 9 week shots yesterday an was a trooper. He weighs 2 pounds! He's been really really good. Such a lap baby! Emily |
Good Evening Shayna, Here is a picture I took today. Penny and Piper have settled in. They are eating/drinking, sharing, wrestling, and playing well together. Piper had her ninth week shot on Saturday. The vet made comment that we should show Piper. She’s a doll. So is Penny. We really enjoy their little spirits. They are just a joy at our house! I hope all is well for you and your family! Sincerely, Sue |
I purchased a puppy from you back in December it was the little white puppy you called upton. I am writing first of all to thank you for our pup he is such a great addition to our family. We have renamed him, and his name now is rascal and it fits him perfectly. He is getting to be a big boy he weighs 3.3 lbs as of his last vet appointment. I am including a some of my favorite pictures of him also. The last photo was taken this evening. I will keep you posted on his growth so far he is doing great. Thank You again, Jennifer |
Hello, thought you might like a few pictures of Violet (formerly Evalina)! Her parents are Santana and Mercedes. She is just about nine months old now and is such a perfect Chihuahua. She is a very pretty silver color with a very faint hint of brown (pictures don't do her justice). She has so much girly attitude and she is rather spunky. One of her favorite pastimes is to run a million circles in the living room (for no apparent reason), cracks us up. She is best friends with our cat, and our other Chihuahua still pretends to be mad at us for bringing her home. We catch him playing with her when he thinks we aren't looking! Thanks again, Jack and Becca |
We LOVE our TEKO! Twila |
Good evening, Shayna! Just wanted to send you a quick update on Wally Oscar...He is absolutely wonderful and fits in with our family perfectly! Wally got a clean bill of health from our vet on Tuesday (no surprise there). He continues to get into mischief and keeps us all laughing with his antics! He is much loved and spoiled by everybody and has amassed almost as many toys as the boys have collectively. My favorite time with Wally is when he snuggles up with me; he is such a little cuddler! Thank you so much for our chichibaby! Sincerely, Kim |
Hi Shayna, Hope you and your family are doing well! Greyson (now Simon) is doing great! Lots of playing and snuggling and napping. I'm truly blown away by what a great puppy he is. He seems to be fully pee pad trained, and we're already working on the 'sit' command (in short sessions). Simon is such a smart little boy. He's also been doing wonderfully in his crate at night. As is typical, there's some crying for a few minutes, but then he settles down for the night. I'd expected a lot more fuss, but so far, so good. :) He had his first trip to the vet yesterday and everyone, the vets, the techs, and all the other puppy parents couldn't stop fawning over him. Needless to say, he received a lot of love and attention. Every person remarked on what a beautiful puppy he is. And of course, Simon didn't care for the shot much, but he did enjoy the treats that followed so all was forgiven. Thank you so much for breeding such amazing, happy and healthy chibabies, and for taking such great care of the puppies. All your hard work really shows. My family is completely smitten with Simon, and we just can't thank you enough. We're giving him lots of loves for you. :) Best, Cheryl |
Hello! I just wanted to take some time and update you on my sweet boy, Tank. We went to the vet, and got blood work done for his neutering. He came back all good, but the vet wants to wait a little longer before she does the surgery because he is so tiny and he only has one testicle! She's hoping that by waiting, the other testicle will grow so she can find it a little bit easier. Unfortunately for me that means his surgery is more expensive but it needs to be done as he is humping his stuffed panda bear like there is no tomorrow! He is such a cute little baby and I cannot imagine having a better puppy. He is off the wall crazy, but we love him so much and love watching him run circles in the apartment and outside for minutes at a time. He's hilarious...he will run like a mad man for about 5 minutes, come and lay down for about 30 seconds, and then get up and do it all over again. He has just started losing teeth, and fortunately we have not found any by stepping on them! every Sunday we go to my boyfriend's family's house, where Tank spends hours playing with their German Shephard, Rommel, and two great danes, Toby and Tonka outside for hours! Tonka is his best buddy and is so very gentle with him and loves to chase him. He loves to cuddle with her when we are away and will taunt her until she chases him. He even has been swimming in their pool and is quite the speedy little man. He doesn't really like swimming because he gets cold, but we're working on that part so that he can spend more time in the water when it's hot out. I am so proud of the progress Tank has made in the months we have had him, he is such a good boy and we are both so in love with him. He has become such a sweet little boy and all the veterinarians go crazy when he comes in. I have tried to attach a picture of my baby so that you can see how "big" he has gotten since he left Arkansas, but for some reason my computer won't let me, so I will tag you on Facebook instead! When he went to the vet last week, he weighed in at a whopping 4.16lbs!!!! All the best, Kate |
Hi Shayna How are you doing??? Solomon (now Dali) is doing fantastic! He is so adorable, I'm so in love, he makes me very happy! Here is a picture. I also wanted to tell you that he has been finally neutered. What are the next steps to get his certificate? Thanks Zasha |
Hi Shayna, Hope you and your family are enjoying the Summer! I can hardly believe how fast it is flying by. Simon is 5 months old today! I thought it was about time I sent you an update. Simon is my little wonder dog! I take him everywhere, from the woods to the lake and every place in between, and he is just loving life. Though our outings take longer than usual because of how often we're stopped so people can Oooh and Ahhh over how handsome Simon is. Even our Vet commented on his unique coloring. It's all good though, because above all, Simon loves people best. He'll take all the love and snuggles he can get, which is a lot - believe me. And of course, I'm always happy to show him off. We just completed puppy kindergarten and will be moving on to the advanced training classes in September. I'm not sure who has learned more, me or Simon, but I can tell you that he has one heck of a sit/stay and mighty fine "leave it". :) I've attached a few pictures of our adventures to share with you. Thank you so much for raising such amazing pups. I can't imagine my life without my little guy. I'm hoping that by next year, we'll be ready for one more. I'd love to add a little girl to our pack. We shall see. Best, Cheryl |
| Hey just wanted to let you know Max has an appointment to be fixed on Monday. And was wondering how I would receive his papers after. He is very smart! And the best dog ever! Thanks again! Stephanie |
Dear Shayna, Just wanted to write to you to let you know that Iggy (we actually changed it to Ziggy) is doing wonderful. He was a little scared to go outside to begin with, but now he acts like he owns the neighborhood. He still loves to give kisses and will snuggle under the blanket with you at night. He has plenty of toys as any spoiled dog should and loves to have you chase him around the couch with one of those toys in his mouth. He got all his shots and he is scheduled to get fixed and micro chipped in Mid-October. I enclosed some pictures so you can see how big he has gotten (not too big). Thank you for bringing this little angel into our lives. Sincerely, Eric and Nicole |
| Willah is doing great. She had her check up on Saturday. Do I need to send you a copy of the shot record and proof of her physical? I’ve ordered the vits and she is also taking the nutria cal 3-4 times a day. She received her shots and will get her next shots in December. We’ve had a hard time finding the dog food you were using but Jeff finally found it at Pet’s Smart. She has been eating IAMS and is tolerating well. She is sleeping all night and only cried one night. The girls are just crazy about her and Gracie is taking good care of her. She is already potty trained to the puppy pad. So smart…. She has her on bed and several blankets. We’ve added her to the family Christmas list and everyone is to bring her a present. Willah has asked for clothes and a few toys. This is going to be a great Christmas. As you can see we are having a great time and Willah is by far one of the best decision we’ve made. We are looking forward to adding another puppy soon after the first of the year. Keep me posted on new litters. We like the short leg breeds. Send pictures later, Brenda |
Shayna, I wanted to share this pictures with you. We are loving our sweet COCO so much!!!! She is so spoiled and such an awesome dog!! Hope y'all had a great holiday. Thanks again! Jessica |
| Hi Shayna.....just wanted to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year.....look at how beautiful Wynnie is! Her and Georgie are an item as u can see. She doesn't do anything without him....and she loves my cats too. It's a very happy house. Isn't she spectacular? <3 Cheryl |
Hey Shayna , We are so in love with little Titan ! He is already so spoiled :) he got to experience what it was like at our house watching football Sunday and he would run and hop around when he saw us getting excited . Haha! I have had so many people ask me where I got him and have even had people offer me money for him which will NEVER happen ! He is already such a big part of our family ! Thank you for checking in on us . I will send pics soon ! Kari ______________________________________ Hi Shayna, I hope all is well with you ! I wanted to send you a quick update on Titan. I have to start by saying that we absolutely love him ! He has the best temperament and never meets a stranger. He and my son , Brode are stuck like glue :) He also still hops like a bunny when he runs ! Haha! He is so much fun and loves to snuggle and give kisses :) we love him so!! Thank you ! Kari |
| Hi!! Wanted to give you an update on Benny. He's perfect! He and Roxy love each other & spend all day & night playing & snuggling. We did start with crate training but he does so well with the pads we didn't need to worry. So he and Roxy share a heated bed. The only issue is that he will pee & poop on anything left on the floor that resembles a blanket. But we worked with that & just don't leave things on the floor. The vet says he's great & healthy. He eats his food- no problem! My boyfriend has been doing training with him and he does best with fruits & veggies. He's not a huge fan of the training treats. But he comes running when he hears cutting boards and knives coming out. We absolutely love him to pieces!! Thank you again for sending him to us! Tabitha |
Hi Shayna, Hope all is well with you and yours! Just wanted to let you know that we took Ziggy to vet yesterday morning for his second to last set of boosters. He goes back in 3 weeks which at this time will include his rabies vaccination and he will be done until he is neutered on June 27th. Just wanted to let you know that he is doing great, aced his exam again, was so good with the shots, didn't even make a sound! Ziggy now weighs 2 pounds 5 ounces! Eats very little. He weighed 1.98 pounds when he first came home. Gets along great with everyone, even my old grumpy chi is now playing with him, and he plays with one of my older kittens which is great. Such a loving and sweet personality he has! Ziggy is going to be one gorgeous, loving little man! Christine :-) |
| Just a quick update. Kenobi (Fuzzy) is doing well. We had our second vet visit last night. He's weighing in at 4.88 pounds and healthy. He got his next distemper and a worming. We also had him micro chipped at this visit. He goes back in 4 weeks. We decided to go with a wellness plan our veterinarian offers and also opted to purchase a Trupanion plan (accident/illness) for those expenses you just don't see coming. If you could mail me a couple of business cards that would be great. He's a real charmer and the lady at Petsmart out here was seriously interested in where I got him. I told her I'd bring her your information. I practically had to pry my boy away from her lol. We are working on potty training. I believe he has learned to fake pee on his wee wee patch. He has connected the treat with the pose. I know there is no way he pee'd almost 10 times in 20 minutes yesterday and then looked at me for a treat. He's a cunning little bugger. I'm on to him. Here's an update pic... I'll keep in touch. ~Erika |
Arabella is now 3 months old and had her follow up shot and check up. She is 2.8 lbs and doing wonderfully. Vet was madly in love with her and her gorgeous Merle coloring. I requested to wait a few weeks and take her back for rabies shot rather than all at once because she's so tiny. Vet agreed with me on my decision. She is an imp! I call her my little firecracker! Nothing except my Persian cats scares her. I think she thinks it's a lion chasing. She screams and runs under the bed. My cat is trying to play with her nut I guess she's intimidating! She has forced her way into being accepted by the rest of the Chi tribe and most of them will now play with her. My two old timers want nothing to do with her but they are both almost blind so guess they don't know what's jumping on them. The rest have put her through her "hazing" and she's now one of the tribe! I absolutely adore her! Thank you for bringing this precious little nugget into existence! Maureen PS going to attach a picture if I can! |
| Hello shayna, Just wanted to give you an update on Miss Trinity. She is doing amazing she has fitted into our family so well. Her personality is the best she is so loving to everyone and she thinks she is the princess of the family and thinks everyone should be giving her kisses all the time. Lol You do a amazing job with these babies. Keep up the amazing work. Will be getting another family member from you soon. Take care and hope all is well. Nicolle and Michael |
Good morning! Attached is the spay certificate for Xena( and an updated picture of her). Her surgery went really well yesterday and she is doing spectacular! Also wanted to give you can update on how our girl is coming along; Little Xena is a spunky girl. She has learned to bark now which is super cute on the rare occasions that she does it. She is also started losing baby teeth though despite my efforts I haven't been able to find any. She loves running figure 8's around the yard or running with her older brother, whom she plays and wrestles with everyday. She is such a love-bug and joy to have in our home, we love her deeply! Hope this emails finds you well. Chesley |
| Hi Shayna, I just wanted to thank you again for Jasmine ( we renamed her Athena), she is the absolute best! We are in love with her. She is very smart and spunky. She’s responding to her name, learned the sit command, and has only had 2 accidents. We’re training her to go outside and it’s going very well. The day after I picked her up I took her to the vet and the vet confirmed she was in perfect health. Everyone at the vet fell in love with her too! I plan to get her spayed in April. From her great health, wonderful temperament and beautiful coat it’s easy to see she came from an excellent Breeder. You are great at what you do and we are so thankful for our precious little fur baby. She will be spoiled and loved forever! I attached a few pics for you and will send you more updates. Thanks! Alexis |
Hi Shayna! I just had to email you and let you know how in love with her I am!! She is such a sweet, loving, smart little pup. I’m so impressed with her! She’s been doing great with the pee pads and she’s been sleeping in bed with me, without accidents! She’s constantly by my side, I’m so happy with her. Thank you so much! Kaela |
| Hi Shayna! I hope you're doing well. We decided to rename Prissy to Sophie. She's doing really well and growing like crazy! She's such a lap dog. She likes to nap in my lap and she LOVES belly rubs. She has such a good temperament. Her sweet little face and puppy kisses make me so happy. <3 Thank you for breeding such a wonderful little baby. :) Taisha |
Hi Shayna, I meant to write back right away but I kept leaving my iPad at work so here I am, better late than never haha. Rotten Britches is doing fantastic! He is so smart and we are very thrilled with everything about him. He has taken to paper training quite well and goes out with the older dogs a couple times per day as well! Even though Kenneth hasn’t been home a lot since he came to us, he remembered exactly who he was the minute he walked in the door on Thursday evening. I also wanted you to know I was looking at your site a few nights ago (it became a habit for me, lol) and was watching the featured puppy video, and Rotten was up in my lap and you could just tell that he recognized your voice! He was watching the screen and looking for you! He is so playful and loves the other dogs here. My female chi, Buttons, is crazy about him and Shih Tzu Diego mostly ignores him around me but that is Diego’s usual thing. Rotten is afraid of nothing and loves and kisses us each day, such a sweetheart! He wasn’t having any part of his play pen and I was afraid he was going to hurt his little teeth on the mesh when we tried to put him in it in the beginning so he roams free with the others and is doing great. He sleeps in bed with me and the other dogs each night and sleeps well, and pops up when my alarm goes off each morning, ready to potty and play his heart out! He is just perfect! I am going to try to attach a video I made of him playing with Buttons a week ago on Sunday, just the morning after he got here. I think you saw the Facebook pictures. Best wishes to you there and I hope to hear from you anytime you want to check on him! Thank you for such a fantastic baby! Maria |
| Hi Shayna, Just wanted to send you an update on Nissa (renamed to Rosie) she is doing wonderful , she had her first vet visit and they said she is very healthy. They were all in love with her! Rosie is already a huge part of our family and we have a feeling she will be bossing our standard poodle around in the near future lol. Pictures do not do her justice she is so beautiful and sweet too. My wife has a doggie kangaroo pouch for her and Rosie enjoys being carried around keeping warm in this chilly New England weather! I have attached a few photos of Rosie in her new life here, we think she loves all the attention and love. Thank you for breeding such an amazing and well tempered chichi , we will love her forever. Darren |

Did you know tha Chico is perfect in every way?...Cliff says that he is the most perfect dog he has ever had...he is really starting to feel his oats and regularly gives Daisy a good run for her money..he will get down low to the floor and go along it like a cat and when he gets near enough to daisy he jumps at her....it is so funny ..he started barking at us when we sat down to eat...ummm..but i added more puppy food to a new bowl and i think he thought that was something new so he was happy. I have found it is rather difficult to make a bed with a cat that goes under the covers and a puppy yarding on the blankets..he is quite strong! The pictures are him and zorro playing tug a war.. ...hugs for now...Patty |
Arlo's family says he can jump up and down from the couch already! |
| Avi's family says he is super lovable and he adores their children! |

| Hello! Just thought I’d give you an update on “Fiesta,” now renamed “Rico.” He’s doing great, he adjusted really fast. He’s progressively gotten more and more wild but that’s okay because it means he’s getting comfortable. He keeps trying to force our older chihuahua Max, who’s 13, to play with him and Max is not a fan. Our other dog is kind of scared of Rico just because he’s so rambunctious. But, I absolutely love him. He went to the vet Tuesday and was all good, just got a routine dewormer. He’s a total snuggle bug and has definitely bonded with me. We love him so much and I’m glad he’ s so happy here. Thanks for my new baby! Regards, Emma |
| Good morning!! My apologies for taking so long to get back with you. Fern is doing great and has adapted very rapidly to her new home. The first couple of days our other puppy had some issues with her, but now they are absolutely best friends, playing together and just hanging out with each other. She has been such a loving little addition to our family! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and treasure your honesty and obvious love for these little dogs. I will stay in touch with you and keep sending you updates. If you need any recommendation or testimonial regarding the quality of your operation, please don’t hesitate to let me know! Thank you so much!! Dan & Ali |
| Hello Shayna, He is doing fabulous!!! I named him Hercules and he comes to it already...it does help I squeak it out in a high pitch, but he comes a running. haha He is spoiled rotten with my front room turned into his domain, and also at night he has my bathroom as his domain as well. (Food, Toys, Bed, Potty) He has been doing wonderfully with potty training. He will run to the pad when he has to go, he's really a good boy. He is still sometimes a bit iffy where he poops, but that will come along just fine, I'm sure of it. My other chihuahua Oliver was a little cranky at first, like you stated, but he is much much better now and starting to play with the baby. The other night they were racing around the island I have in my kitchen chasing one another. It was hysterical. I will try to send a little video of him sassing me. lolol I was curious how big his mother and father are (pounds). I have been knitting sweaters and clothing for him and took one of my really soft socks and cut it for him to wear as a sweater. He isn't all gung-ho on clothing, but a boy his petite size will need get used to it. :) Also, how big do you think he will get? I went on a website called DogFoodAdvisor.com and did research on the current foods out there. It is a very informative site and surprised me with regard to a lot of foods on the market. Foods that I thought were top line, but after reading the information and star rating, I would never ever feed them to my babies ever. I purchased Victor Nutra Pro for a puppy/all stages dry food and Nulo Grain-free Turkey, Cod & Sweet Potato Recipe wet puppy food. They were both rated 5*. I did a slow change with his Royal Canin to Nulo, and he LOVES the new stuff. Of course he's spoiled and likes to eat if off of mommy's finger instead of his dish, but he will go over and chow down if he is in the middle of his play mode while tearing around the front room with all of his toys. Also, we went on a little walk the other day with his new (cat harness & leash) He is very attentive to learning new things from his brother. It is really cute to watch him watching Oliver and doing the things he does. Like.... EATING DRY FOOD!!! YAY!!! I also went to the pet store to pick up some cat toys (which he loves) and while checking out found Milk Bone Mini's. Oh my word, they are sooooooooooooooo tiny. He gets one when he gets up in the morning and when he goes to bed at night. He also loves chewing on an Elk Antler I bought and some tiny Whimzee Bones. He sleeps in the corner of my bathroom that has a little nook with a cat bed and one of his baby blankets all bunched up for him to snuggle in. I just ordered a Sheri Calming Shag Vegan Fur Donut Cuddler bed for him instead. He is a very spoiled baby, like they all should be!!! I will send pictures in the following email because they are all on my phone and I am currently typing from my laptop. In addition, I told a family member to contact you about purchasing one of your Chichi babies. Her name is Betty and I believe she is really interested in Unique. She fell in love with pictures of Hercules and I forwarded your information. So hopefully she will buy a baby from you as well. Okay, I am going to hop on my phone to send you some pictures of our little prince. He is a wonderful baby. I am so happy I found you after researching the internet for top Chihuahua breeders. :) |
| Hi Shayna! Everything is wonderful! I took her to the vet and she handled it like a pro. We are all SO in love with her!! I’ve had several friends interested in getting a pup from you too because they just think that she’s the best (and she is!) We have named her Maya. <3 Thanks and have a great day! Angie |
| Hey shayna, He is doing great, the vet gave him a good report and he and mochi are the best of friends. Mochi is the little adventurer and Vasquez isn’t scared of anything except car rides. Thanks so much for our babies they have already brought us lots and lots of joy! Marea |
| Hi Shayna, Woody (now named Rocky) has totally blossomed and shows so much personality. He is running around, barking at Elvis (aka Vegas), pretending to be tough. He is a rambunctious little character full of energy. Still training with his potty training and his teething, (I do see he like the toes). Also, everyone fawns over him, anywhere I take him, he gets sooooo much attention. I will send you a few pix in a separate email. He's given my apartment so much love and life again. Thank you. Best thing I got in a while. Regards, Carmella |
| Good morning Shayna! I just wanted to touch base with you regarding Tiko's progress. He's such an amazing pup! He's had all his boosters and he's been released to go in the backyard like a big boy. He is crated during the day and has taken nicely to that as well. He has a dog walker come in the mid morning every week day to get him out and take him & our other two dogs for a walk. He's great on his leash and harness. I also come home on my lunch break to get him out of the crate and my husband is usually home early afternoon. We've got a great schedule going for him during the week so he's not crated more than 4 hours at a time at the most. He follows me everywhere and we really are the best of friends. He's playful and quite the little boss. I just love my little Tiko Suave! Here's a pic of him in his coat the other day on a chilly morning, he's so cute! Hope all is well with you. Best regards, Corrine |
| Happy Sunday! Halo Rose is doing extremely well! She is so playful, eating well and using her puppy pad with no accidents anywhere else! I want to thank you For being the amazing breeder that you are and and I have passed your information along to a couple of my friends that are looking for a new baby but we’re scared of being scammed. I can tell that she has had time spent with her and that she was raised properly the first eight weeks of her life. She is so smart and is just a wonderful addition to our family. Thanks again, until the next update. I will send you all the information about her vet appointment and also keep you informed for her spaying around six months. Danielle |
| Hi Shayna ! Wanted to wait until today to text you , Willoh had appt. at vet’s for shots and wanted to see how much she weighed so I could let you know ! 3.2 lbs..... She has settled in very well !!! She is so much company for me ! I have a wire pen set up on my patio and we go out quiet often . She lives to run and jump and is very playful!!! I am having trouble with her nipping and biting and I know being a puppy she will do that but it is getting worse !!!! She pulls all my shoes out of a basket I have them in and carries them to the living room , they are bigger than her !!! She gives me lots of puppy kisses and it like my Tucker was , she likes sitting on my neck lol She is a joy and has helped me tremendously with the loss of Tucker . All I can say is she is very healthy and let go outside if I’m not careful she runs like lightning and is in the yard , by hat is why I got her a playpen for out side .... thank you again for this precious puppy . I will send you a recent picture after this tex. .... I hope all is well with your son and daughter in law and if I may ask has she had her baby ? Take care and be safe , Ruth |
| Hi Shayna! We are doing great! She has settled in wonderfully well!! She is eating good and using potty pads all the time, with only a few ‘slips’ next to it. I’ve gotten a snuggle puppy and playpen for her, for when I go back to work tomorrow. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to leave her even for 6-7 hours! My husband is working from home, so she won’t be alone. I’m a little worried about socializing her with this pandemic going on-but she’s wonderful when members of family come by when they can. So eager to play all the time, and very loving. We haven’t spent much time outside, only in back yard. She doesn’t like the feel of the grass much. I’ m worried about taking walks-is it ok to stay on sidewalks? I haven’t been able to get her in for vet visit yet, as we are still on quarantine here. She has lots of toys, plenty of food, and I just received 2nd shipment of nuvet yesterday. I had to change the frequency now that I’m better at gauging how much she eats and uses. Thank you so much for bringing us together! I feel like a new mom again and she has made us so happy. The only real worry is her becoming too spoiled!! That and trying to teach her that I am not one of her chew toys! Some advice on that count would be gratefully accepted! Thank you again, Amy |
| Hello He is doing amazing we have renamed him Remington or Remi. He is very very smart, house training very quickly. He’s quite the character and very loving he gets so sad if we aren’t in direct contact, We love him very much! Thank you Jon |

| Hello Shayna, Her Name is Dovey..she is doing great..a real ball of fire though...we just love her so much..she gets more beautiful by the day..many compliments..and I have referred you many times..thanks so much Shayna |
| Hi Shayna! Rome – now known as Hugo – is settling in very well. He is well behaved, and has taken to potty training quickly. He’s eating well, and steadily gaining weight. He is a pleasure to have in the house while we’re all cooped up in here. I’ve been working from home for a few years now, but my wife typically works from an office in the city. Her employer now has her working from home. As a matter of fact, the day we picked up Hugo from the airport was her last day working from the office, so both my wife, my son, and I have been able to spend all day, every day with him (we do practice leaving him alone for short periods of time). We couldn’t have timed Hugo’s arrival any better. Anyway, Hugo is a real sweetheart, and seems to be enjoying himself. We sure are enjoying him. Thanks for checking in! |
| Hello He is doing amazing we have renamed him Remington or Remi. He is very very smart, house training very quickly. He’s quite the character and very loving he gets so sad if we aren’t in direct contact, We love him very much! Thank you Jon |
| Hi Shayna, I wanted to say hi and let you know how much we love Jaxx. It took him 2 weeks to finally sleep thru the night. He was a stubborn one. Haha He has brought such joy to our life. We are taking him everywhere we can, although it’s a little bit of a challenge with the Caronavirus. He goes for his 12 week vet appt this Wednesday. I will let you know how that goes. I have attached a pictures of him. He has grown quite a bit. Thanks again for getting this sweet little guy to us. |
| Shayna, I intended to send more details, my husband brought food home and I got distracted. Clementine/Bella is doing so wonderful. She struts and hops all over the house, wears herself out and sleeps so peacefully. She is eating and drinking well, going to the bathroom fine. She is so funny, she can climb upon the couch by getting into the groves of the couch. I have a quilted throw, she hooks her nails into the threads , pulls he rself up and arches her head and keeps on until she is on the couch. She climbs upon me and sits on my shoulder. We play a lot. She loves tug of war. She loves to go into the front living room with my other babies and look out side and bark, I have a big bow window that’s floor to ceiling, perfect for her to make sure all is well out side. She received an A+ on her vet check up on April 17th and she will be going back to the doctor May 5th. You have given me such a blessed gift, she is my sunshine and you are my special friend, talk to you later Shayna. Rose |
| Hello, Our sweet boy is doing amazing! He is doing so good and loves the kids! His ears have gone up and he is such a beautiful boy! You were right pictures don’t do his coloring justice! He has been to the vet twice and they rave about what a sweet temperament he has and how laid back he is while they have him. They say he is doing great! Cari |
| Hi Shayna, I hope you are doing well. I'd like to say thank you for amazing girl Blessing and send you a couple of her photos. She is doing great and right now she is a little bit bigger then I first time saw her. She plays a lot of time and she eats well although she has a very small body and she is sleeping sweetly. She always stay with us and even we sleep together. She loves to go outside for barbecue and she doesn’t run away. We think she loves us too. She has very sharp teeth and when she plays, she bites very painfully. We don't know how to wean her. But it's not a big deal. We understand that she is still baby. She is beautiful and we with my wife very happy and love her infinitely. Thank you so much for Blessing. With best regards, Stan (Note from Shayna: We do and did provide support for the biting. It is usually a very easy fix) |
| Hi Shayna! Hope all is well. I just wanted to send you a little update on Elton. He’s a silly little love. he’s learning to come to his new name Monte. Tallulah wasn’t sure of him at first but has warmed up and loves to play with him. It’s so cute to watch them interact. Thanks again for a couple of great dogs, they are both so smart and loving. Here’s some cute pics of him and her |
| I just wanted to send you a quick update!! Ellison is now Hamilton! He is adjusting great and absolutely LOVES his Great Dane sister Boo Boo. He’s taking a bit longer to warm up to the cat. Just wanted to thank you again for making it possible for me to be able to love this little man! You do an amazing job with them! |
| Good evening! Just an update. We are settling in nicely. The boys are pretty douchey toward the baby but they are slowly coming around. We have a gate set up to get to know each other through and supervised daily sessions with the little one on a leash so I can keep her from getting too rambunctious with the 'not so happy' boys. Tonight was our best session yet so there's hope on the horizon. I have to ask. Did you start her on pad training before she came here? She took to it like a fish to water and we are all stunned. Literally from day 1. The boys were nightmares- stubborn as could be and aimed like drunken sailors. This girl took one wee-wee on the pad and since then will whine to go (we have a gate up) or if she's on the correct side of the gate- just jaunt over from anywhere she happens to be to go potty on target. We have had a couple of accidents but I can honestly say they were human error. She is a pint-sized dominant delight. One day her Chichi brothers might even like her too. |
| Hi Shayna! Eris, now Bruno, is doing just great! He has been the perfect addition to our family. He is doing well with house- training and has only had a couple of accidents. He is very smart and has caught on to a few commands very easily. Everyone that meets him comments on how nice his disposition is. His vet appointment also went very well. We love him so much! He’s such a cute and fun little guy that we all adore! Thanks for raising such a perfect little addition to our family! Thanks, Jody |
| I love this little guy! thanks for trusting me with him! He has such a big personality. He is like mighty mouse bc he likes to climb on things and uses all his strength to do it. He has mastered coming up the deck steps. Potty training is going great! He likes to drag the largest toys around or a rug I have named him Hercules. He is absolutely perfect! His zoomies are soo cute!! I will definitely get my next chihuahua from you! Here are a couple pics... |
| Hi Shayna, I just wanted to send you an email of THANKS. The pup is amazing. We got her some antibiotics for her eye goop and the vet said how well bred she was and how healthy and gorgeous she is. She has an incredible personality and is absolutely growing more gorgeous. Her tan points are getting more pronounced and they are SO CUTE and she truly is middle of the road. Not dominant not submissive, playful but snuggly. She has bonded so quickly to us. She is already so smart And has been doing great with potty and crate training. You really have a gift, you know your dogs so well. We would love to work with you again in the future and I will recommend you to anyone who will listen! If there is anywhere you would like me to send reviews I would be happy to do it. So thank you thank you thank you again and again. All the best, Emily and Patrick |
| Hi Shayna! I wanted to send an email to let you know how grateful we are for our two amazing boys! We love them so much. Ivy tolerates them. Niko getting a baby brother has helped so he bugs her less with his puppy energy. It was love at first sight for the two boys and they have bonded so much. The two are inseparable and play the whole time they are awake. My son is already trying to talk me into a female for him. Thank you again!! Cari (Daxx went to live with Nikko, pictured above) |
| Shayna I cannot tell you how amazing this puppy is. He is the sweetest, funniest, must loving little thing EVER! He LOVES to play and EVERYONE who meets him is instantly in love. He’s pretty fearless now and I just can’t get enough of him! How are the others in the litter doing ? I hope you all are well Kristi & Pico |
| He is perfect! Potty training has been the only challenge but only a few accidents. He got along with our other dog and cat right away and he goes everywhere with me. My 5 year old started school last week and he's gone every day to drop her off. We love him so much and are spoiling him rotten |
| Hello Shayna, Leonidas (Leo, Leelee) is an absolute firecracker and he adores Hercules. Hercules has been being a very patient older brother and Oliver is being tremendously patient as well. When they all go outside for pee-pee its also "get the baby" play time. Oliver and Hercules will chase each other all over the yard and now Leo joins in occasionally. By the way, he is amazing with potty training. Ever since the first day of setting him down in the yard and saying go pee-pee he ran a couple steps, crouched and took a pee. No mistakes in the house!!! And when I am driving if he whines, I pull over and put him in the grass and say peepee...and he goes!!! Also, I wanted to ask, when is Leo due for his next series of shots? Kristi~ |
