We're a small, in-home Chihuahua breeder located in Virginia, USA. Once your application is approved, we'll arrange a time for you to meet your puppy and bring them home — or we can discuss safe transport options.
Our Chihuahua puppies generally range from $2,800 to $4,500 depending on color, coat type, size and markings. A non-refundable deposit reserves your puppy and the balance is due at go-home. See our Chi Puppies page for current pricing.
First, submit a Puppy Application — an approved application is required to make sure our babies go to wonderful homes. Once you're approved, a non-refundable deposit (we begin accepting these once babies are two weeks old) reserves your puppy until they're ready for their forever home.
We accept Venmo, PayPal, Cash App and Apple Pay for both deposits and final payments. Any fees associated with these services are the responsibility of the buyer.
Yes — our puppies are AKC and/or CKC registered, bred to standard in beautiful long and smooth coats and a rainbow of colors.
We do not ship our puppies in cargo. We want to meet our families and make sure each baby is going to a loving home. We're happy to discuss safe in-cabin flight nanny or ground transport options, or you're welcome to come to us.
Chihuahuas are one of the longest-living breeds — with good care, nutrition and regular veterinary visits, they commonly live 14 to 18 years. They truly are a lifetime companion.
Your puppy goes home with their first set of vaccinations, age-appropriate deworming beginning at 2 weeks, a full vet health screening between 6 and 8 weeks, a two-year health guarantee, and a puppy pack to help with the transition.
Puppies are ready for their forever homes at approximately nine (9) weeks of age, once they are weaned, eating well and have passed their vet health check.
A molera is a soft spot on the top of a Chihuahua's skull, similar to a human baby's. It is normal and accepted in the breed. Most close as the puppy matures; we'll show you how to gently care for your puppy's head while it does.
Tiny puppies have tiny tummies and need to eat often — generally free-fed or offered food 3–4 times a day to keep their blood sugar stable. We'll send you home with feeding guidance and the food your puppy is used to.
Keep up with vaccinations and vet checkups, feed a quality diet, maintain dental care, keep them at a healthy weight, and give lots of love. We're always just a call or text away for the life of your puppy.
