Please e-mail me with any inquires you might have.

I've always been a dog lover, especially the little ones. I've been breeding toy dogs for over 18 years. I live in beautiful Watauga, Texas.

I raise happy, healthy, quality babies for you to love and become members of your family. All of my adult dogs meet the standard for the breed & are in good health. My facilities are clean and my dogs are well cared for and loved, I never have a problem with showing anyone around, there are no closed doors here.

I do not sell to pet stores or wholesale my puppies. I also do not sell to breeders that I have not checked out and approve of.

I work very hard to raise these little babies that I'm responsible for bringing into this world, I owe them the best possible homes. I want you to be happy with your new friend, but above all, I want the pup to be happy and safe in their new home.

I don't think a breeders part should stop when you leave with your puppy, I'll be there if you have any questions.

I will be happy to provide you with references.

Again, thank you for visiting and I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Bianca

AKC X-Tiny Chihuahua Puppies

Your Chihuahua's Cold Tootsies Janaury 25, 2007


No matter how much fur Fido is wearing on his body, his feet have little protection from winter's chill. Here's how to spare his feet from the deep freeze.

Keep the hair on your pooch's feet trimmed short to discourage ice from clinging to them and making painful little frozen nuggets between his toes. And before going out, coat his paws with a small bit of something greasy that will stick to the pads, like petroleum jelly or a spray of cooking oil. When you return, wipe his feet, especially if your streets or sidewalks are salted. Or make winter walks even easier -- for both of you -- with insulated, slip-proof doggie booties.

Is your pet in shape?

Chances are, your pet is at least a little overweight. As American's have gained weight over the years, so have our pets. The habits people get into that cause weight gain and obesity have been passed on to our pets. We pamper ourselves, we pamper our pets. We sit on the couch watching TV, our pets lounge on our laps. Not that there's anything wrong with pampering and leisure, but too much of a good thing can lead to too much of a bad thing – like fat and lethargy.

Most people who are overweight have pets that are overweight. And although we are very conscious of a few extra pounds on our own bodies, we tend not tobe aware of it on our pets. But even an extra pound or two on a dog or cat can put them at risk for certain health conditions and may even contribute to a shortened life span. So call your pet over and check her body condition. Here's how to tell if your pet is fit or fat:

Ideal Dog Body Condition

Have your dog stand up and look over him, viewing his back. You should be able to see a nicely defined waist behind the ribs. Look at him from the side. There should be a definite tuck of his tummy. If he's a short-haired dog, you should see an outline of his ribs. (If his ribs are highly visible, he's too thin.) However, if he's sausage shaped, no waistline, he's overweight. See Ideal Dog Body Condition diagram.

Ideal Cat Body Condition

Have your cat stand up and look over her, viewing her back. She should be sleek, with a slight indication of a waist behind her ribs. You should be able to feel her ribs, which should have a slight fat covering. From the side, her tummy should appear smaller than her chest. If your cat's shape is bowed out at all when viewed from above, or there's no differentiation between her chest and tummy when viewed from the side, she's overweight. See Ideal Cat Body Condition diagram.

So what do you do if your pet is overweight? It's very important to get your pet back into ideal body condition, to help him feel better and have more energy – and less chance of developing a weight-related health condition. Start with a few common-sense basics:

1. Make sure your pet's food is appropriate for your pet's life stage. If in doubt, ask your veterinarian.
2. Don't just fill your pet's bowl with food. Read the recommended serving amount on the package and measure the food to be sure you're feeding a proper amount. Remember: feed to maintain your pet's ideal body condition.
3. Avoid feeding table scraps, which are usually high in fat and calories.
4. If you give your pet dog or cat treats throughout the day, reduce the amount you feed at mealtime, to account for the additional calories of the treats.
5. Tie treats to activities – use as rewards and inspiration for play and exercise.
6. Make sure your pet gets enough exercise. Always check with your pet's veterinarian before starting a new and demandingactivity with your dog or cat. Here are some tips for dogs and cats.

Resist the Begging – Your Dog's Not Starving!

You may feed your dog more than he needs because he leads you to believe he's ravenously hungry so often. He wolfs down his food and is always eager for more. In fact, he'll never turn down food, and may go hunting for more in the garbage after he's had his fill. He isn't a bottomless pit, he's just acting on instinct. In the wild, dogs eat anything they can find, and as much of it as they can eat because they know it could be days before their next meal. So, you are not causing your dog to suffer hunger pangs when you don't let him have snacks between meals. Just realize, that if he were in the wild, he'd easily live off one meal a day and would be running around hunting all day to obtain it. Your dog's body is actually built for more exercise and less food than his house pet status provides!

Chihuahua Doggie Doses

Doggie Doses

Do you dread giving pills to your pooch? Try this approach.

First, place your palm on top of her snout, with your fingers on one side of her mouth and thumb on the other. Gently lift the lips and insert your index finger behind the long upper teeth on one side and your thumb behind the long upper teeth on the other side. You may need to squeeze lightly to accomplish this. When you do, pull her nose up and with your other hand drop the pill in the back of the mouth, behind the hump of the tongue. Close her mouth and immediately bring her nose back down, holding her mouth shut. She should swallow right away. If she doesn't, try blowing on her nose or squirting water into the side of her mouth with a turkey baster.

Teaching your Chihuahua puppy to take food gently!

Teaching your puppy to take food gently

Many pups don't know the strength of their own jaws. They enthusiastically grab anything offered without concerning themselves if a person's hand is in the way. This shouldn't be considered "aggressive behavior", but rather a "sin of enthusiasm".

There are many ways to teach your pup to be gentler, here are a few:

Hide food

Pups can be unintentionally rewarded for grabbing if they get a treat when they grab. So, to control this bad habit, you need to make sure your puppy does not earn a treat for grabbing.

Hold the treat in your fist and hold your hand out to your puppy. If he tries to grab it, wait. When he starts to lick or nuzzle you, then he can have his reward. Even a bold puppy can learn quickly that being gentle gets him what he wants.

Ouch!

If your pup is sensitive to your voice, a sudden yelping "Ouch!" along with withdrawing the treat can do the trick. Praise calmly and warmly when he is gentle, yelp and calmly take the treat away when he is not.

Some less sensitive pups are excited by this method, leaping up with tails wagging. If your pup responds this way, try another method. Puppy training is not "one size fits all." Always use the method that gets you the results you want without creating other problems.

"Easy"

One reason your puppy may grab at the food in your hand is that you may tend to suddenly pull your hand away when he moves toward the treat. This sudden move, often upward, may cause him to want to chase your hand as it moves away. While that reaction is understandable, it does not bring out the best in him.

Next time your pup moves to grab, move the food toward him. This should be a steady, smooth movement, not fast or harsh. If done properly, your pup will retreat as he follows the food. Since this is not what your puppy expects you to do, it can cause him to slow down and think. Done calmly, this is not an unpleasant process. It simply sets up a situation where your pup needs to move his head backward to get the food. That conditions him to think, "pull back" instead of "lunge toward".

Regardless of what method works best for you, work hard to praise your pup warmly and give him the treat when he is gentle. Puppies do what works and if being gentle earns him your affection and a bit of food, he'll be gentler in the future.


'Tis the season for sweets, but avoid giving these treats to your dog -- especially chocolate, which can be deadly.

Chocolate smells tasty and edible to most dogs, but poses a major poisoning risk because it contains theobromine, a substance that is toxic to dogs. It can cause hyperactivity, increased heart rate, vomiting, diarrhea, and even death. If you think your dog has eaten chocolate, call your vet or an animal poison control center immediately.

A pen for potty training your chihuahua

Tired of scooping up dog piles all over your yard? A pen for potty training may be the right solution for your Chihuahua.
Build a basic pen in your backyard and set up a schedule of mealtimes, playtimes, and naps for your pet. Allow time for potty breaks after each activity. Escort her out to the pen and give her a potty command, such as "Go now." Pick a short phrase, and use it every time you want her to go. Nothing happening within a few minutes? Walk away with her and try again 10 or 15 minutes later, or earlier if she starts sniffing around for a place to go. Be patient, and if she does have an accident, quickly take her out to the pen and praise her so she links going potty with that location.
