us
I grew up around many animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses,
monkeys and even a baby lion!) and at my adult age I decided to breed dogs and
my choice has been for chihuahuas: small little dogs with great big heart and
extremely smart.
I am a small hobby-show breeder, I breed for my pleasure and improvement for
trying to produce show prospects and very typed chihuahuas not too big in size (max
5 lbs).
I breed very limitedly something like 3-4 litters per year, first because I have
a small number of dogs and second because I don't want to abuse of my little
darlings, that's not my aim, I respect them and their rhythmes also because they
are little dogs with not many strenght at the moment they are giving birth and
also after that when they are feeding puppies.
My dogs are first of all my passion and big part of my family and that is how I
will keep it.
I spend time everyday playing and loving each one of my dogs and puppies so as
to socialize them. They are raised with my children, my 2 cats and 3 mix dogs
somebody "throw" like garbage when they were puppies...sadly we also have this
in Italy..I save them from death and then haven't been able to find good people
to look after them so finally kept them with me!
My dogs all get the love and attention they need and deserve, they are pampered
and spoiled, they just are happy chihuahuas!!
They are also NEVER in cages but instead have big rooms with carpets, pillows
and blanket where they can have a rest after having played in the yard all
together.
Here's not a puppy mill but all a family!
I breed with head and heart, I don't breed for
money but for love!
We are all involved in this, I mean all of my family, we all cry when we loose a
puppy whether in birth or when they go to their new home. I always take news
about my puppies who have gone.
My retired dogs stay with us till the end of their life, we are unable to give
them after so many years spent together, also because it's very very hard to
find good people who really loves animals here in Italy, though I'm italian,
sometimes I feel ashamed to be.. french people are different with animals.. much
better, I've been living in France for almost 15 years so I could notice the
difference of behaviour with animals.
No one dog deserves to live in cages and chihuahuas less than all the others
because they are very sensitive dogs and need to be close to their owners for
being happy, they just live for you, they give you all of themselves.
Our older dogs don't deserve to move because they
are getting old and become "unuseful" for breeding. They are still our pets and
we love them too much for being able to let them go away, we have space enough
for everybody!
Sometimes my mum tells me I'm not a real breeder but a chihuahuas "retirement
house", but I don't care, I breed as I like, no one has to judge me, and if,
with the years passing by, I'll have many many old dogs, doesn't matter, they
will have their own privacy to be finishing their last years quiet between them
and aside from the younger ones that may disturb them.
Yes, I do love my dogs, and my puppies will leave from here only after having
deeply checked homes where they will have to go, if I don't feel good the person
who would like one of my puppies, then I'll refuse. Sometimes people offers me
much money for one of my puppies because they absolutely want it, but sometimes
I refuse because I don't feel them good enough. I have to know the future owners
of my puppies and judge if they have the skills to own a chihuahua which is
quiet different then having other dogs....'CAUSE CHIHUAHUA IS...OVER THE DOG!!
