...the passionate world of the smallest dog in the world. The Chihuahua. Five years
ago, I bought my first teacup Chihuahua during a rocky period in our lives. You
can only imagine the impact that the Chihuahua has held on us ever since! It was literally love at first sight for this breed, as well as its many particular traits
like its size, colour variety, its intelligence, its obedience, and of course, the
fact that they can be held in your arms or simply rest on your knees. These traits,
among others, make the Chihuahua the ideal companion!
As you already know, we are located in the region of Quebec, Quebec, Canada. We
currently live in an apartment with some of our breeding dogs and, of course, all
of the puppies. For the other Chihuahua's that we breed, some board with other people
(not families) who are capable of offering all of the love, care, protection and
comfort that the dogs need. This way, we can dedicate ourselves entirely to the
dogs that are permanently with us, be it when they are breeding, or during labour
and/or nursing.
TopChihuahua.com is not a kennel. At our home, the Chihuahua's
are never in cages and when they are it is because they decided to go in. Therefore,
the door is left open. My dogs do not
live in cages. The females and their pups
are in enclosures of 4'x 4' and we let the females out while their pups are asleep,
if they show the desire. The only exception to this is during the night when I am sleeping, the dogs are all in cages/enclosures. It must be mentioned that the dogs are not unhappy
because they are accustomed to this night-time routine
from the day they are born. This lifestyle, although at times can be a little frustrating
(I would love to have a corner of the couch sometimes!), fosters gentle, affectionate,
confident and dogs that know the value of being pet. I feel that these are important
characteristics for our dogs to pass down to their puppies during the first 8
weeks of their lives.
I would like, in the following months, to make this Website a site of reference
where you can find everything (or almost!) about this particular breed
of dogs.
I do not pretend to know everything about the Chihuahua; conversely, I learn something
new everyday. I am, however, happy to share my experiences and I am very curious
to learn of yours. This is why I have created the
forum. I invite you to register
and to ask all of your questions, to post your comments and to share with us the
"tricks" that you have developed over the course of your "couple" life with your
Chihuahua(s).
In short, it does not matter what it is about, if it concerns Chihuahua's
then you are more
than welcome to leave a trace!
For those of you who are looking for the Chihuahua of your dreams, please understand
that I am very aware of the difficulties involved in deciding to purchase a Chihuahua
in this virtual zoo. I also realize that it is just as difficult to hand over money
to an unknown person with hardly any reputation. It is for this reason that I have
developed, stemming from my own experiences, an agreable and secure way of "shopping"
for a puppy that is under my care. I invite you to take a look at our Adoption Process.
We can
find a short direct flight? I can ship!
