Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
30 yrs ago we were given a chihuahua and fell in love with the breed. It did not have a yappy negative personality as many people think they have. We wanted to share the joy we found with others. I studied the breed standard. I got a few and started breeding. I go to seminars to continue to learn. Plus I enter my dogs into conformation shows.What makes your program special?
We hand raise our dogs, helping them to grow and reach their highest potential. Early potty training and socialization is the start. I have many customers that have between 2 and 4 dogs in their home today.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable spotted white, fawn brindled black, gold and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Willow
Sweet and gentle. Loves to snuggle on the couch when we are watching TV. Play in the yard with the other chihuahuas and always ready to go for a walk. We feel her kind spirit will make her a great mom.
Pearl, mom
Chihuahua
About Pearl
You can call me Pearl, I was named for the cute black spots on my fur. I just love playing with my toys and chew treats, and I really enjoy showing them off to everyone. This is such a fun place to live with all the toys and treats for all of us! I especially enjoy a good antler to chew on and then snuggling up after a fun game of chase outside.
Gemma, mom
Chihuahua
About Gemma
What'z up! Just about everyone calls me Gemma, and I’d love for you to call me Gemma too! I was born here and truly believe this is the best place to be. I enjoy taking Mary on walks and exploring the lovely trail around our home. Ending the day by relaxing with Mary on the couch in the evening is just perfect. I want to be a friend to everyone I meet, although I sometimes hesitate to say that in case I encounter someone who's not too nice. I think you might be able to relate to that! I really hope to earn a confirmation title like the others—how cool would that be?

Chihuahua
About Tate
Although I was born in Texas, I can attest that there are countless reasons why I proudly call this wonderful place my home. There's a delightful yard for me to dash around in, and inside, we have cozy furniture where we enjoy spending time together with our humans. My name has a special meaning; it reflects my rich Texas and Mexican heritage, and my family had a great time choosing it!
J.D., dad
Chihuahua
About J.D.
Good Afternoon! My name is CH-PC Carsten's Diamond Forged Inda Flame. I go by J.D. I got my name from my mom's side and the blaze on my forehead. See it. See the flame like from a nicely scented candle? I think I was born with the flame to show off my dynamic personality, I'm sure you'd agree if we were to meet.
Sandy, mom
Chihuahua
About Sandy
Hi there! My name is CH-PC Carsten's Sunny Blue Skies, but you can just call me Sandy. They say I carry the blue gene. This past fall, I earned my championship in the APRi Registry; then in December 2024, I earned my prominent championship title. I thought we were just going somewhere to have fun and meet new dogs. Afterwards, I learned that it was something more, still fun and exciting. I love going for walks, but I would rather hang out with the humans.
