I'm the breeder behind Dauntless Chihuahuas located in Glen Burnie, MD. Chihuahuas are far more than the public makes them out to be. Smart, loyal, eager and tenacious little dogs. We strive to connect to the roots of the breed, making them suitable for all kinds of jobs like service dog work, weight pull, agility, barn hunt or just couch surfing!
About Casey
I have been in the dog industry for 10+ years now. I own my own dog training company training pet dogs and service dogs and have worked in a vets office as a technician and receptionist. Dogs have always been a big passion of mine, both large and small.
What makes Casey’s program special
We strongly believe that little dogs can do just as much as big dogs. We strive for our pups to be active problem solvers and not just "purse dogs" or "typical chihuahuas" Our goal is a sturdy outgoing dog that likes people and being active just as much as they enjoy hanging out on the couch with their favourite people.

Why Casey started breeding
My program started with Kairi, as a trainer I always knew I wanted a small dog, as you often train the dogs you own and I wanted to make sure I could cater to both large and small dog owners. I found Kairi by chance and the love I already had for the breed grew tenfold and it is because of her that I started breeding.

About Winnie
Spunky and high energy, Winnie is a social and playful girl with lots of opinions!
Chihuahua
About Rin
Rin is our second girl and the most reserved of our pack. She takes time to warm up to strangers but enjoys training and going on adventures. She's very sassy and opinionated and will definitely tell you how she feels about things. She loves to sleep in and the only thing better than sleeping in is snacks!

About Rue
A sweet girl who LOVES her snacks. She is silly and playful though can be a little wary of strangers. She will sit back and watch before she decides to interact but once she does she is a blast. Easy to train and smart as can be!

About Prince
Prince we got when he was already 2 years old. He's very different from our pack but over time his personality grew on us. He is incredibly laid back and great with the litters. He cannot jump to save his life and his "apple-head" and short muzzle means he can get winded easily, but even with that he loves to run and play he's super silly and has a lot of personality in a teeny fluffy body. He gets along with pretty much any dog and has changed many minds about chihuahuas with his quiet and easy-going persona.

About Saber
Saber is daughter to Kairi from her very first litter. We kept her as a breeding and service dog prospect and she proved to be a smart, easily trainable girl. She excelled at public access, and did great with her tasks, but unfortunately did not enjoy the work as much as we would have hoped so we decided to let her pass on her great genes and stay with us as a pet. Saber is incredibly quick and athletic and a great mother. She loves most people, albeit a little too enthusiastically sometimes.

About Oakley
Son of Rin and Prince, Oakley is one of our co-owned males. He is smart and eager and takes the best aspects of both of his parents. He was a service dog prospect, but life had other plans and I was unable to find the time to focus on his training. He is a fun guy and while he can be standoffish with new people, once he warms up you can't make him go away! He is very talkative and opinionated like his mother and lives with a pit-bull named Presley who he loves.
