Why Lesley started breeding
I care about the well-being of animals. Giving back to the breed by producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes. I breed limited for my own show program and only a couple of litters a year. I’m devoted to ensuring they are happy and healthy Chihuahuas for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly breeding this incredible little dog breed. I breed long and smooth coated chihuahuas.
