Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Laurie Thompson's Chihuahuas located in Iowa. Our dogs excel both in and out of the show ring. They are excellent representations of the breed and have wonderful temperaments. We keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
