Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Lucky Star Chihuahuas located in Riverside, CA. My dogs live in my home and are beloved pets before anything else. I make every decision with the dog's best interest at heart. It is out of love for the breed that I continue to seek improvement through health testing and conformation. I use Puppy Culture and have seen great success! When you purchase a dog from me, you instantly become part of the family.

Q. & A. with Tera

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My parents bred and showed Whippets. I have been around breeding and showing since a young age. It seems natural to me.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am an advocate for the breed. I do my homework before putting two dogs together. I want to make sure each pairing is better than the last. I believe my passion for my dogs makes my program special. I breed to produce excellent temperaments, type, and health.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
