I'm the breeder behind Natelsong Chihuahuas located in Crescent City, CA. We offer top-quality family pets with a focus on health and temperament! Our dogs are bred to the AKC standard for health and temperament and raised in our home with our family. We perform OFA-certified tests on our dogs once they are over the age of one-year-old for their patellas, hearts, and eyes. Once they pass, they become part of our program. This helps ensure that we are breeding only the healthiest Chihuahua’s.
About Michelle
I love this tiny breed! I have dedicated myself to raising healthy, well-rounded Chihuahuas that are not only correct to our standard but great family pets! I am a mom and a grandma so I have lots of helpers to socialize my puppies!
What makes Michelle’s program special
I have carefully selected my dogs from some of the top lines in the breed. Each has strengths that the other does not. Most of my dogs are AKC Champions or Grand Champions before they are bred. My goal is to produce sound, healthy Chihuahuas that are bred to our breed's standard.

Michelle may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Michelle offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Michelle directly.
Our puppies are socialized and have begun the potty training process before they leave our home. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Human Interactions, Various People, Behavioral Shaping, Confidence Building, Name Recognition, Noise Desensitized, Strangers, Touch Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Children, Puppy Manners, "No" Biting or Chewing, Crate Training, Litter Box Trained, and Potty Training.
All puppies get their first deworming and vaccinations before leaving for their new homes!
We send our puppies home with Vaccinations, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Food Starter Bag, Blanket with Littermates Scent, and AKC Registration.
