I'm the breeder behind Rossmoyne Chihuahuas located in Mechanicsburg, PA. We are proud of our chihuahuas; their personalities, their appearance, and the care that they receive. All of our adults are pampered pets who live in our home as part of our family.
About Joyce
I recently retired after teaching high school for 32 years. I have been breeding chihuahuas for over 20 years. I have 6 grandchildren ages 4-17 years. My Chihuahuas love kids and visitors.
What makes Joyce’s program special
All of my chihuahuas are pets first. We have a multi-generational household of chihuahuas. They currently range in age from 1-15. You generally meet not only the sire and dam, but grand dams and sires, and even great grand dams as well as other relatives. Many of our Chihuahuas are 5th and 6th generation breedings for us.

Joyce has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $2,000 - $3,200 and include a deposit of $500.
“Deposits are accepted only on specific puppies usually not before puppies are 3 weeks of age. We prefer that deposits be made in person. Deposits may be transferable or refundable depending on the circumstances.”
Joyce 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 Joyce 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 Joyce directly.
Puppies are well socialized in our home with our grandkids and many visitors. Puppies are started on litter training and also on outdoor potty if weather permits. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized with children, Socialized in new places, Scent introduction, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, and Various sounds.
All puppies are wormed, immunized, and vet checked and come with a health guarantee.
We send our puppies home with Puppy starter kit, Registration, Basic obedience & manners, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Vet records, Toys, Food & treats, and Initial potty training.
Joyce offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We do not ship our puppies. We prefer that puppies must be picked up in our home. We are willing to meet at the Harrisburg airport and in some cases might be able to transport the puppy ourselves within driving distance.”

When my daughter was 16 she begged for a chihuahua. I got one for her totally fell in love with the breed. When we closed our horse stable, I began breeding chihuahuas.
