I'm the breeder behind Sundown's located in Terloc, CA. I don't breed regularly and focus on quality over quality. I am purposeful in everything I do regarding my dogs, including careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.
About Julie
My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies.
What makes Julie’s program special
I am a professional handler of Chihuahuas. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Chihuahua line.

“The deposit is in good faith. Refunds are only available if a buyer purchases a puppy for show and I feel the puppy is not showable when it leaves.”
Julie may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.

I do everything I can to socialize my puppies. I want them to be easily trainable and have a smooth transition to their new home. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Crate Training, Grooming Desensitization, Socialized with Other Animals, Socialized with Cats, Socialized with Children, and Potty Training.
I prioritize the health and well-being of each one of my puppies, and I follow all appropriate puppy health protocols.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates.
