Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind V' Encore located in Las Vegas, NV. On a limited basis, our dogs are bred for structure, health and temperament. Breeding to the AKC standard is of utmost importance in preserving the breed structurally for true type, health and temperament. We want our youngsters to be fun, healthy and long lived companions for their new family.
Susie’s experience
About Susie
I am a proud breeder with a great love for Chihuahuas. My dogs are an integral part of my life, and I take pride in both their accomplishments in the ring and their wonderful temperaments and abilities at home. My dogs truly are my passion.
What makes Susie’s program special
I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I 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.
