Montclaire Chihuahua Puppies British Columbia Canada Montclaire are breeders of chihuahua puppies in British Columbia, Canada Hi, my name is Cathy Wankel and I have been involved with purebred dogs and breeding since 1983. We started off with Rottweiler and proudly produced dogs with outstanding temperaments and a willingness to please. We were involved in Pet Visitation, Conformation, Obedience,

Carting, Tracking and Search & Rescue. When our children were old enough to want to show dogs as well, we added Shiba Inus to our home. These little dogs taught us a lot. Basically, they need to be raised the same way we raised our Rotties. Socialization was key to having a happy and well behaved Shiba. Contrary to popular belief Shibas can be trained and will walk off leash. We loved how clean the Shibas were. They also became better mousers than our cats. We had to take a break from showing and breeding for a while but found that we couldn’t live without a dog in our lives. Due to some health challenges I was no long able to lift anything over 10 pounds so this eliminated our Rotties and Shibas. After some extensive research we fell in love with Chihuahuas and where very happy the day that Parker came to live with us. Parker stole the hearts of many and was accepted even at events where dogs where not allowed. Parker took on the role of Den Mom. He consistently made sure that everyone had their faces washed and that they follow his rules. Years down the road we decided to get back into breeding, unfortunately there are not many breeders that are willing to place their females in breeding homes. After some extensive searching we ended up purchasing our female, Emma, from overseas. We purchase our next male and female from Europe. Our puppies are raised in our home in the middle of all of the hustle and bustle. We are following the same socialization protocols as we did with the Rotties and Shibas. We still evaluate our puppies to determine their individual personalities and place them in compatible homes. As with our previous breeding programs we make sure that our breeding dogs have their health and DNA testing done. Even though we do breed for show prospects and the betterment of the breed, it is equally important to us that our puppies have long and healthy lives. All of our puppies are microchipped and registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. We offer a lifetime health guarantee for life threatening health defects. One of the major concerns for new puppy owners is Hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can happen so quickly! Hypoglycemia is a condition in which the blood sugar level drops to an extremely low level, causing a "sugar attack." When levels of glucose in the blood drop rapidly, the dog's body and brain are deprived of essential nutrients. The results of hypoglycemia can be weakness, seizures, coma, and in severe cases, death. Because Chihuahuas are so small, they can be prone to hypoglycemia, especially when they are very young. Hypoglycemia is usually caused by stress, change of environment, illness, lack of food, or by using up stored energy without it being replenished. It is important to make sure that young puppies and very tiny Chihuahuas eat regularly throughout the day. Another preventative for hypoglycemia is regular feeding of a high-calorie supplement called Nutri-Cal, available at local pet stores, on-line or through your vet. Symptoms to look for include vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness, pale to white gums, staggering gait, and refusal to eat. If the dog does not receive treatment for this, the "sugar attack" can progress into the more serious stages of this condition. Behavior such as inability to hold down food and diarrhea can become progressively worse to the point of seizures, complete unresponsiveness, and even death. Preventing Hypoglycemia can be done by giving your puppy Nutri-Cal three to four times daily. I find that giving the Nutri-Cal 10 minutes before offering a meal entices the puppies to eat. You may also add a small amount of Karo Syrup (light corn syrup) to his/her drinking water on a daily basis. Treating Hypoglycemia can be a little more difficult. The first thing recommended is rubbing some Karo Syrup on the gums and tongue of your puppy. Once your puppy begins to show interest in his/her food again, I would increase his/her meals to six small meals throughout the day. Hypoglycemia tends to fade off by the time your puppy reaches six months of age. This information is not intended to replace the advice of your Veterinarian. If you suspect your puppy has become Hypoglycemic, I always recommend to seek medical attention immediately. Please feel free to follow us on facebook - https://www.facebook.com/puppieschihuahua/

Bravo is appreciating his new bed that he won for Best of Breed at the Group V Specialty. Unfortunately he didn’t make it to the group as he became ill. We have pulled our dogs from the show as we suspect it is kennel cough.
