Small family kennel, raising wonderful petite Chihuahuas!

Omaha area - forget Taco Tuesday, it's Chi Chuesday!
I tried to message everyone who had asked me to let them know when we were Omaha bound again, but I'm sure in the dozens of threads from July I've missed a couple! Please message us if you'd like to meet any pups today and are between (roughly) Omaha and (roughly) Yankton SD so we can plan on swinging by!
Pictured: pups ala (travel) mode :)
Puppy placement day has arrived! Are you looking for one to Be Yours? We are out in Omaha today! Stone went to his forever home! ❤️ Message us if you cannot wait for Yours!! ❤️
Have I mentioned lately how difficult it is to take pictures of pups that know how to run without a second set of hands?
These pictures are the best we got from today's attempt - and they're all screen caps from video! Such effort for such not success, but at least we had fun!
These pups are 10 weeks old and are finally ready to go (minus the exception of the two tiniest), we're working on better and individual posts but haven't quite gotten there yet!
Happy Father's day!
And happy pups in the sunshine day!
Here's the available boys from our summer pups! All are up to date on vaccinations and pest prevention :) with regard to placement, most are ready to go; Jasper and Phoenix are not ready to go due to small size, and Griffin and Jasper both require neuter contracts (consideration to be discussed with interested parties). Charlie is one of our spring pups who had been placed, but they ended up having a premature baby to bring home instead so he stayed with us :-)
We also have two older boys that came back with us from situations that didn't work out, out of state, in May, both are sweet boys that like a bit of space and independence (ranch living spoiled them a bit!) They are offered at a lower price than the younger pups, and while both are unaltered, neuter contracts can be discussed.
If you're interested in any of these handsome little guys, please let us know! And yes, the sun was a bit bright, they don't normally squint so much haha!
We have very limited females, including a lovely brindle and a VERY petite merle/brindle stunner, but are not ready to post them due to wanting to wait a bit due to comfort levels with their readiness, including small size (10oz or less at 8 weeks). If you're looking for a female, we can be open to discussing them in chats.
We will try to get some more pictures of pups individually and post more details about them in the coming days, but please don't hesitate to ask about any of the boys here if you're interested! You don't need to wait for a personal post for them :-)
Out in the beautiful sunshine going into this Father's Day weekend, wanted to share this awesome picture of our Little Brother :-)
Last year, we lost both of our studs (RIP Murphy and Finn) and after trying a couple alternatives over winter, Brother (from our Murphy's last litter) has stepped up and is firmly here to stay! He is a "merble," which means that he displays both Merle and brindle coloration, a big part of why we've got so many flashy pups this spring and summer :-)!
We have also added a lovely young man named Asher from a wonderful breeder in Iowa who will be our second, non-merle stud, but it'll be a while as he's young yet :-)
Both brother and Asher come from AKC lines (notable by their wonderful round heads!) but we've decided to step away from AKC registration for litters entirely at this time. We have decided we prefer to focus more on the companion dog, versus the pre-pandemic plans for going into the show circuit. We just fit and like the accessibility of the pet market - and the people! - a bit more.
Happy Father's day, may you have as big a smile on the front porch in the sun as this daddy does!
All fun and games while we do a deep clean, full tummies then back in our personal pen for some zzzz!
Can you tell which of these pups did not respect the wet floor sign and now needs a bath to clean his dirty feet?! Haha!
(The mostly white pups are available, they are all Merle spots on white, 2m 1f; still a bit young for individual posts but feel free to pm if you're interested!)
The holiday season is always a difficult time to place pups because I don't believe that animals should be gifts, as these guys are a long term commitment and investment.
However, when everyone is on board for getting a pet, and just the how and when is the gift being given, it can bring great joy :)
Throwback to last year, when we were contacted by a lovely young lady who was not able to make it work - but her honey reached out to us and we had an exciting Christmas morning :) with a couple glow up pics since then ❤️
Audio isn't edited so apologies for the barking, we kinda crashed their Christmas morning and between new people in his house and his mom's ("very happy") crying, her older chihuahua was a bit concerned 😀
Deep cleaning tonight, pups get to amok while mopping... they have too much fun :)
Hey everyone!
We're going to be in Sioux Falls meeting people with puppies on Wednesday, and in Omaha meeting people with puppies on Friday.
I haven't yet messaged people in these areas that were interested in meeting up, so if you wanted to, I didn't forget you I just haven't gotten there yet :-) but feel free to message me if either of these days work for you and you're in these locations to meet with some puppies!
Pictured: some of the family's adult dogs showing they're ready for travel, even though obviously we're not all going to ride together in this travel bag, haha
We are going to be in Sioux Falls meeting people to show puppies on Friday 12/16, if you have any interest in any of the pups posted and are in the SF area and would like to coordinate a meet up, please let me know! With the snow, it's going to be easier for us to aim for a long day with multiple stops :)
First off, apologies to anyone who has messaged in the last... well, forever. I guess a few updates ago earlier in the year, when they added Instagram functionality to the Facebook business pages, they changed settings to auto reply to everyone and not give me notifications unless people messaged more than once. I was super busy and not postng anything so didn't think too much of it, but apparently I've missed a few messages every month, and I'm sorry for that!
But now I know - and hopefully the update I've just applied will have fixed that lovely bit of misfunction. :)
We do have puppies available, and we'll be posting details in the coming days. Took a few pictures today. The older litter is available now and the younger is available nearer the end of the month. Like seems to be the trend recently, most are males. All are long haired (though we do have a chubby little Singleton brindle male that's short haired, he won't be ready till after New Year's).
Here are some pictures, and I will put up individual posts for them later. :)
Recent events this morning have prompted me to make a post.
In case it isn't obvious, we are not a commercial operation. Our dogs are our family. We have jobs and lives and, as I've stated more than once, work long hours outside of normal business hours.
When we make a post it is because we have dedicated time that we can interact with people, and following the events of 2020 that has become less frequent. So we don't make very many posts these days. Most of our placements in the last couple of years have been referrals, because it's just safer to deal with people that come with a good word from someone that has one of our pups.
Unfortunately some people are impatient do**he canoes that don't understand that regular human beings don't have 24-hour customer service representatives. If you want an Amazon experience with 2-day prime delivery, we are not the people to talk to. We don't have mass produced products on the lot ready to go at a moment's notice.
Anyone who feels like that is the service that they would like, please continue your search elsewhere. If you sent us a message, and we haven't answered, it's because we haven't been in a position where we can get in-depth with you about what you are looking for and how what we have available or coming up would work for you. Sometimes that's because there isn't anything available.
I know, I know, it's time-consuming to have that whole Human Experience, but unfortunately our dogs think they are people, so we want to make sure that anyone who is going to invest in them will do the same.
And if you can't treat me like I'm a person, I don't want to think about how you would treat a dog.
Thank you for your patience everyone else, and I do apologize for not having my life simplified enough that I can get back to everyone like I used to. It's a work in progress!
