I have been breeding short coat chihuahua’s since 1989 in Caracas, Venezuela. One is lastingly hooked by the inevitable passion and addiction in which one falls from the acquisition of these little animals.

She has been a source of entertainment helping us fit in to our new home by choice, in beautiful Dordogne, France. Here, with Sofia , now 12, we have decided to go ahead and start breeding Luna. We have then had the happy arrivals of Autana’s Dream Fabulous Flirt and Autana’s Dream Fergus Fast Track. AUTANA (our chosen affix) is a very famous “tepuy” in the Venezuelan Amazon where my husband and I had a romantic adventure before Sofia was born. This is the beginning of part two of my Chihuahua life, joined by my husband Paul and my children Sofia and Daniel. How we became the property of a CHIHUAHUA...
