We are a hobby breeder of long and smooth coat Chihuahuas located in Erie, Pennsylvania. All of our puppies are AKC registered, and raised in a loving home. We breed to standard with a strong emphasis on soundness, temperament, and health.
At
Darling Little Angels all of our dogs live in the lap of luxury. There is never any unnecessary kenneling! Our home is just as much their home as our own. We believe in hands on interaction including lots of love, snuggles, cuddles and hugs. Our
Darling Little Angels are always happy, healthy, and well socialized.
You may find that our prices are a bit higher than other local breeder's due to the fact that we are not a Backyard Breeder or a Puppy Mill. Our pups are hand-raised, well socialized, healthy, and developmentally advanced. We breed for the love of Chihuahuas not for profit. You will find that with numerous vet checks, premium food and supplies you get what you pay for.
What many uneducated breeders do not know is that genetics only account of about 35% of development. The remaining 65% (management, nutrition, and training) is up to the breeder. I work from home which allows me to be with my puppies all day long. All our dogs are fed Canidae, which is a premium holistic all-natural food. Our puppies are well socialized long before they leave our home. Not only are they raised with our White German Shepherd and Chocolate Lab, but they are introduced to children at a young age as well.
We are also advocates of the Bio Sensor program. In an effort to improve the performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio Sensor" was developed. Later, it became known to the public as the "Super Dog" Program. Based on years of research, the military learned that early neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects. Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to the Bio Sensor stimulation exercises: Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate). Stronger heart beats. Stronger adrenal glands. And more tolerance to stress and greater resistance to disease. As the pups become more mobile they are introduced to a mini-agility course which stimulates their motor and problem solving skills as well.
I am also the founder and organizer of the Erie Chihuahua And Toy Dog Meetup group
(
http://www.chihuahua.meetup.com/405/ ). Our group consists of local chihuahuas, toy breed dogs and their owners. We meet once a month and participate in pet friendly group outings such as PetSmart's Howl-O-Ween Parties, Petco's Cinco de Mayo Chihuahua Meet and Greet Festivities, and The Erie Seawolves' Take Your Pet to the Ball Game events.
I am also a Senior Staff member of a worldwide online Chihuahua community
(
http://www.chihuahua-world.com ). I invite you to surf on over and see what we are all about!
Available pups are placed in approved homes at 12 weeks of age with up to date shots, a new puppy kit filled with goodies, and sale contract that includes a 7 day health and one year genetic/congenital health guarantee. All our chihuahuas are placed with a spay/neuter contract and limited AKC registration.
Because we care about the health and safety of our
Darling Little Angels, all puppies who require shipping will only be flown via Continental out of CLE. Keep in mind if you require shipping for your new puppy, he/she will not be shipped till he weighs at least 2.5 lbs. Also if the departure city or destination city is experiencing extreme heat or cold your puppy's flight will be canceled and rescheduled for his safety.
