About Us

Welcome to Southwest Virginia Chihuahua, Virginia's Premier Chihuahua Breeder.

At Southwest Virginia Chihuahua, we take great pride in being one of the premier Chihuahua breeders in the Southeast. Located in the beautiful region of Southwest Virginia, we are passionate about breeding and raising happy, healthy, and well-socialized Chihuahua puppies. Our mission is to match loving families with exceptional Chihuahua companions who bring joy for years to come.

Our Story

We are founded out of a deep love and admiration for the Chihuahua breed. We are a family-run business that prioritizes the health and happiness of our dogs above all else. Each puppy we raise is treated as part of our family until they find their forever home. Our years of experience in breeding have taught us the importance of doing things the right way—ethically and responsibly.

Our focus is on maintaining high standards of breeding, which includes thorough genetic and health screenings, as well as ensuring proper care and socialization from birth. We’re dedicated to producing Chihuahuas that not only meet breed standards but also have the kind of friendly, affectionate temperament that makes them wonderful companions.

What We Offer

We offer a variety of Chihuahua puppies, each raised with love and attention in a nurturing environment. We specialize in ACA, CKC, and AKC-registered Chihuahuas, ensuring that each puppy comes from a strong and reputable lineage. We understand the significance of good breeding practices, which is why we go the extra mile to screen for genetic conditions and maintain the health and temperament of each dog.

All of our puppies come with:

  • Registration Papers (ACA, CKC, or AKC) and a 3-generation pedigree certificate.

  • A Health Guarantee that covers congenital and genetic issues.

  • Vaccination Records to show that your puppy is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations.

  • A Care Package including food, toys, and a blanket with the mother’s scent to ease the transition into their new home.

  • We start the potty training process, requiring minmimal effort on the adopter.

  • we focus on a variety of training and enrichment activities designed to support their physical, mental, and emotional development.

  • Our puppies are gently introduced to different sights, sounds, and textures, helping them adjust to a wide range of environments. We expose them to daily household activities, ensuring they become accustomed to human interaction and common noises, which reduces anxiety and helps them develop into confident pets.

  • Positive Reinforcement:

We use positive reinforcement techniques, such as praise and treats, to encourage desired behaviors. This method helps our puppies learn quickly in a fun and stress-free way, setting them up for success in their future homes.

  • Exposure to New Experiences:

Our puppies are gradually introduced to new environments and outdoor play spaces, where they can explore different terrains and meet new people and animals. This type of exposure helps them develop social skills and adaptability, ensuring they are comfortable in various situations.

Ethical and Responsible Breeding

Our breeding practices are guided by a deep commitment to the well-being of both the puppies we raise and the parent dogs in our breeding program. We believe in humane and ethical treatment for all animals, and we ensure that each breeding dog is well-cared for, healthy, and never overbred.

We perform extensive genetic and health testing to ensure that our breeding dogs are free from hereditary conditions. Our puppies are raised in a loving home environment where they are socialized from birth, preparing them for life with their new families.

In addition, we are fully transparent about our breeding practices, and we are always open to questions. Our goal is to provide you with all the information you need to feel confident in bringing home a new puppy.
