Chihuahua Boy

We are looking for a stud to hire for approximately winter 2029/2030.

Our top breeding priorities are health and temperament, so we will be looking closely to make sure we pick the right boy! As this will be a winter breeding, we do need him to be reasonably close to Grande Prairie, so that we can commute to you for their dates regardless of weather and road conditions.

If you have a wee little long- or short-coat chihuahua boy with an excellent temperament and a family history of good health, perhaps you would be interested in him fathering a litter for us? We will want to meet you and your boy in person ahead of time. We will require a brucellosis test on your boy, and if requested will provide the same. We will also require a minimum of 3 every-other-day breedings in order to maximize the chances of success.

Pick-of-the-litter will be for us to keep, and we will pay you a stud fee at the time of breeding, valued at a third the expected value of one puppy from the litter, depending on your outcome guarantee and on your boy's previous litters if any. With an expected litter size at 2-4 puppies, we cannot offer to give you a puppy the way breeders of larger breeds often do, but will agree to reserve second pick for you to buy if you'd like.

Our chocolate male Rocky is standing at stud and available for hire starting 2024 July 26. He has had 4 litters born to date, of which 3 were with our own females. Progeny indicate he carries recessive genes for longhair (Ll), blue eumelanin (Dd), clear red (Ee) and both types of cream (Ii & Uu).

Approved females may be chihuahua or another breed or mix. They must be a minimum of 16 months age and fully vaccinated. They must have good temperaments and a negative brucellosis test within 5 months prior to breeding date. If pre-booked with a deposit, we will obtain a current test for Rocky; otherwise he will be tested on a schedule reccommended by our veterinarian according to the frequency he is hired out.

Stud fee is $600-900 depending on your female's breed. All expenses related to breeding, pregnancy, whelping, rearing and rehoming puppies are the sole responsibility of the owner of the dam. We will guarantee pregnancy and offer a refund if your vet determines your female failed to conceive. It is your responsibility to make your female available on her fertile date(s), and to support her ability to conceive and to carry a healthy litter to term. When you take your female in for her pre-breeding brucellosis test, it is a good idea to discuss her suitability for breeding with your veterinarian.

Rocky is loyal to family and those he knows, but not outgoing with strangers. He can visit for dates at your home if your female would be more comfortable in a quiet and familiar environment and has done so successfully.
