Chihuahua puppies are among the world’s smallest canines, typically weighing between 2-6 pounds when fully grown, though they start life weighing just a few ounces. These tiny companions are born after a relatively short gestation period of about 58-68 days, and litters usually consist of 1-3 puppies, though larger litters can occur. Newborn Chihuahua puppies are particularly fragile, with their eyes and ears closed for the first two weeks of life, making them completely dependent on their mother during this critical period.

Origins and History
The Chihuahua is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where the breed was first discovered by Americans in the mid-1800s. These tiny dogs are believed to be descendants of the Techichi, a companion dog favored by the ancient Toltec civilization. Archaeological evidence suggests that small dogs resembling Chihuahuas have existed in Mexico for over 1,000 years. The breed gained popularity in the United States during the early 20th century and was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1904.
Physical Characteristics
Chihuahuas are the world’s smallest dog breed, typically weighing between 2 to 6 pounds and standing 5 to 8 inches tall at the shoulder. They have a distinctive apple-shaped head with large, expressive eyes and erect, triangular ears. The breed comes in two coat varieties: smooth coat (short-haired) and long coat. Both varieties can display virtually any color combination, including solid colors, marked patterns, and splashed markings. Their compact body is slightly longer than it is tall, with a moderately short muzzle and a sickle-shaped tail that curves over the back.
Temperament and Personality
Despite their tiny size, Chihuahuas possess enormous personalities and are known for their confidence, alertness, and loyalty. They are often described as “terrier-like” in their boldness and can be quite fearless, sometimes forgetting their small stature when confronting larger dogs or perceived threats. Chihuahuas are typically devoted to one person in the family, though they can be affectionate with all family members. They can be reserved or suspicious with strangers and make excellent watchdogs due to their alert nature and tendency to bark at unfamiliar sounds or visitors.
Training and Socialization
Early socialization and consistent training are crucial for Chihuahuas to develop into well-behaved companions. These intelligent dogs can be somewhat stubborn and may try to assert dominance despite their size, making it important to establish clear boundaries from puppyhood. Positive reinforcement methods work best with this breed, as they can be sensitive to harsh corrections. House training can be challenging due to their small bladders and occasional preference for indoor elimination, but patience and consistency typically yield success.
Our Approach
We take pride in our small-scale, family-oriented breeding program where each puppy receives individual attention from birth. Our Chihuahuas are raised in our home environment, ensuring they are well-socialized with people and household sounds from an early age. This early socialization is crucial in developing confident, well-adjusted puppies that will thrive in their new homes.
All our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive health testing to ensure we’re producing the healthiest puppies possible. We work closely with veterinarians to monitor the health of our dogs and puppies, providing all necessary vaccinations, health certificates, and ongoing support to our puppy families.

I purchased my little Princess six months ago, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. From the initial inquiry to bringing Princess home, Jenny was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about matching me with the right puppy. Princess came home fully vaccinated, with all her health records, and a lovely puppy care package. She's been the perfect addition to our family - well-socialized, healthy, and has the sweetest temperament. Jenny still checks in occasionally to see how Princess is doing, which shows her genuine commitment to her puppies' wellbeing. I highly recommend Jenny Chihuahua Pups to anyone looking for a quality Chihuahua companion!
Finding them was a blessing after having disappointing experiences with other breeders. My little Gizmo is now 14 months old and is everything I hoped for in a Chihuahua - spirited but well-mannered, healthy, and incredibly loyal. Their passion for the breed is obvious, and her knowledge helped me tremendously as a first-time Chihuahua owner. She provided ongoing support during Gizmo's adjustment period and even helped me find a great local veterinarian. The health guarantee gave me peace of mind, though thankfully I haven't needed it. Gizmo's parents were both available to meet, which showed Jenny's transparency and pride in her breeding program. I regularly recommend Jenny to friends looking for Chihuahuas - she sets the standard for responsible breeding!
We adopted two Chihuahua sisters, Coco and Bella, from Jenny last year, and they have brought so much joy to our lives. Both girls are healthy, well-adjusted, and have wonderful personalities. Their dedication to proper socialization was evident from day one - both puppies were comfortable with handling, different sounds, and new experiences. The transition to our home was seamless thanks to the excellent preparation and the detailed care instructions she provided. She genuinely cares about her dogs and their future families. We've received countless compliments on how well-behaved and beautiful our girls are. We'll definitely return to them for any future additions to our family!
