Chihuahua Express Is Now Boarding
Whether you are looking for a top quality Chihuahua to add to a breeding program, a show potential, or simply an adoring companion, we have the perfect Chihuahua for you.
We have been very fortunate to have added some very nice mommies and daddies to our family. They are excellent quality Chihuahuas with super temperaments and wonderful personalities. I am always very excited when new litters arrive. Their puppies are always adorable, sweet, and very affectionate. All of our puppies are AKC registered with champion pedigrees.
Hello and welcome to Chihuahua Express. My name is Melissa Sharp and I am a licensed breeder within the state of Kentucky. We live in Louisville in the Pleasure Ridge Park area. My family and I raise AKC Registered Chihuahuas in a variety of colors in smooth and long coats. All puppies will have a championship pedigree. Even if you are not interested in breeding/showing, a championship pedigree is an indication of the quality of the puppy's bloodline. Their adult weights range from three to six pounds, with most being in the four to four and a half pound range. I use a chart that will estimate what the weight of your puppy will be full grown. You can access this chart as well from my links page.
My dogs live in the house with us. They are all loving and spoiled members of the family. Our children help care for and socialize with the dogs and puppies. For the sake of the puppies, I generally do not allow them visitors until they are at least three weeks old. At that time, I will accept deposits on them. The puppies are typically ready for their new home at nine weeks of age. I will keep a puppy longer if I feel it is best for the puppy. When I feel they are ready for the transition from my home to yours, they will each come with their own blanket, food/water dish, and four pound bag of puppy food. My puppies will also have had a parvo shot at four weeks and a multi shot at six and eight weeks. My puppies are de-wormed four times, at two, four, six, and eight weeks.
With your puppy, you will also receive a copy of my health guarantee, which any breeder within Metro Louisville, by law is required to give you. This guarantee basically states that at the time of transfer I guarantee the puppy to be healthy. Once the puppy leaves me, you are responsible for its health. If your puppy becomes ill within three days, or a vet determines within the 72 hours, that the puppy was unfit for adoption at the time of transfer, I will replace the puppy with a similar puppy, that both you and I can agree on. In addition, if a life-threatening genetic problem develops within the first year, I will again replace the puppy with a similar puppy, that both you and I can agree on. I take my puppies health very seriously and I can honestly say my puppies always leave me happy and healthy.
The adoption fee will vary depending on male or female, long or smooth coat, and the registration accompanying the puppy. I do not give breeding rights to just anyone. Choosing to breed comes with a great responsibility in caring for the health of your dogs and finding the puppies good homes. It is a big decision that requires knowledge of the breed and the understanding of what the possible consequences may be. I want my puppies to be considered as family members, not purchased to become part of a puppy mill. I want my puppies to continue to be loved as much as they were while they were with me. A full AKC registration with breeding/show rights will be granted only upon request. A puppy adopted for companionship purposes only will come with a limited AKC registration.
Chihuahuas have very little dander. If they are bathed regularly (once a month), they are virtually hypoallergenic. A Chihuahua may make a great addition for a family who has someone with allergy issues.
Per state laws governing the sale of items, which includes animals, a 6% sales tax applies to the adoption fee of puppies. However, for simplicity sake, all prices quoted, already include the sales tax. I calculate how much of the fee needs to be paid in for taxes and forward it to the government quarterly.
As each of my puppies remain a part of my heart, even after they join their new family, I reserve the right to refuse to place a puppy with someone who I fear may be unable or unwilling to provide a good home, love, attention, and veterinarian support for the puppy.
If you feel you are ready for the commitment of loving and caring for a puppy, and the Chihuahua is the right breed for you, contact me and I will happily help match you up with your ideal puppy that will bring you as much joy as mine has brought me.
Deposits may be made by check, money order, or cash.
Final payments at pick up must be made in cash.
If you have any more questions, please contact me.
Have a great day!
