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. Most puppies will have a championship pedigree. 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 do not allow them visitors until they are four weeks old. At that time, I will accept deposits on them. All of my puppies are seen by a vet before they leave me. The puppies are generally ready for their new home at eight 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 carrier, bedding, and food/water dish they have become accustomed to, as well as a four pound bag of puppy food. My puppies will also have had their six and eight week old shots and been wormed four times.
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 unless they have you sign a waiver. This guarantee basically states that at the time of transfer I guarantee the puppy to be healthy. In order for this guarantee to be binding you must take your new puppy to the vet within 72 hours of receiving him, as you are responsible for the health of the puppy once he leaves me. If your puppy becomes ill within the 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. I want my puppies to be considered as family members; not purchased simply to breed with or 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, depending on the person and the puppy, upon request. A puppy adopted for companionship purposes only will come with a limited AKC registration.
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.
