We officially have named our new fella Mr Beasley. Just seems to fit his personality. We had a great airport and return flight experience. He did not make a peep. When we arrived home he took to Jeff quickly but you could tell I was his comfort. He ate well and slept with us without problems. He has been quite fun today playing and barking / growling with some of his toys. He is eating well. Jeff has a home office and was here today so Mr B has spent quality time in his lap while he was doing computer work He is stealing some of my affection now. We began outdoor pottying today he seems to understand. All poops have been outside (2) so far and has teed @ least 6 times outside. Only one on pad first thing this am my fault actually it was chilly and I put him down on floor to put in jacket he was on the pad teeing when I looked around. Pad was a good thing though. We are totally smitten with him as is all our friends and family who are meeting him thru pictures. I am so glad we found you. I will continue to update you. He is in good hands.
Hope you are having a good day.
Take Care,
Kim Jeff and Mr Beasley

This write up below is from Hayden's new mom!  He is now named Mr. Beasley and this is her update!

Good morning hope all is well. I wanted to give you a quick update on our first wk with Mr B. He had his vet visit and 2nd shots. He had a perfect report...just mentioned font not yet closed which is normal. His wt was 1.8 lbs. Our vet was extremely complimentary of your breeding skills and knowledge contained and provided in your info sheets. He agreed with your recommendations on excluding the L vaccine (can't recall name) and not including the rabies at same time of last shots.
Aa far as Mr B and adjustment he is doing very well. He is eating and drinking often and outdoor pottying going well too. I have learned crating him in his tote is working perfectly. He sleeps through night until around 7 am daily. He is a perfect companion in his tote riding in car and out and about. He enjoys long periods of playtime with his toys and he is socially engaging with our friends. We have arrived at the beach and he did great on his first beach outing. Stayed in tote sniffing sea air for a couple hours then enjoyed playtime in the sand. He prissed around as if he is born to be a bch bum which fits me perfectly. Jeff and I both love him up as we say and he is getting plenty of affection and quality lap sitting and licking time. He is a precious little fella and again we are so glad we found you. I tried send you a beach pic previously but my lack of tech skills may mean you did not receive.
Hope you are well and all your 4 legged angels are too.
All the best
Kim Jeff and Mr Beasley

We are so in love with this little dog. He is eating well and slept all night without a peep out of him. Took him outside and he peed and pooped like a big boy. He seems to already be in a good routine. He has peed on the puddle pad in the laundry room but has only pooped outside. He loves his toys and is so much fun to watch him play, He takes his toys to bed with him. I think he has handled this transition very well. He is learning to trust us to take care of him and understand his needs. Thanks again!

Love, Andrea

The Vet was so tickled at me for going from a big dog to a one pounder---she weighs one pound and .07 ounces.  He said she is in perfect health at this point and wanted to know all about my breeder. so I had a golden opportunity to tell him about you.  He said Ann, I respect and trust you so much, that I will recommend your breeder in case someone asks about where they could find a Chic.

I go back in 2 weeks for further vaccinations.  I told him about the Lipo and he agreed.  Also, he wanted me to ask you about how old you would recommend for your puppies to be before being spayed.

 When we got home she went straight to the litter box, hopped in and tinkled and pooped.  Can you believe that?  She is eating and drinking good.

To keep you informed about Bitsy-----------I am going to send her back to you because she is killing me laughing at her-----------cutest thing I have seen dragging things around playing.(ha) In all my years I have never seen a puppy as smart and happy  as she is and it stems from how you care and love them.  She truly is the joy of my life and I have only had 48 hours.  She continues to use the litter box and does not cry when I put her in her crate when I go down to eat.Just unbelievable! 

Wanted to share this with you.  Have a blessed weekend.

Hi Shirley,

Thanks so much for Buster!!  He is adapting well to our home and family.  He has already met his two cousin Chihuahuas.  He is VERY spoiled….has to sleep with me at night and won’t leave my side.  I have a sling that I carry him around in because he has to be close to me at all times.  I hope I’m not making a mistake by spoiling him but he is such a little thing.  I feel bad if he cries.  He is very loving and playful.  We are hooked and love him very much!  I will send pictures as he gets older.

Thanks so much,

Gina

Hi Shirley,Here are two pictures taken of our beloved Sabra. They were taken last Sunday after the Steelers - Browns game. Needless to say as evidenced by her official Steelers jersey she is a huge fan and even has her own terrible towel. She has brought so much joy to our lives that I’ll never be able to thank you enough.

Dear Shirley,

I have to tell you the love story about Sophie. I will never forget the introduction to both you and Sophie. When I decided to get a new puppy, I was going through a rough divorce. I had leased an apartment and I was lonely. I had seen a photo of Sophie via internet from you. When we met you in San Marcos at the outlet mall you brought 4 or 5 puppies for me to choose from. I “thought” I wanted a male, but when Sophie was placed in my arms, it was love at first sight. I remember that all of the puppies were clean and beautiful. I really would have loved to have had them all. I could tell instantly that you were an expert at raising pups.

Shirley, Sophie is my child and my angel. I thank you very much for bringing such a special angel in my life.

Much love to you and all of your puppies!

Barbara Ables

Shirley,

As you can see, Pesto (aka Tahoe) has become a happy member of the Feld household. He is adorable. I keep checking the site for new puppies. I never thought I would like a chihuahua, never mind fall in complete love with one. Pesto is my personal buddy. He hangs with me all the time. Bear and Baci just love him, particularly Baci; they are real buds. I just wanted to let you know that he is healthy and happy. By the way, he eats like a little pig; I have to limit him because he won't stop. He is a real love.

Merry Christmas from the Felds!

Nancie, Doug, Bear, Baci, & Pesto Feld

Hi Shirley!

Nice to hear from you! Rocky is on top of the world. We are so pleased, after moving  to our new home Rocky has really stepped up his game. He runs “his” back yard like a kingdom, and he has us well trained. Believe it or not he ring’s his bell when he needs to go out. I will send you a video of this in the next few days. We placed a service bell by the back door and he figured it out quickly. It’s one of those bells you see at a reception desk when you ring for service. He has mastered the subtleties needed for a soft ring when we are sitting nearby as well as the urgent “Ding! Ding! Ding!” when there are pressing matters.  He seems to have reached his full weight at a whopping four pounds! He is still the most handsome little man that you remember. I will forward current pictures and the video when we download them from the camera. Carson and Hannah send their regards as well.

Thanks for checking in!

I thought I would drop you note about what a pleasure Rocky is. He has already made a place in the heart of our family. He is just as you described, happy and playful for a couple of hours then crashes. He really seems happy!

But first thing is first. Hershey's name has changed to "MACK". Since our family is a LONGHORN family we named him after MACK BROWN. We acknowledge out UT Pride and the fact that he is a chocolate brown color, just made it work.

How does he fit into our family? How doesn't he! Our family is a family of dog lovers so Mack is never without a friend to play with.

As far as MACK and our daughter...I couldn't have asked for a BETTER dog. Isabel and MACK are growing up together. That was exactly why we got him and it's going GREAT! Isabel is 5 months now and her interaction with MACK grows everyday. You can tell from the few pics sent. MACK is so gentle with her. That is so important to us, because at this stage in our daughter's life she isn't so gentle.

Every morning our ritual begins with Erick taking MACK to potty. Isabel and I wait for them to come up. I start to get Isabel dressed with MACK at her side keeping her entertained. It's so cute! He will just lie next to her and lick her little hands, this makes Isabel laugh every time. Then it changes with the day. On our days off, Erick's or mine, MACK stays with us and goes to run errands. MACK loves car rides. At first not so much, it was new. Now he can't wait to go somewhere. He loves hanging out the window and letting the wind hit his face. If we both work that day, then we take MACK to one of our parents' houses where he has huge backyards to play in. It just doesn't seem right to leave him at home alone.

I guess I have made this letter long enough. I really just wanted to give you an update on how MACK "the dog formerly known as HERSHEY" was doing. I truly believe that I found your website for a reason. MACK fits perfectly in our lives. I know that he has brought smiles to all of our faces and we are so lucky to have gotten him.  

THANK YOU !

This is from the couple that bought Willy Wonka.... 8-2006

I took Willy to the vet today.  She said he was in great shape and was especially impressed with the quality of his medical treatment.  He is doing very well – eating/drinking/going potty outside/playing with Jelly.  He slept through the night right beside Jelly’s bed on his blanket.  I think he has intentions of moving into the bed but is being respectful for the time being!  That is the first time I have had that happen with a new puppy.  Usually there is crying, fussing, etc.  Jelly and he had a great romp this afternoon.  I’m really pleased with how everything is going between them – I thought it would take longer.

Thank you!
