Interested in a Proux puppy...

Thank you for your interest in our chihuahuas!

We breed to show, so we usually keep any pups that look promising for the show ring, and really don't use our site to sell puppies.

WE SELDOM HAVE PUPPIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE.

In terms of getting a pet puppy from us, it is generally MUCH easier to get a MALE than a female because we don't usually keep males for our breeding program. Generally we can tell within 8 - 12 weeks that a pup will or won't make the cut as a show dog, but it may 24 to 36 weeks to see how a baby is turning out, especially if we are waiting for testicles to descend.

FOR ALL THESE REASONS, IF YOU HOPE TO GET A PUPPY FROM US,
BE PREPARED TO WAIT PATIENTLY.

Our "pet" pups sell for between $600 and $1500. Our show pups start at $1500. All of our dogs are AKC registered, with at least one AKC champion parent.

We occasionally place adult dogs who have retired from the show ring or our breeding program to special homes for a nominal adoption fee.

We will also consider selling show prospects on co-ownership, to serious exhibitors who are willing and able to campaign it successfully.

All of our dogs are sold or placed with a vet certificate, AKC papers and a health guarantee. Beware of "CKC registered" dogs... people who have lost AKC approval, or never had it, can register just about any dog with the CKC, and there are NO inspections and few regulations to protect the potential puppy buyer.

All puppies are sold with a 12 month guarantee against "significant genetic abnormalities", with a full refund if such problems are documented by a vet. I consider significant genetic abnormalities to be anything that impairs/ impedes the dog's ability to function normally and comfortably, and live a normal life span without the need for sustained or extensive veterinary intervention. Cosmetic issues, such as misaligned teeth, would not fall into this category.

We are in Panama City Beach, Florida.... in the panhandle between Tallahassee and Pensacola, and WE NEVER SHIP puppies. You would have to be willing to come here and meet with us and the puppy if you decided to get one... NO EXCEPTIONS.

WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY UNWANTED AND POORLY BRED PUPPIES BORN IN THIS WORLD ALREADY, AND WE WILL NOT KNOWINGLY ADD TO THE PROBLEM. IF WE SELL A PUPPY AS A "PET", IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE BRED... period, end of discussion.

Therefore, we contractually require that ALL PET PUPPIES be spayed or neutered within 6 months of purchase, and AKC papers will be witheld until proof of sterilization is provided from a licensed veterinarian.
