Hi, I 'am Miranda and this is one of my past horses Skip.
I have owned animals for 29 years. Starting at the age of three my first pet was a wild baby rabbit that I caught all by myself. I have shared my life with several different types of animals and have learned and grown with each. Starting with the wild baby rabbit I also have had ducks, chickens, domestic rabbits, wild blue jays, cockatiels, finches, parakeets, tropical fish, mice, dogs, cats, squirrels, and horses.
I have worked at dog kennels, and horse race tracks.
I have friends that own or have owned goats, sheep, pigs, cockatoos, and monkeys.
My knowledge of animals has grown each year. I never could just have one of each type of animal I always had at least two and up to sixty of each kind of animals at one time or another.
All my friends and family call me when they are either looking for animals, need advice about animals or if they need emergency care.
I have always been there to help and love every minute of it.
I just seem to have a knack for finding good quality, healthy animals, and have done so over the years for friends, family and neighbors. I have decided to share my ability's with others, and let the public have a chance of adding healthy puppies to their home. Advice is free so e-mail me.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Questions, Answers and Diva Dawgs Recommendations:
Q: What age should a puppy be before I bring it home?
A: Puppies are weaned by 6 weeks, and some people believe that puppies can be taken home. Chihuahua puppies are more fragile and need extra care at this age.
My recommendation is 8 weeks at earliest and 12 weeks being preferred for the tiny ones.
Q: How many shots should a puppy have when I bring it home?
A: The puppy should have at least one at 6 weeks old, and then a series of 3 or 4 every three weeks.
My recommendation is that the puppy should have at least two when you bring it home. Also don’t take your puppy out in the public or out side on the ground until it has had full set of shots.
Q: Is there a special diet for a Chihuahua Puppy?
A: Yes, you should keep your new puppy on the food that the breeder recommends for at least the first 2 months. Then you may change it if you like.
My recommendation is that you feed Royal Canin Mini Puppy 33 until the puppy is 10 months old.
Q: Should I supplement my puppy?
A: If you are feeding Royal Canin you should not have to, unless your puppy is a finicky eater.
My recommendation is that you supplement your puppy with NUTRI-STAT high calorie food supplement until the puppy is 16 weeks of age. Chihuahua puppies run a high danger of getting low blood sugar, some puppies can die from this so better to avoid it all together. Please be sure to ask your Vet. and see what they recommend.
Q: How big will my Chihuahua puppy get?
A: You can never guarantee size. The best bet is to look at the parents and grand parents and your new puppy should be the same size give or take a little.
However sometimes puppies will stay very small and some will get a pound or two bigger. Always ask your breeder what they think, but remember it is just a guess.
If a breeder tells you their Chihuahua is a teacup they are not being completely honest. Chihuahua is the ONLY true toy breed. By Kennel club standards there is no tea cup Chihuahua. Chihuahua's can be anywhere from 2lbs to 6lbs as an adult. But sometimes there are smaller one and sometimes there are bigger ones.
Q: How can I judge temperament?
A: Temperament has a lot to do with the parents, but proper socialization has a lot to do with a good temperament, especially in a Chihuahua.
My recommendation is that you take a puppy class and read books on socializing your new puppy. This is a very important step in have a well mannered Chihuahua, that is not afraid of new situations.
