Welcome to CHI IDOLS
From the beautiful Ozark hills of Missouri . . . to you.
My "Chi Idols" are bred and raised right here with me, and
enjoy their puppy life in sunny playgrounds and fresh country air. They get the best of food, love, and kind treatment.
Their pedigrees carry many Champions, but each and every
Chi Idol has another destiny -- to fill that spot in your heart,
cuddle up in your lap, or walk proudly in the show ring.
Chihuahuas come in an astonishing array of colors, sizes,
shapes, and personalities. Each is unique. They have strong communication and bonding abilities. Chi's are fascinating
and I truly enjoy raising these amazing little dogs.
So be my guest, enjoy the pictures and who knows, you just
might find your new puppy!

CHI IDOLS FAQ
Smaller puppies will not be shipped before 12 weeks or until they are eating well and are up-to-date with their vaccines.
CHI IDOLS puppies are often held for evaluation as Show Puppies,
therefore they may be sold at 4 to 8 months. Rest assured, at this age they are still ready to bond and train. You have the added benefit of knowing for sure what size and qualities your new companion will have.
Deposits are 20% of the purchase price and are not refundable or transferable. Be sure you want the puppy before placing your deposit!
Often, small Chihuahuas are not suitable pets for young children. Please be aware of the issues and responsibilities regarding toy breeds.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. I'll do everything I can to match the right dog with the right person or family.
I reserve the right to sell to whomever I believe will provide the best home.
Before sending a deposit, call me to discuss the puppy's placement with you and to make buying and delivery arrangements.

First of all, it bothers me not one whit when people use the word Teacup. In my opinion, there's no reason to get overly excited about the use of this term.
I find the word 'Teacup' to be a cute and descriptive word for a diminutive Chi. It doesn't connote a different breed of dog, or anything like that. It's simply a way to describe an especially small dog so that people will understand what we're talking about.
I use the word interchangeably with "Tiny" or the newer term "Micro". But let's face it, even though 'Micro' is an apt description, it's not a very pretty word and -- well, what's wrong with 'Teacup' anyway?
Of course, opinions differ on what onstitutes a teacup. To me, anything between 1.5 lbs (can't find them any smaller than that, and it is rare to find that at all) and 3.5 lbs is a teacup. Others may cap the size at 3 lbs, and this is fair. Bottom line -- we are talking about very small Chi's here. 2 1/2 lbs is a mighty small Chi, and most definetly a teacup.
I don't exactly 'specialize' in very small Chihuahuas (I'm going for show dogs, but am just as happy finding great pet homes for the brothers and sisters). But, I get quite a few tiny ones. I don't consider them the 'runts' of the litter. These genes go all the way back to the first Chi's in the U.S.A., many of which were very small. They were carried around in the 'pockets' of the Western pioneers and found their way to both coasts. Early diary entries tell about it, and also that the little dogs often died. Probably, they weren't aware of the need to feed them regularly. What a shame!
Anyway, Chihuahuas are small dogs and they produce small dogs. So, for me, I use the word teacup . . . feel free to leave a comment if you agree or disagree.
We'll talk more about teacup Chihuahuas in a later post. It's all so fascinating!
Have a great Chihuahua day!
