Chihuahua puppies at our stores
Chihuahuas go home most often from our West Jordan store, and they ranked in the top ten at St. George in the past year. Families often ask how small a Chihuahua stays, and whether a 'teacup' is a different breed. It is not; 'teacup' is a marketing word. The AKC says a Chihuahua should not exceed 6 pounds, at 5 to 8 inches tall, with a life span of 14 to 16 years. Small dogs need gentle hands and a warm sweater on cold days. Ask us to text you when one arrives.

PICTURE LIFE TOGETHER
Get to know the Chihuahua.
A few thoughtful details to help you take the next step.
Room to grow
Chihuahua adult weight reference: Up to 6 lb. This is a typical breed range or reference, not a measured average. An individual dog’s build and adult weight can differ. Ask us about the specific puppy and their parents before choosing.
Play, learn & bond
Make daily life a chance to connect: gentle games, short lessons and time to settle. Ask the team how a puppy you like plays, learns and rests. Adjust activity as your puppy grows.
Reward-based training and positive introductions help build a confident start.
Coat care, made simple
Make grooming a comfortable part of life together. Choose a brush for the Chihuahua’s coat, start with gentle handling and ask about a routine for brushing, bathing and professional grooming where needed.
