Salinacruz Puppies
long and smooth coat Chihuahua puppies from over 35 years of champion bloodlines, raised in the home with care and raised to the breed standard from day one.
Not Just a Puppy — a Salinacruz
Every Salinacruz puppy comes with three and a half decades of breeding knowledge behind it. These are not accidental litters — every breeding is planned, considered, and purposeful.
Yvonne produces a small number of litters each year. This is by design. Fewer litters means more time with each puppy, more careful observation of development, and more attention to finding exactly the right home for each one.
Salinacruz puppies are raised underfoot in the family home from birth. They are handled daily, exposed to household sounds and routines, and socialised to be confident, well-adjusted little dogs long before they go to their new families.
Whether you are looking for a show prospect, a breeding dog, or simply a companion of exceptional quality, a Salinacruz puppy is a dog built to last — in the ring and in the home.

What We Look For in a Home
Salinacruz puppies are placed only with families who can offer the right environment. Chihuahuas thrive with people who understand the breed. Here is what matters to us:
Safe, Secure Home
A home where the puppy will be safe, secure, and treated as a family member.
Time & Attention
Chihuahuas bond closely and need companionship. We want puppies going to people with time to give.
Commitment to Care
Willingness to provide regular veterinary care, appropriate nutrition, and lifelong commitment.
Breed Understanding
Some knowledge of or willingness to learn about the Chihuahua breed and its specific needs.
Supervised with Children
Families with young children should be committed to supervised interaction — Chihuahuas are small and fragile.
Open Communication
We want to hear how our puppies are doing. We love updates and are always here to help if questions arise.
