I currently have three AKC Chihuahuas.  Elliott and Luci are Longcoats and Spencer is a Smoothcoat.  I purchased them from a very well respected breeder and AKC Judge located in Delaware.  Spencer will be 1 year old on Friday, Elliott 2 years old in August and Luci will be 2 years old in September.  All three of them have been spayed or neutered.  They are very well socialized and have been attending the Philadelphia Chihuahua Meetup since they finished their initial vaccination series.  I have been working with them in obedience using the reward method and they are coming along quite well.  They are very well behaved dogs that we have been able to take them to hotels and restaurants without incident.  Luci and Elliott have also done some modeling.  I hope to test them for their CGC in the fall and eventually certify them as Therapy dogs.  I did therapy work with my late Shar Pei.  As far as my background ~ I worked as a licensed AHT at a surgical referral practice for seven years and later went on to work for a veterinary pharmaceutical distributor as a manager.  I have had Australian Shepherds, Chinese Shar Pei and now Chihuahuas.
