Chihuahua Dog Breeders

Looking for a Chihuahua breeder? Glossy websites and cute puppy photos make it hard to know what a kennel is really like. Pawthenticity is a nonprofit that collects public government inspection records into free, searchable breeder profiles, so you can see what inspectors found before you bring a Chihuahua home.

Pawthenticity tracks 88 licensed kennels that breed Chihuahuas. They average 97 dogs of all breeds, and the largest has 410. More than half (47 kennels, or 53%) have been cited by inspectors, for 555 citations in total. The kennels are in 17 states, mostly Missouri (37), Indiana (9), Ohio (6), Arkansas (6) and Iowa (6). Hobby and unlicensed breeders aren't included.
