Windsong Chihuahuas began when I fell in love with a long coat Chihuahua
at a dog show in 1977. To this day, Windsong breeds only long coats.
Since I have been breeding Chihuahuas, my emphasis has been on soundness
and good temperament. The Chihuahua has gotten the reputation of being
a barky, bitey little dog. I believe that temperament is inherited
and strive to breed dogs that have good common sense and are a joy
to their families.
The next most frequent question asked is about size. There really
is no such thing as a "tea cup". Because my daughter, Annalisa,
and I show and the standard states "no more than six pounds"
my Chihuahuas are usually between two and six pounds. I would like
to have all my dogs between four and five pounds. The two pound dogs
are more fragile and susceptible to low blood sugar problems.
I try to promote a free whelping line. This is much easier and safer
for the mother. I am convinced that a body structure that enables
a mother to free whelp is inherited just as temperament is also an
inheritable trait. All of our puppies are handled and loved from birth
as this is very important in making a dog trusting of people and sociable.
I keep my kennel size small so that our dogs may each have individual
attention and do things with the family, such as camping and traveling
with us.
Another question asked is about our pedigrees. Two National Chihuahua
Specialty winners have come from our lines and also many, many champions.
