Tiffany's chihuahuas

They can certainly talk the talk.!

In my long search I looked at them and very quickly decided not to buy from them.
Not sure if its against T&C's to elaborate, so I won't.
 
Their website alone would make me run a mile! They will take your deposit via paypal without even having met you, and when you visit they have lots of chihuahua "accessories" for sale, sounds to me as they are purely in it for the money. Sorry, probably not very helpful but I wouldn't buy from them.
 
Yes they make big claims about many things including who they sell to. Then advertise on preloved, or direct from their website. A very smart marketing machine behind a glorified BYB.
 
Have a look on a website called Champ Dogs, it's where a lit of breeders advertise puppies for sale and a lot are reccommended by the kennel club. Still do your research on them though.
 
Just to say Hairy Horror the KC do not "recommend" breeders. They give out the Assured Breeders accreditation but there are plenty of breeders who have this who I would not go to. Having said that I agree that Champ Dogs is one of the better sites, or better still go to breed clubs and ask what breeders they recommend .
 
We have rang around all seem to sell £1000 and above and for showing and the odd one for pets but they don't go into details any further. It's been hard to fine anything ATM.
 
A bit short notice but UK Toy Dog Championship show is on today at Stafford showground and you will be able to find decent recommendations there, otherwise contact any of these https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/services/public/findaclub/breed/list.aspx?id=6150 and please don't fall for flash website with hyped up unregistered puppies that are bred purely for sale.
You should be able to find a pet puppy from a show breeder for under a £1000 and beware anyone advertisings "rare" colours as some of these are not accepable.

BTW isn't that the site connected with the family on the Beeston sales threads?
 
Take your time and be sure to get the right puppy. It took me 8 months to find mine. Not because they are not out there, they are, in the hundreds. Because it took that long to filter out the enormous amount of poor puppies offered for sale by money mad breeders.
I eventually found a really experienced chi lady who owned just four and bred a litter every 2 or 3 years, my pup is super quality, could be shown, and a fantastic temperament. She cost me £700.
Be really really careful buying chihuahuas, there is some really awful quality and even worse quality humans selling them.
Beware the teacup chihuahua, there is no such thing, it is the litter runt, for sale at eye watering prices with eye watering vets bills to follow.
 
Stafford is too far for us to travel short notice. We are based Swindon Wiltshire if anyone knows reputable sellers of long haired chihuahuas around £750 no more.
 
We want one this summer it's for my mums birthday. We did think Tiffanys looked reputable but does sell a lot of puppies it seems!
 
What made you think the site was respectabele as to anyone with experience it screams puppy farm.
Where are the photos of te adults? Their pedigrees? The show reports? The reasons behind breeding? There is a lot of info stolen from otehr sites and just because they talk about it doesn't mean the do it!
Compare with this breeder's site - http://www.valenchinolongcoatchihuahuas.com/Home.php

Not all about selling but extolling the virtures of their dogs and I'm sure if you phone them you would get fair advice (I don't know them just did a quick search as I haven't bought a chi for over 20 years.) You have some kosher links to follow up but don't wait for adverts as chis tend to have small litters and most puppies are booked without being advertised.
 
The thing is, a reputable pup commands a good price for good reason.

If I were you, and you don't want to show, I would contact the breed club secretary. They will often point you in the right direction of good breeders with litters planned or on the ground, and you can discuss with them your budget and whether they know any pups that are not for the show ring. We "register" our plans for litters and notify the club when litters are on the ground with what we have, including the odd rare pup unlikely to make the grade etc. that way for us, they get good approved homes we check ourselves, and as a buyer, you get a reputable breeder (hopefully!) with support of the club.
 
When I had a look at the Tiffany's Chihuahuas website, my five year old daughter looked over my shoulder and asked me if it was a dog game. Not really the sort of site that makes a good impression, in my opinion. There are so many bad breeders to avoid, who are out there and in your face with fancy ads and websites, trying to reel people in and relieve them of their cash. Several years ago I considered getting a Chihuahua, but I never did find one that I felt wasn't an obvious BYB product close enough for us to travel to. Had I come across that Tiffany's website when I was looking, it would have put me right off from the moment it finished loading. To me, the Valenchino website was by far the more impressive, and told me more about their work with their breed on the first page than the entire Tiffany's website did in total... of course, I did give up after I got a load of those outfits for dogs...
 
We did a skype with Tiffany Chihuahuas and although she showed us puppy and parents something just didnt seem right. Have phoned breed club but no answer so far! Female long haired chihuahuas seem so elusive!
 
It's a big toy championship show today as s4sugar has said so you probably won't get much joy trying to contact people today . Best try tomorrow or next week.

Sometimes if you want a quality, healthy pup you have to be prepared to wait. I personally would never sell a puppy to someone who was buying it for someone else as a birthday gift unless that individual was involved in the selection/visiting process.

As above, I would avoid that website...it rings alarm bells to me.
 
Does have to be a pup? Swindon's Needy Dogs Rescue have got some beautiful long haired Chihuahuas that will soon be looking for a home :)
 
Already got them from a breeder on champ dogs parents kc registered. She was actually at the show in Stafford and one of there stuffs of puppy came 3rd and qualified for crafts!
 
You've just announced a red flag & it is against champdogs rules to sell unregistered.
It is only £15 a pup and usually means the parents are endorsed or have had too many litters.- how old are these puppies?
