THE WHITEHEADS
Bill & Cheryl
We live in the north-west corner of Alabama in a little town named
Russellville. We are out in the country so our Chihuahuas have plenty
of room to run when the weather is nice.
I have been showing dogs on and off for over 20 years and had never really
settled on any one breed until I met my husband, Bill, and discovered we
both loved Chihuahuas.
We acquired our first Long Coat in 1995 and our first show dog shortly there
after.
We are now owned by 12 Chihuahuas, 1 Beagle and 3 cats.
All of our animals live in the house with us, they even have their own room
with a window seat so they can lay in the sun. We believe all Chihuahuas
are natural sun worshipers. Next to treats, the sun is their favorite
thing.
We do not do a lot of breeding but do on occasion have puppies available.
All pet puppies are sold on a limited registration and with a written
spay/neuter contract. This means that they cannot be shown and they
cannot be used for breeding purposes. We want to insure that
our puppies go to lifetime homes and will never end up abandoned or in need
of rescue.
We also have stud service available to approved bitches.
We never sell any puppy under 12 weeks of
age.
Because we put so much care and time into our dogs it is important to
us that their potential owners are people of quality. Thus we do not
sell thru agents, at flea markets or at the side of the road. If you
are looking for a quality Pet we recommend that you DO NOT buy from people
who do.
We are members of the:
Chihuahua Club of America
Nashville Chihuahua Club
Tenn-Tucky Toy Dog Club
Chihuahua Rescue and Transportation
All of our dogs are sold with written health guarantees. We guarantee
the following:
All Dogs And Puppies.
1. A dog purchased from us is guaranteed against Distemper, Hepatitis,
Leptospirosis, Parvo and Corona Virus as long as immunization is continued,
as scheduled, by a licensed Veterinarian and normal care is given to the
dog for (90) Ninety days from date of purchase.
2. If the dog dies within (4) Four years of age from a problem related
to a genetic defect, not here-to-fore called to your attention or sold "AS
IS" at a reduction, the dog will either be replaced with another dog 100%
or at half price according to the conditions involved. (OUR CHOICE)
If a replacement dog is ever required we will provide one as soon
as we have one of equal quality and value available.
3. Under NO CONDITIONS will we replace a dog, where we are not advised
of its being ill beforehand, or, "put to sleep" without our permission.
The Following applies to
SHOW DOGS OR SHOW PROSPECTS ONLY
If purchasing a dog from us for showing in conformation,
we guarantee the following to (18) eighteen months of age: SIZE (not to exceed
6 pounds), BITE (level or scissors), PATELLAS (no luxation), TESTICLES (in
males--both to be descended), and ERECT EARS. We DO NOT guarantee a
dog to finish it's Championship Title, we only guarantee that the dog is
within the Standard and has no disqualifying faults.
We DO NOT guarantee that any bitch will free whelp
or not have difficulties in whelping, as we feel that no breeder can honestly
guarantee this.
It is your responsibility to train and continue to socialize
this dog. If you take it home and do not properly train and continue
to socialize it, IT WILL NOT SHOW. Hard work and training comes with
making a dog a Champion and that is your
responsibility.
