Chihuahua Puppies for Sale in Austin From an AKC Breeder

Chihuahua Breeders an Hour From Austin

Our puppies spend their first weeks with their mother in our home, not in a kennel building. From birth we weigh each one every day, which is how we catch a puppy that is not keeping up long before it becomes a problem. They move onto soft food at around four weeks, and we handle them every day so they grow up used to people, voices and the normal noise of a house.

Being this close to Austin means you can see that for yourself. By the time you visit, your puppy has a feeding routine, a weight log and its first vet check behind it. To ask about a particular puppy before booking a visit, call us on (646) 463-2052.

Chihuahua Puppies for Sale Austin Texas: An Hour Up I-35

Austin is our closest big city. Head north on I-35 through Round Rock, Georgetown and Salado and you are in Temple in about an hour outside rush hour. From the east side, SH 130 is a quick toll alternative that rejoins I-35 near Georgetown.

The only real delay is I-35 through central Austin between 7 and 9 in the morning and 4 and 7 in the afternoon. A late morning visit avoids both.

Visit Twice: Meet the Mother, Then Bring Your Puppy Home

Because the drive is short, many Austin families come up twice. The first visit is to meet the puppy and its mother, see the room the litter is raised in and ask every question in person. The second is go-home day.

For a teacup size puppy, those weeks matter. Our smallest puppies stay with us until 10 to 12 weeks, eating four to five small meals a day, and go home only once they hold their weight between meals. An hour in the car is easy for a puppy that has reached that point: it eats with us before it leaves, and most sleep the whole way to Austin.

Teacup Chihuahuas in Austin Apartments and Homes

A lot of our Austin enquiries come from apartments and condos, and a teacup or toy size Chihuahua can suit that well. A few things we tell Austin families before go-home day:

• Start pad or litter tray training on day one if you live above the ground floor. Our Chihuahua potty training schedule continues the routine we start at home.
• Plan for the heat. Pavement in an Austin summer can burn small paws by mid-morning. Walk early, or carry the puppy until the vaccines are finished anyway.
• Work on hallway noise early. Chihuahuas notice every door and footstep. Rewarding calm from the first week saves months of barking later.

Austin Vet Visits and Pet Registration

See an Austin vet within three days and bring the puppy's vet record and microchip number. Texas requires a rabies vaccine by 4 months of age, and your vet will schedule it with the rest of the puppy series. Check your city's pet registration rules too. Prices for every puppy are on the listing, from $650 to $850, and what each one includes is on our teacup Chihuahua puppies for sale page.
