Chihuahua Puppies for Sale in California From an AKC Breeder

Chihuahua Breeders for California Families

A puppy that flies across the country has to be ready for it, and deciding when it is ready is the breeder's job. We do not fly a puppy because a date on the calendar arrived. We fly it when it has been eating confidently on its own for long enough that we trust it on a three hour flight, which is why our teacup size puppies stay with us until 10 to 12 weeks.

Until then your puppy stays with us and its mother in our home in Texas. Call us on (646) 463-2052 before you reserve to ask about any puppy on this page.

Chihuahua for Sale in California: Flown to You or Collected

We fly your puppy to you. California is our longest regular trip, so it gets the most planning. One of us flies with your puppy under the seat, feeds it a small meal during the flight and meets you in arrivals. You get a proper handover with the feeding schedule, potty routine and low blood sugar signs, plus the puppy's records and starter food.

Or send someone to collect. If a friend or family member is visiting Texas, they can collect your puppy from our home by appointment, meet the mother and get the full walkthrough. Send us their name ahead of time and confirm in writing.

Chihuahua Puppies for Sale in Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and the Bay Area

Remember the two hour time difference. A flight that leaves Austin at 9 lands in California around 10:15 local time, so the puppy's next meal is due sooner than the clock suggests. We give you a written feeding schedule in both time zones.

Chihuahuas for Sale in California and the Pet Store Ban

California does not allow pet stores to sell puppies from breeders, so families looking for a particular breed and size often look further afield. That is also where scams cluster: ads with stock photos, sellers who will only ship cargo, and fees that keep growing. With us you see real photos of the puppy taken in our home, you meet a real person at the airport, and the price on the listing, from $650 to $850, is the price. Our Chihuahua puppy scam guide explains how to check any seller, us included.

Settling In Across California's Climates

California covers very different weather. Coastal Los Angeles and San Diego are mild all year, which suits a Chihuahua perfectly. The Central Valley and Inland Empire hit 100 degrees in summer, so keep walks to early morning and never leave the puppy in a car. The Bay Area is cool and damp much of the year, and a smooth coat puppy will appreciate a light sweater on foggy mornings.

California requires a rabies vaccine and a city or county dog license by 4 months, so book your vet within three days and bring our vet record. If you are still choosing a coat, our long coat vs smooth coat Chihuahua guide helps. Read how flights work on our delivery page, then send the free adoption application.
