San Antonio Chihuahua Breeders Worth the Drive Up I-35
There are only two questions that separate a breeder from a seller: did you breed this puppy, and can I meet its mother? We answer yes to both. Our females live in the house with us, each litter is born here and registered with the AKC, and the mother is in the room when you collect.
That alone is worth the drive. You see the puppy next to the dog it came from, you see where it slept and ate, and you leave having talked to the people who raised it rather than a stranger in a parking lot. Call us on (646) 463-2052 to set a time that keeps you clear of Austin traffic.
Chihuahua Dogs for Sale in San Antonio: Planning the Drive Around Austin
The drive itself is easy: north on I-35 through New Braunfels, San Marcos, Austin and Round Rock, then on to Temple. The part that decides how long it takes is Austin. Hit it at the wrong time and a two hour drive becomes three.
| Starting from | Route | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown San Antonio | I-35 north through Austin | About 2 hours 15 minutes, light traffic |
| Downtown San Antonio | I-35 to SH 130 toll, rejoining I-35 near Georgetown | About 2 hours 15 minutes, steadier at rush hour |
| Stone Oak and Schertz | I-35 or Loop 1604 to I-35 | About 2 hours |
| New Braunfels | I-35 north | About 1 hour 45 minutes |
Our advice: come up mid-morning, after Austin's morning rush, and plan to head home before 3 in the afternoon. If your pickup slot falls near rush hour, SH 130 is worth the toll.
Teacup Chihuahua for Sale in San Antonio, Texas: Feeding on the Way Home
Two hours and more in the car is a long stretch for a 1 pound puppy, so we treat the San Antonio trip as a feeding trip. Your puppy eats with us before it leaves. Then:
- Around San Marcos or New Braunfels, offer a few bites of the starter food and a little water from your fingertip.
- If Austin traffic stops you for long, check the puppy. Sleepy is normal. Limp, shaky or unresponsive is not: rub a little Nutri-Cal or glucose gel on its gums.
- Keep the carrier shaded and the air conditioning on. The Hill Country sun through a side window heats a small carrier quickly.
- Feed again within an hour of getting home, then let the puppy sleep somewhere warm and quiet.
The full routine for the first week is in our teacup Chihuahua hypoglycemia guide.
San Antonio Vet Visits and Bexar County Pet Rules
See a San Antonio vet within three days and bring the record we give you. Texas requires a rabies vaccine by 4 months of age, and your vet will schedule it with the remaining puppy shots. Check your city or county's pet registration rules, as they vary around Bexar County. Our new Chihuahua puppy checklist lists what to have ready at home.
Compare every puppy on our teacup Chihuahua puppies for sale page, or send the free adoption application and mention San Antonio so we can plan a pickup time around Austin traffic.
San Antonio Chihuahua Puppy Questions
How far is San Antonio from your Chihuahua puppies?
Our home in Temple is about 145 miles from downtown San Antonio, around 2 hours 15 minutes up I-35 when Austin traffic is light. At rush hour, Austin can add 45 minutes or more, which is why many San Antonio families take the SH 130 toll road around the east side of Austin instead.
Do you have teacup Chihuahua puppies for sale near San Antonio?
Yes, our teacup size puppies are listed on this page with their age, price, current weight and projected adult weight of 3 to 4 lbs. They are raised in Temple and placed by pickup, so you meet the puppy and its mother before you take it home. Teacup size puppies go home at 10 to 12 weeks.
Is SH 130 worth it when driving from San Antonio to Temple?
On weekdays between 7 and 9 in the morning or 4 and 7 in the afternoon, usually yes. SH 130 is a toll road that runs east of Austin and rejoins I-35 near Georgetown, skipping the slowest stretch of the trip. Outside those hours, staying on I-35 is often just as quick and costs nothing.
