Thank you for your interest in one of our newborn puppies from this litter. This application is not about “qualifying” you in a strict sense—it’s about helping us thoughtfully match each puppy with the right home based on personality, lifestyle, and readiness. Every puppy we raise is unique, and our goal is always the same: a lifelong, well-matched connection for both puppy and family. Since you’ve clicked on this page, you have connected with one of the adorable puppies. The next step is the application, and where our conversation begins. The application helps us match each puppy with the right home based on personality, lifestyle, and readiness.
🐶 How Our Process Works: We keep things simple and intentional.
🏡 About Our Puppies: Our puppies are raised in our home, not in a kennel environment. They are handled daily, exposed to normal household life, and stay with their mother during early development. This foundation helps shape confident, well-adjusted companions who transition more smoothly into their new homes.
🧠 A Few Important Notes:
- You complete this application
- We review it with specific puppies or litters in mind
- If it feels like a potential match, we’ll reach out personally
- From there, we continue the conversation and next steps together

🧠 A Few Important Notes:

- We may decline or suggest a different puppy if we feel it is a better match
- A deposit may be required once a puppy is reserved

Breeder Placement & Communication Policies
Right of Refusal
The well-being of every Carsten’s Chihuahua puppy is my highest priority. Previous purchases, deposits, applications, or past interactions do not guarantee approval for a future puppy. Each placement decision is made individually with the puppy’s long-term welfare in mind. I reserve the right to refuse or cancel a puppy placement at any time if I believe the home may not be the best fit for the puppy.
Respectful Communication
Carsten’s Chihuahuas values respectful and professional communication with all prospective and current puppy families. Questions are always welcome, and I am happy to provide guidance for the puppies I place. However, abusive language, harassment, threats, repeated unwanted contact, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. If this occurs, I reserve the right to immediately end communication and decline or cancel any current or future puppy placement.
Accuracy & Representation
To protect the integrity of my breeding program, I do not permit the misrepresentation of advice, policies, or care instructions that were not provided directly by me. Statements that inaccurately represent my guidance or breeding practices may result in the refusal of future puppy placements and the termination of breeder support. Clear and truthful communication helps ensure the best outcomes for the puppies and the families who love them.
