Since you’ve clicked on this page, you have connected with the adorable puppy. The next step is the application; this is where the conversation begins. Our application helps us match each puppy with the right home based on personality, lifestyle, and readiness.
I always call and will offer video chats between you and our puppies before we accept deposits on our puppies, if you can’t visit in person. Your trust matters.
Our goal is always to place each puppy in a home where they will be loved, understood, and well cared for for life. Let’s see if this puppy is meant for you. By clicking ‘SUBMIT’ to be matched for this puppy, you agree to the terms of our non-refundable deposit.
- Once you have been approved and your deposit has been received, your puppy is reserved exclusively for your family.
- At that point, the puppy is no longer available to other approved families, which is why all deposits are non-refundable. Before placing a deposit, please be sure you are ready to welcome a puppy into your home and have discussed the decision with everyone involved. My goal is for every puppy to be placed in a loving, committed forever home.
- The only circumstance in which a deposit will be refunded is if your reserved puppy becomes seriously ill, is injured, or passes away while in my care. Deposits must be received through an approved electronic payment method within two (2) business days of approval. By accepting the Health Guarantee via email and submitting your deposit, you acknowledge that you have been approved, have reviewed the Health Guarantee, and understand our mutual expectations.
- The remaining balance is due within five (5) days of your puppy's scheduled delivery date. If you are picking your puppy up in person, the final payment is due at the time of pickup.
I prefer that you complete the application so I have your information ready when I reach out.

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 do not accurately 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.
