My girlfriend and I decided to look to buy a Chihuahua from www.chihuahuapuppiesforsale. Not to mention that we was 16 & 17 years old. It was our first time to purschase a Chihuahua from the internet. Even though, it may be risk. I guess it's all depend on which breeders as such as "repubate breeder" and we thought Chris Hansen was a repubate breeder from New York.

I thought I was talking to Chris as a man but later, I found out it's a lady. I emailed Chris and she is poorly at grammars. She is hearing and I am deaf. I am sure she is aware of this. I started to warm up with her. She was nice to me. She made a compliment about me being a handsome after I sent her a picture of me. I told her that I had a girlfriend.

She knows that I was a minor. I asked her since I am not 18 years old. Is it alright if I buy a puppy from her. She told me at least you are not 16 years old and if you have a money. I told the breeder yes. We decided on "Murphy" and he was 6 months old at that time. The breeder told me that he weighted 2 lbs at a full grown. We wanted a small dog. Somehow, Chris told me that he is priced as "$2,500.00" and I begged her to reduce and she said, "I will accept $2,000.00 and $150.00 for the shipping fee." and we all agree.

My girlfriend and I paid Chris thur paypal. No scams, frauds or anything. Chris got our $2,000.00 and she sent Murphy (Chihuahua puppy) **a Black & Tan w/ White longhaired male** to the airport and we came to pick him up. First thing, we noticed about Murphy was A) overbite, B) he cannot bred at all & C) he wasn't even 2 lbs. He weighted 3.8 lbs to be exact at the vet. We were upset about the overbite. Chris told me to promise that I'll pay $150.00 for Chris so she will send me the CKC register papers. How fair is that?! She lied to me about the male's current weight, overbite and not in a great shape! We paid her $2,000.00!! We worked so hard and we lost our money! So I decided not to send Chris the last $150.00.

Because Chris refused send me the CKC register papers and will not refund our money based on her lies about "Murphy" and I asked her to take Murphy back so I can get my money back.

Somehow, I spoke with BANK and PAYPAL. They agreed about my situation. They took $2,000.00 back. Chris was upset. Now she can understand how I felt. We kept Murphy a bit longer until we couldn't keep him anymore due to schools. We decided to give Murphy to a friend of ours. She took him for free. I couldn't sell an overbite, bad shape of healthy and no good t******e male for $2,000! It's unfair.

So I got a lot of nasty emails from Chris, her sons and her husband. They called us bad names like dumb deaf kid and called my girlfriend a slutty. They started it off crazy and they are acting like childish! They are olders and they should set their role model as examples to kids. But they even quoted, "You shouldn't be F*** with New Yorkers." I don't care if they are New Yorkers. They sent me many nasty emails. Of course, we don't like it. I decided to reduce the problem. I decided to sent Murphy back to Chris in order to stop them acting like immatures.

I paid $250.00 for the shipping fee and Chris emailed me and told me thank you. I agreed with this. Chris got Murphy. Now somehow, a friend of ours warned us. Chris makes up things about us on the website. Chris tried to warn a lot of breeders bad things about us. Chris called my girlfriend and me a bad theifts and everything. If we did, our butts would be in the JAIL! Don't you agree? Well she made a lot of mistakes. She thinks we kids couldn't do anything about it. She slandered about us on her website. I would suggest you to take a look at this, http://www.chihuahuapuppiesforsale.com/murphy.html and we are very upset about this. Our lives could be in danger because of this NOT TRUE story about us!

Chris has over 60 Chihuahuas and they are in the need of attentions. Chris has a health problem and everything! She doesn't treat them to the vet and she is a greedy person. Later, I learned a lot about Chihuahuas and I started to feel that Chris is a rip off since she is selling her Chihuahua puppies for $1,800 to $5,000 dollars! That is too much! She created them as "TEACUP CHIHUAHUAS" but most of them are standard sizes and not best looking Chihuahua puppies.

I admit, I don't even know why I paid for Murphy in the first place. That is because it was our first Chihuahua puppy from the internet and we couldn't help it but overexcited about it.

NOW I NEED YOUR HELP! I NEED TO STOP THIS LADY TO BREEDING HER CHIHUAHUAS, SELLING THE PUPPIES FOR RIP OFF AND HURTING YOUNG KIDS. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS SLANDER ABOUT US! SHE EVEN TOOK THE PERSONAL PICTURES OF US WITHOUT ASKING OUR PERMISSIONS! I emailed her to remove the pictures and she called me bad names. I do really need your help! Thank you!

George Lee is a con.
He sold me a puppy for a lot of money and when it was to be delivered he told me it was not medically able to be shipped and disappeared. He can not be found. I spoke to an atty and if we all filed criminally against him he would be held liable.
Contact me if you would like to join me in suit.

where are you george? you can not hide foreverrrrr!
you should be ashamed for using your deafness as a crutch for being a crook!!!
shame shame on you!

last i heard he was starting a breeding program of chinese chins along with chihuahua's. God forbid, I hope he is not breeding dogs or any other animal of any kind.

'About Us!'

Hello! My name is George Keolanui Lee but please call me Lee. I'm deaf. I went to the mainstream schools all of my life. I grew up in Oahu, Hawaii until my mother married my dad. My mom is also a deaf. But my dad and three brothers are hearing but they know sign languages as well. We moved from Hawaii to Washington State. I had a second brother which my parent gave a birth to. My second brother, Jesse is now 16 years old. We basically moved to San Diego, California. We had a third brother Tony which he is 14 years old right now and lastly, we had the last young baby brother, Garrett. He is 12 years old. My parent's names are Jefferey & Mi Sook Davis. Finally, we resided in Apache Junction, Arizona for 11 years now. Until I met my girlfriend, Nataliya. Not to mention that Nataliya is also a deaf too. We became together and have been with for three years. Of course, as you can see that I am the oldest brother of all. Please pardon me, I'm 21 years old. I went to Mesa Community College for one year. Nataliya and I decided to live in Long Beach, California. I am attending California State University Northridge. I'm majoring in Criminal Justice. My girlfriend, Nataliya is a model, a dancer & a stylist. She is attending Pirece Community University. We are about to graduate soon! We are definitely looking forward to it!


please read his bio on his website below ,, if you belive his craxiness   you dont deserve one of my chihauhaus lol   people came from all over the world fro my Chihuahaus  Also the girl who wrote the anonymous complaint about the puppy with 10 million medical ailments is a bogus slanderous lie    no wonder it is anonymous  lol


The main reason why I'm breeding Chihuahuas. That is why I'm creating this website to show how much I truly love the breed of a dog. Chihuahua has taught me that I never experienced and learned before. I don't teach Chihuahuas. They teach me! I learned from them! I remembered when I was 6 years old. I grew up with my family. My mother's brother which is my also uncle. He had a Chihuahua. It was a Black & Tan Spotted on White. Definitely a short-haired and about 3 pounds at a full grown. My uncle called him, Sam. I used to hate Sam so much because he wasn't nice to me. (I researched and understood that Chihuahua usually don't really like to get along with children. Because Chihuahuas are very fragile! That is why Chihuahuas are "designed" for adults & elders.) So I always think that a Chihuahua is the most ugly back then when I was a kid. I didn't understand that much about Chihuahua. Until I get a bit older and my mom got a first Chihuahua, Sam Sr. He was a Blue Phantom short-haired and weighted about 5-6 pounds at a full grown. My mom got him from her sister in Oklahoma. At first, I thought he is going to be mean but I was wrong. My mom and I fell in love with Sam Sr. He was protecting us very much. Sam Sr. doesn't like my brothers and my dad. That is when I started to research about Chihuahuas. It has been 7 years of researching on Chihuahuas. Believe it or not, I never get bored with it! I always like to learn something about Chihuahuas. Everyday, I'm still learning! You will be so amazing when you come to own a Chihuahua. A Chihuahua isn't like any of these dog of breeds. Chihuahua has every of their unique personalities. That is why I'm falling in love with Chihuahuas. Anyways- my mom and I decided to purschase a female Chihuahua so Sam Sr. can have a playmate. Baby is what my mom calls. Baby is a Fawn & White short-haired and she is short-legged. A great cobby body and a beautiful curly tail. She is practically a queen of the house! Sam Sr. was very happy to have her around. Until they just made the puppies. Until Sam Sr. died because of a hawk attacking. It's not that easy to let Chihuahuas to play outside especially due to the fact that they are super small. Hawk, Cocoyte, Snake & Predators are attracted to small animals like Rabbit, Frog, Bird & etc. It was a sad moment. My mom was truly upset. So I surprised my mom a new male puppy. His name is Sam Jr. He is a Blue Spotted on White short-haired and weighted 2.5 pounds. After that, they made a lot of adorable puppies. Baby is now 6 years old and is retired. Sam Jr. is about a year old and is still studing girls out! And how about me? I remembered that I got my very first Chihuahua, Shorty Patch. He was a Sable Spotted on White short-haired and weighted about 3 pounds at a full grown. His parent was Baby and Sam Sr. I kept him because Shorty was following me all the time. I had him for a year until he died of a Parvo. I learned about Parvo. That is why it's really important to give the shots to 8 weeks of age and it has to be 4 shots at under 16 weeks old. I missed him terribly. I had a second Chihuahua. Her name is Emma Star. She is a Chocolate & Tan w/ White short-haired and weighted 4 pounds at a full grown. Emma Star gave a birth to three beautiful female puppies. I kept one of them and which is Tinkerbell, a Black & Tan w/ White long-haired and weighted 3 pounds. I gave Emma Star away to my aunt Jill. She fell in love with Emma Star. So I kept Tinkerbell because Tinkerbell has the last blood of Sam Sr. So I had to keep her to keep the gene of Sam Sr. Now I had Tinkerbell for two years. After that, I got more Chihuahuas and puppies to sell to good homes. I must say...it was great experience for me. I love to have Chihuahuas around in my life. I couldn't imagine to live without Chihuahuas. CAN YOU? I'm glad because my family loves Chihuahuas as much as I do. Plus, my girlfriend loves them too! However, I grew up with many different animals. I can only tell you that I absolutely love Chihuahua the most but I do like a Boxer, Great Dane, Rottweiler, Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, Pomeranian & Toy Poodle. My parent has a Rottweiler and her name is Xena. Yes she is a warrior to us. Xena protects our Chihuahuas as well. Xena is about 10 years old. We love to have her around with us. I'm thankful for those dogs that are part of my life. I love them to D E A T H!

Sorry about that! I didn't realize I was writing a long entry! So I hope you are enjoy by reading my story. That explains why I love Chihuahuas.

How dare you make such false and slanderous accusations about such a wonderful woman who has brought so much happiness to peoples lives!  What have you done!?  You lied to her, tried to cheat her and tried to defame her character.  She should SUE you for slander and defamation of character...do you even know what that means?  Probably not, so go educate yourself!

Chris Hansen is a WONDERFUL LOVING CARING BREEDER

AUTHOR: Happy Chi owner - (United States of America)

POSTED: Friday, July 23, 2010

I have bought two chihuahua puppies from Chris Hansen and she is the most forthright, honest and truly caring breeder I have ever met.  She only wants a good home for the puppies she breeds and her former website had literally thousands of testimonials from happy parents/owners of her puppies.  The two puppies I purchased were well adjusted and very healthy.  She not only gave me the CKC breeding papers but also had given them all their shots.  She was a breeder who did not breed for the money but she bred chihuahua puppies for the love and enjoyment of it.  Regardless of the disability of the person who wrote this horrible defamation and slanderous report, Im sure there are millions of hearing disabled people who can spell and use proper grammar.  To slander Ms. Hansen and berate her grammar when you cannot spell or use proper grammar either is absurd and you should be ashamed of yourself.  If you wanted a puppy that badly, dont do it on the internet, go to a store and pick one out that you can see.  Im sure that innocent puppy you cold heartedly rejected because of a bite issue only needed and wanted to be loved and you should be ashamed that you rejected it.  You dont deserve to own a puppy as you are obviously too immature or too stupid to handle the responsibility.  Shame shame shame on you!  I can attest that Chris Hansen was and is a loving caring chihuahua breeder who remains a dear friend and I know that no matter where I go or what happens, she will always be there for any of the people who adopted her beautiful healthy puppies!  And I will swear on a stack of bibles to this statement!

Very strange story!

AUTHOR: Jared Henderson - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, April 13, 2009

Hello everyone.

I have to say this story is very interesting to read! Ratherly strange but quite hilarious, though! George made a mistake to purchase the Chihuahua puppy from obvious a backyard breeder and he should have research about reputable breeders before purchasing a right one. Don't get me wrong but look at Chris' website and I personally believe she is a backyard breeder with no questions!

Chris loaded a lot of animals in her house. She seems to live in both areas of Florida and New York? That seem to be very odd. My point is, how can you provide a special attention to each of furbabies? 200 pets in a house? Please forgive me but it sounds like Chris is not married? She never mention anything about her husband on the website. Most of time, she commented about her two sons. I am very surprised at how she can really HANDLE these animals!! It's quite amazing. I'd love to stop by and take a look at her house. How she'd handle with many pets in her house. Plus, she stated that her mother has died. And then she had some illness problems. Yet, she is still selling overpriced Chihuahua puppies on her website.

I've read both side stories of George's and Chris'. George thought he is getting a perfect Chihuahua. He obviously was a kid. He didn't know what he was suppose to do. Nobody is perfect. Human being and accept the fact that we are not like Jesus. Chris- I am very curious what if your sons did something really wrong and will you still call them bad names like you did to George? In this situation- I'd give my power to laws to do something about it but calling bad names? I think it was very un-necessary, really. You are older and you were suppose to know what to do with bad situations. You cannot say I have many satifsted customers for 20 years but of course, every breeders should face some bad times. You shouldn't write too much on your website and it makes more suspection.

Taking personal pictures of George's is very highly not proper way to do it because it is WRONG to take the pictures without asking for the permission. How would you feel if someone took the pictures of your website's Chihuahuas without asking your permission? I am sure you will be tick off. Have you ever think about that? There is always risk in every detail situations. I'd have to be honest with you, Chris. You probably rip off a lot of buyers in the past. You might think you ran away with it but really, maybe George got you now. That is why you had to defend yourself and try to make a clean slate out of it. You wanted a revenge on him just because he was a kid and he made a mistake. He stole money and purchased a Chihuahua puppy off from you. Sure! That is bad but not a crime. Stealing a candy just because he wants it. Karma is going to be a payback for sure.

I personally believe that George was ripped off by Chris Hanson. Chris is selling a Chihuahua with defect genetic for $2,600.00 dollars and registered with CKC (you basically can register CKC with a mixed breed). CKC doesn't means anything. AKC is the true registry, end of discussion. Maybe that is why George was very upset when he found out about Murphy's overbite and not breeding quality. It is good thing that he decided to do the right thing by sending Murphy back to you. Maybe you gotcha to do the same thing. You should do the right thing. Poor these furbabies on your website. You have a health problem. You need to educate your older sons to get REAL jobs. Breeding Chihuahuas doesn't solve anything for you. Just because you thought you could make a lot of money out of breeding Chihuahuas while you have a health problem.

I disagree. Breeding Chihuahuas. Showing Chihuahuas. Offering health screen. Improving the lines for betterment type of AKC standard. Protect health guarantee plus against any defect genetic for 1 year or more. Always honest with buyers. You will never make a profit by breeding/selling them. You also mentioned on yourwebsite that you do rescue Chihuahuas/other dogs. It doesn't make a sense to me. You sell overpriced non-AKC Chihuahuas with defect genetics and yet, rescuing some dogs? It's so confusion on your website. I wonder if I should question your intelligent.

I am not on your side nor George's but stating my opinion out. It is very sad that you remain being immature about his situation. If you want to be smart about it. How to prevent that situations like George's? STOP BREEDING PET QUALITY CHIHUAHUAS. If you truly love Chihuahuas then you will do the right thing. Research more. Breed for the right reasons.

I also assumed a lot of Chris' buyers commented on this and against George's side. I feel pity on them because I believe all of them are Chris' ripped off buyers with no breeding experiences. They obviously purchased pet quality puppies from Chris. That is why they thought she is an excellent breeder. Only if they should compare Chris to other many reputable breeders. Her website is quite sick. It hurt my eyes when I read her website. Poor Emily. Poor Buttercup. Poor all of ponies. Poor every animals lived in her house. I cannot imagine if someone have 100 children in a house and couldn't give a proper special attention to each one. It's the same thing as with animals. I would bet a million dollars on this that Chris asked her favorite buyers to comment against George's. I haven't seen anyone who are on George's sides. It is because he probably don't want to deal with backyard breeders like Chris. It's good thing that he was a kid and I am sure he knows what to do with right breeders in the next time. He seems to be very brilliant.

Chris- don't get hatred on me. Like I said, an opinion is always opinion. What do you have to lose? NOTHING. :) All I am saying is that growing some balls and do something about your poor animals! ATTACKING ON A KID wasn't necessary, really. If someone is attacking on your kids and I am sure you will stand in every ways as much as you can. Even though, your kids may be wrong or not. You cannot just say oh my boys are perfect angels. They are nothing like George! Yeah right. :)

I hope George has learned his lesson from this.

False Accusation.

AUTHOR: Deelove327 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, August 07, 2008

I just bought two chihuahuas from Chris Hansen & First off I would like to say that your accusations are incorrect, I know this because I tried to get my daughter to purchase a dog from Chris, But she does not accept minors to purchase a Chihuahua without an adult present & with an okay of everyone else in the house including landlords. She is very strict about who see's her animals. She is very clean & educated with every aspect of her animals. She has always answered all my questions immidiately, Wether it be by phone or email, or even in the middle of the night; she has always been there. She is a wonderful dog breeder & I dont know who could seriously say something so untrue, & it is obvious that this is incorrect. Anyone person who has bought from her could tell you this.
Its funny that you judge her grammar, but what does that have to do with breeding dogs. Oh & by the way if you were that interested in picking a reputable breeder you would read everything on the site including the small print at the bottom of her website that says I make no apologies for my typing. Or something along the lines of that. Also, I have been to Chris' house plenty of times & I think that her chihuahuas are in perfect conditions they are bathed fed sheltered & happy dogs. & you speak of immature but how mature are you to bring heath problems into this. That has nothing to do with anything, as well as her breeding dogs. She takes very good care of all her animals & spends all days & nights caring for these animals thinking she can trust that they will end up in a good home. Apparently we have some good liars but like she said.. breeding teacup chihuahua's for thirty years you have to come across one crazy person.

hmnnn first ive heard of this seems suspicious and no names given either lol

AUTHOR: Chris - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, July 05, 2007

ok
this site has the right to post anything real or not ?
i have not replied to this sooner as i did not want to even give it the respect,or credability of lowering myself to reply , lol but here goes..
this site is allowing people to say anything false anything to defame a person with a perfect hard earned reputation.
George lee is a deaf guy from arizona , He contacted me a month after my mother died. I sold him a dog and shipped it to him . he owed money on it , swore he was not a breeder, promised to send the balance owed within a month .
never did and i paid paid 200 to ship to him.
months later i was never paid the money owed to me, i was looking at other websites and came upon a site selling my dog (the one thatwent to lee)
he was sellingit for 2600 , i emailed him as i hadnt sent his ckc papers due to the face he never gave me the baance for the dog nor the money i paid continental for shipping. We are talking now about 6 months after sale and shipping. I had accepted it as a loss until i found a site Lees little magic chihuahuas (since has been changed) , selling my dog. Ok so i contact him He calimed to be in his 20s by the way . he had paid me on paypal. i demanded the balance owed to me, and the shipping money , with that within 24 hours i got an email from paypal stating the 2,000 he sent me had been retracted due to an unauthorized paypal payment. So now im out the dog, who was handraised by me , the shipping money and other costs like tolls and paypal charged me for the fee.
SOOOO i disputed it with paypal however i lost due to the fact that the name on the paymnet was the girlfriends mother and she had not allowed the transaction.
i feel foolish even replying to this stupidity ,
Sooo i told LEe that if i dint get my money or the dog back hed be arrested asap.
i told him the police would knock at his door, and he wouldnt hear it because he was deaf,
fearing hed be arrested he went and stole the dog back from the girl who had purchased it from him (knowing full well it was stolen from me ) .
this girl contacted me and tried to make me help her to get the dog back.
She called the police and reported that LEe had broken into her home and stolen the dog back.
'after a few more threats of legal justice, lee shipped the dog back to me,as i had proof of his crime and he knew it full well .'
meantime i had posted about him on my site to alert other breeders as he had told me he was just a nice deaf kid who wanted a pet,
He was trying yto be a breeder, I recieved several emails from other breeders who had similar experience with this person. he is crazy and posted this ridiculous ripoof lie ,i have proof of everything i say.
ilove how he says i pretended tobe a man , i suppose when my Mother named me Chris it was preplanned lol
ok so now il rebutt the other post i just read, im a bit suspicious that it is also done by someone who knows lee, the reason for this is simple, i have not heard anything from this person, i am fair and honest and respectable and i have a conscious . I am a respected reputable person . breeding dogs for many years and have many vet refernces i can give. I to the best of my knowledge never sold my dogs to a vet teck from md, and if there was a problem why was i not notified Never , Seems to me if someone had such a trouble i would have heard something back from the client. Seems like maybe Lee is behind this one.
i have a great reputation and care very much where my dogs go . Should there have been a congenitalproblem witha pup i would have done the right thing however our dogs have had virtually no problems or any serious ones.
this site allows anyone to say anything, I have not wanted to give it credance by replying,
ripoff hasa button to sue them why , they post slander, obvious slander,
ridiculous unfair UNTRUE slander, this site proved to me how ridiculous these sites are how untrue and how they can be used for spite even by a thief like Lee perhaps its not too late to have him arrested for slander and burglary and grand theft. and fraud. perhaps i should have Lee arrested . As for this site how can you belive something that can be written or used as spite by anyone.
if you deal with the public for 30 years youre bound to run into NUTS .

Not so good, not s****.>

AUTHOR: S - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, May 20, 2007

Hello
I bought a chihuahua from Chris Hansen a few years ago and even though the dog is a beautiful, smart, and extremely kind chihuahua she has some congenital problems, ie. born with/ hereditary problems due to the breeding lineage.

As a veterinary student I have had acess to numerous veterinarians who are specialists and board certified in certain fields, and my dog has seen quite a few of them unfortunately.

As a puppy, right around the time she brought to the vet for her shots/spay/etc I also was told to bring her to a board certified ophthamologist, who diagnosed her with bilateral entropion. This means both her lower eyelids were curled up a bit and irritating her eyes by rubbing her corneas which caused excessive lacrimation, meaning she had lots of tears evident by LOTS of staining and she was a puppy! You could also tell she was very uncomfortable because she was constantly squinting. This procedure cost $600.
It's also rare to occur in chihuahuas but the cause of this is most likely hereditary.

Then, when she was about three years old she was diagnosed with Idopathic Congenital Epilepsy. She had her first seizure at the age of 2. She was never hypoglycemic as a puppy and was NOT hypoglycemic when she seized and anytime thereafter that she has seized. We saw a board certified veterinary neurologist at the Veterinary School's teaching hospital where I was attending as a Vet student. She had numerous tests, and evaluations done to find an infectious cause for the seizures that were occuring this multiple time around. She had an MRI scan of her brain, and even a tap into her spine to analyze the fluid.

All the results came back negative, leading to the conclusion that she was Epileptic and again another most likely hereditary condition. The cost for a student was discounted by 50%, but overall it cost $1,600 in diagnostics so for a non-student it would have cost over $3,000 and she needs mediation for life, which I have not started on her yet on the advice of my neurologist because she is still young and the seizing does not warrant it yet.

So, I am constantly worrying about her when she is left alone. Also, my chihuahua does not have the apple head as all the chihuahua babies on the site show recently. The dome head can actually have an increase in other CNS disorders but fortunately she does not have any of these other typical chihuahua problems, just again another rare one for chihuahuas, the epilepsy.

However, she does have the common chihuahua luxating patellas in both hindlegs, and so far has not needed surgery to repair them.

Another common chihuahua problem she has is reverse sneezing, and a collapsing trachea again no surgery has been needed for this but she was worked up for it by an Internal Medicine specialist because it has called for concern.

NOW THE MAJOR PROBLEM! She has recently been diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus. A condition very rare in dogs, and rare in chihuahuas. She had an extensive work up with an Internal Medicine board certified vet for the symptom that this diease causes which is drinking excessively, and peeing excessively. She drinks entire bowls full of water, and then pees out completely clear fluid every hour. This is a very terrible disease that has no cure and is treatable but most owners usually euthanize their pets because of the incontinence that begins to develop and can not afford to bring them to a specialized vet who can diagnose this. My dog is only 4 1/2 years old and now had an ultrasound of her kidneys, liver, and adrenals, and bladder to check for failure that could be causing this and she had tests done for

Cushing's Disease and bacterial cultures and analysis of her urine several times. And, note this disease is NOT diabetes melitis this is a different disease it has nothing to do with elevated blood sugar. Sadly, if she doesn't have constant acess to water she can dehydrate so rapidly she can go into a coma and die all because she can not concentrate her urine.

Her medication costs $130 for a 2.5ml bottle and this entire work up would have cost probably over $2,000 but again as a veterinary student I was alloted a discount for my pets. Now, how would she have gotten this? Again, it's most likely genetic. It's a problem with a part of the brain that sends out the hormone to be able to concentrate urine.

I would never ever trade in my chihuahua for the world because she is the most precious and wonderful dog. Luckily, I even bought her for about 3x less than these puppies that are listed on her site. Unfortuantely, for the many people that are now spending over 1,500-2,000 for a puppy and are actually believing that this is the best bred chihuahua you can buy for your money are highly mistaken. I have had 2 people very close to me recently buy dogs from her and even though those dogs are only 1 year old now I will be able to track their progress and see if they end up with significant problems as my chihuahua does if so then that will be a serious alarm.

So, I would be cautious on who you send your thousands to for a chihuahua puppy. I'm not sure many people realize that chihuahuas are overbred and usually end up in shelters, in fact I have a chihuahua who is extremely healthy that was dumped at a shelter and she is only 1/2lb larger than my CKC breeder bought chihuahua and she has the correct apple head.

So, please investigate breeders because as nice as Bedell's chihuahuas owner and dogs are they can have some fatal hereditary problems and I personally wouldn't want to spend thousands for such a puppy. Even though it will be making me plenty of profit as a vet I DO NOT WANT to see these poor chihuahuas being put to sleep because of a breeder who isn't aware of what problems she is breeding into her dogs, and she should most certainly claim her dogs as pets and not show dogs since some of the problems my dog had are actually disqualifications in show dogs, ie. entropion.

Hence, she should not be selling these puppies at such exuberant prices. Also, don't forget to check your shelters for the ones people have thrown away they need our help and chihuahua devotion.

I saw this on the internet and had to reply. I too purchased a chihuahua from Chris after doing EXTENSIVE research on breeders.

Chris is none of the thing these kids have claimed. We were so grateful to have found a reputable, responsible and conscientious breeder in an industry that is riddled with unethical people. As the other consumer has stated, she is never to busy to answer questions and does know more about this breed than many vets. She truly cares about each and every pup she has brought into this world.

Ironically, I remember Murphy before he was initially adopted. I saw him in person when I went to visit my own pup before she was ready to go home. Unlike many breeders, Chris looks at each pup individually to determine when it is safe to separate them from their mother or sibling and will not simply stamp on a basic 8 or 12 week timeframe.

Murphy was adorable but we did not want a male. Personally, I don't feel they should have been seeking a "pet" to breed (especially at their age) -- there ARE too many breeders out there just for the money but I can ASSURE anyone reading this -- Chris is not one of them.

I am a highly educated person and have never responded to something like this before, however I felt compelled as it is far to easy to tarnish a good reputation on today's internet.

Bedell's Chihuahua's are amazing and Chris is a wonderfully dedicated breeder in her business for all the right reasons. Keep up the good work Chris, who have brought joy to countless families.

Dear to George & Nataliya,

I just wanted to say thank you for warning abour Chris Hansen. I absolutely will not buy any puppies from Chris in the future. I will make sure to let my family and friends to know about this. And I want to say how sorry I am about your situation. There are many breeders that aren't into Chihuahuas for love but money only. It's really sad. Know what? I am very proud of you, George. You are a young kid but you just had a comeback about Chris Hansen. Chris is a immature older lady. She should knows better. I wish you and your lovely girlfriend a good luck!

God bless you,

Julia
