Glad you dropped in!

At Jem Chihuahuas we strive to produce the most mentally and physically sound puppies possible. We strive to produce Chihuahuas that fall within the AKC Standard of the Chihuahua breed.

We are a small hobby breeder located in Joliet, Illinois, and only have a limited number of litters per year. We breed for ourselves first and foremost. We breed for the ultimate love, and betterment of the Chihuahua breed. We are VERY selective in our breeding process, and in the homes in which we place our Chihuahuas.

If we have dogs available, they are placed in their new homes with a strict General Terms-Spay/Neuter Contract (if not already spayed/neutered,) and also a Health Guarantee. We place our Chi's in qualified homes ONLY after careful consideration of the adopting party, and the new environment in which they will live. We take these measures to ensure that our Chihuahuas will be much loved and well taken care of.

The Chihuahua is a breed like no other. A breed that you must be willing to continuously learn about, and care for well. While they are a sturdy little breed, there are some commonalities of the breed that do not apply to other breeds. Before deciding if the Chihuahua is the dog for you, it is best to study the breed a bit. You can find some useful information here on my web site, but don't stop here! Keep studying until you're sure that the Chihuahua is the breed for you!

The Chi LIVES to LOVE YOU! If you decide to adopt or purchase a Chihuahua, he or she will be a companion that you will surely love and treasure in return. Keep in mind though that the Chihuahua is a dog that THRIVES on and desperately wants and needs your love and attention. If you can not give a Chihuahua sufficient time, care, and love, this is NOT the breed for you.

SO! With all that said...if you find that you are interested further in information about one of our Chihuahuas, please send an email with Subject line reading "Request for Adoption Application" to AlphaChic@JemChihuahuas.com and we will email you our Adoption Application. Please fully complete and return the application and we will then consider you for placement of one of our dogs.

I look forward to hearing from you!
