Can we come visit your dogs and puppies?
Due to the safety of our dogs and puppies and the fact we raise our babies in our private home, we will only be allowing it with a appointment time booked by us and at our convenience only.
Can I pick out my puppy when his/her personaility has developed?
Yes you can, but we will not hold any puppies for you while you wait to see the personality or characteristics of a certain puppy. Occasionally we will have pups that do not get chosen right away and they will have time to grow and mature. These pups would be the ones you would want to watch out for.
We sell our puppies all over the United States and we sell our puppies out of photographs and videos that we post on our page and website.
We apologize for any convience this may cause you, but this is how our program is operated. Most of our fur babies are purchased sight unseen and then shipped to us and we love them all and are completely satisfied.
How much are your puppies?
Our puppies are $3000-$6000. Our itty bitty puppies are priced higher due to the amount of additional work that they require. We do not breed for tinies, they tend to happen in some litters they are also known as the runt.
What can you tell me about "Litter mate Syndrome" or adopting two puppies close in age?
Litter mate syndrome is a real issue for most dog breeds, but I truly do not believe that is a issue in a breed that loves the company of their own breed.
Chihuahuas do great in pairs or small groups. I have families that get one from us and end up coming back ready to add another one.
Do you offer full breeding rights with your puppies?
Whether or not we will offer a puppy with breeding rights all depends on if the puppy is considered breeding quality, and if we feel as though the potential owner is a responsible breeder and has the right intentions in mind for our pups. Otherwise, all puppies are sold as pet companion only and generally will come with registration papers after proof of spay or neuter has been submitted to us. We will offer limited registration on all litters.
**Always feel free to discuss it with us if you're interested in purchasing a dog with breeding rights**
Do you offer any guarantees?
Yes. Your puppy comes with a health certificate that ensures that the puppy is in a healthy condition while it is present at Sasha's Elite. The exam verifies that the puppy is free and clear of any health problems. Once the puppy is in your possession, you are responsible to take your puppy to the vet within 72 hours or within 3 business days. If your vet concludes that the puppy/dog has a genetic medical defect, you must provide the vets paperwork within 48 hours of the visit to Sasha's Elite. If the issue is considered conclusively genetic, we will offer a replacement puppy of similar value out of our next available litter. If for any reason your puppy does have a genetic defect that was missed in the initial examination, and you would like to have the puppy replaced with a new puppy from a different litter, the original puppy will need to be returned to us. We only offer refunds if the puppy becomes gravely ill or dies while in our care. Or we can transfer the funds that were paid for said puppy, to an upcoming puppy in future litters. Our puppies are not all priced the same, so prices will vary from liter to liter. You are responsible for transporting the puppy back to SEK if you need to return him/her for any reason.
What is included with my new puppy?
All our puppies are given parasite prevention (dewormer) at 2,4,6 and 8 weeks of age. All puppies will receive their first set of shots at the very least, possibly two sets depending on the circumstances. All puppies will be microchipped before leaving our care and registered in our name and you will be responsible to add your name to the registration of the microchip. Each puppy will receive a container of puppy food that your puppy has been introduced to. We recommend that you either purchase the same brand (Instinct Rawboost Puppy formula) or mix in the amount we provided to you with the dog brand that you have decided on. Your puppy will also come with a health certificate done by our vet that ensures that the puppy is healthy and clear of any genetic defects. This certificate is issued when the puppy is around 7 weeks of age. We provide a puppy shot record that you can take to your vet to show the dates of when the vaccinations were provided to your puppy. Each puppy comes with a 30 day pet insurance. We also provide lifetime breeder support, you can always call, email or facebook us to ask about anything dog related. (Our tiny babies who require additional care at SEK over and beyond our typical 9-10 weeks of puppy rearing, do not get microchip implanted due to their fragility. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.)
Do you work on any training with the puppies before they leave?
Absolutely!! We start with introducing them to a variety of different noises and experiences. We work on potty training with the introductions of Fake grass or pee-pads. Our puppies are also socialized very well with children, other adults and other dogs, that live in our home and are fully vaccinated. Our goal is to make the puppy's transition from our home to your home as easy as possible.
Can we give our puppy back at any time if things don't work out?
YES!! We encourage all our buyers to give us back our dogs no matter how old or the circumstances so that we can re-home them with our strategic screening policy. We do not want to see any of our beloved puppies at any age end up in a shelter. Please contact us at any time to arrange for a surrender option. Please note that Sasha's Elite does not buy the dogs back. We only offer a safe haven for our bloodlines and in a way will open our home back up as a rescue if need be. We will relist the dog/puppy for sale, and any monies collected, minus a vet check and advertising fees, will be granted back to you. We hope that you do not have to surrender your pet, but we understand that sometimes unforeseeable things happen. Please contact us.
