Coolballow Chihuahuas & Xoloitzcuintli

About Us

Welcome!

We are a small show kennel located in beautiful Western NY. 25 years ago we started our journey in the dog fancy with our beloved breed, the Chihuahua. Our breeding program includes both cost types and many different colours/patterns, however our main focus is on a correct and typey Chihuahua that is sound in both mind and body. We health test all breeding prospects/show prospects and each puppy born here has their preliminary health screenings completed as well.
Our secondary breed is the sister breed to the Chihuahua - the Xoloitzcuintli. A few representatives of this breed share our home and hearts. We focus solely on Toy & Miniature in both Hairless & Coated varieties.
Please enjoy your visit to our site and check back often as we continue to build and update it!

Breed Education

We are dedicated not only to our individual dogs but to breed education as well. You will often find Jen running a Meet the Breed event booth or working on breed research for her position as the Chihuahua Club of America Breed Historian. You will usually find her speaking with veteran breeders & exhibitors after she is done showing our dogs for the day, always excited to hear stories of the past that can be shared with future breeders and exhibitors.

Exhibiting at Dog Shows

Jon & his partner Mitchell handle dogs professionally and work to exhibit our dogs in addition to their client dogs. If you meet Jon at a show he is always happy to answer questions about our breed! He has a great passion for pedigree research and is always a fantastic resource on canine structure, grooming, and handling the dogs.
