Background: Drexel was born and raised here at SFC. He is a 5th generation of our program lines. He recently retired from our program. He comes to you neutered and fully health tested and young so he can live a long life with his new forever family! He is a double long coat black fawn brindle. He has a very short muzzle and is a very beautiful little male Chihuahua. He does well with all of our dogs. He is pee pad trained and dog door trained. We use bellybands on our males in our house and we recommend using them as well, especially at first. Drexel does get motion sickness in the car. Drexel is extremely outgoing and loves dogs, people and toys. He is treat motivated which is a plus for training! He is not leash trained. He does enjoy being held on the couch or in your arms. He will do great in a home with or without small children. His health testing links above do work for viewing. He has had his eyes, heart and patellas (knees) all cleared by the OFA. We have opted to retire Drexel from our breeding program because he couldn't figure out how to breed with our females. We had very few females we could breed him to due to how many dogs are related to him. We felt it was best to neuter him and let him enjoy his life in a pet home. He is so outgoing, happy go lucky and would make an awesome companion. Please consider our Drex for your home. You will love him.
Because he is coming from a breeding environment, we encourage you to have patience and retrain him to a new routine. He eats Purina ProPlan and loves it. He is crate trained. We require that you will keep in touch with us if you want to adopt him. It generally takes 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn a new routine, and 3 months to start to feel at home. We do require that you submit a puppy application for consideration.
We encourage all prospective adopters to really think this through and not take on a dog that may not work for you. We want his next home to be his forever home. To submit an application for Drexel please use our puppy application for consideration.
