🐶 About Delilah

Delilah was born and raised at Salem’s Finest Chihuahuas. She is a 5th-generation SFC girl—we originally held her back to retain our lines after her dam (Savvi) retired early. Her sire is our retired stud, Dallas.

Due to recent changes, we are now offering Delilah to either:
– A pet home committed to spaying within 120 days
– Or a small, in-home breeder (with approved application only)

💕 Personality & Training

Delilah is incredibly outgoing, sweet, and affectionate. She thrives around people and other dogs and would do well in a home that gives her time, love, and patience.

She is:

• Potty pad trained

• Dog door trained (goes outside to potty)

• Treat motivated

• Crate trained

• A minimal barker

• Not leash trained yet

• Easy to groom and trim nails

• Docile and social with both men and women

• Has not been exposed to small children, large dogs, or cats

• Gets slight motion sickness in the car

She will likely need potty training reinforcement in a new environment, especially during her adjustment phase. Most dogs improve quickly once altered and removed from a breeding setting, but accidents are to be expected in the beginning.

🏡 Home Requirements

For Pet Homes:

• Spay must be completed within 120 days of adoption

• Please be patient with the transition process—Delilah will need time to adjust using the 3-3-3 rule

For Breeding Homes:

• Must be a small in-home program only

• Responsible for AKC ownership transfer and $35 fee

• Fun breeder note: Delilah is a potential breeding match for Gizmo 

📦 Adoption Process

• Application required for all homes

• Meet & greets available after pre-approval
  (Held on our puppy pickup dates, Tues–Fri)

• Shipping available (at adopter’s expense; return shipping is also your responsibility if the placement doesn’t work out)

Delilah is a sweet, loyal girl looking for the right person or family to call her own. Whether you're hoping for a loving companion or looking to add to your small breeding program, Delilah brings genetics, temperament, and beauty to the table.
