​

Paityn was born here at SFC and has recently retired from our breeding program. Due to needing an emergency c-section, we opted to have her spayed during her surgery. (We do not believe in continuing to breed a dog who has had a c-section. It puts too much stress on the uterus and risk for our dam.) She is up to date on all of her core vaccinations, including Rabies, and has been fully health tested—just like our breeding dogs. Her microchip is ready for transfer to a new home. 

This includes:
✔️ Genetic health testing via Embark (clear of all breed-relevant conditions)
✔️ OFA Certified:
– Patellas: Normal
– Heart: Clear of murmur
– Eyes: Certified by an ophthalmologist

You can verify her health clearances on the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) database.

🐾 Paityn's Personality & Training

Paityn is a very sweet, gentle soul with a calm nature. She is:

• Pee pad trained

• Dog door trained

• Pen & crate trained

• NOT currently leash trained

She enjoys the company of other Chihuahuas, loves warm blankets and laundry, and can often be found sunbathing or laying in warm linens fresh out of the dryer. She adores toys, chewies, water play, and is eager to please her special human. She gets along with all family members. She will take time to settle in, but once settled she is a very, very affectionate girl and does seek out attention and wants to join you on the couch and bed. She gives tons of kisses. She loves to do the begging position and is treat motivated which will help! Paityn is a really charming young retiree and will really be a great companion to any household, whether you want a new velcro dog or a family dog, she can be either. 

🏠 What She’s Looking For

Paityn would thrive in a home:

• With other dogs (including larger breeds) or a single dog home

• That may include cats

• Willing to be patient while she adjusts

Potty Training Disclaimer:
While she is potty trained here, we cannot guarantee she will be in a new environment. Like all of our rehomed adults, we recommend being open-minded and ready to reintroduce her to a new routine.

Please also read our post below on the 3-3-3 Rule—it helps outline what to expect during a dog’s transition period.
