🐶 About Quincy
Quincy is a young retired male born and raised at SFC, and he’s ready to bring joy and companionship to the right family or individual. He’s a handsome smooth coat Chihuahua with beautiful blue and tan Merle markings. Quincy is a happy go lucky kind of guy. He might be shy at first due to the changes, but he should warm up quickly and be a great friend and companion. Quincy is one of those special dogs who never seems to meet a stranger. His tail is always wagging, and he approaches life with a happy-go-lucky attitude that makes him a joy to be around. Whether he's greeting familiar friend or meeting someone for the first time, Quincy is always eager to share his affection and charm. Throughout his time in our breeding program, Quincy has been an exceptional representative of the Chihuahua breed. He has produced beautiful puppies who have inherited his sweet temperament, outgoing personality, and love for people. We are incredibly proud of the contribution he has made to our program and the families who now cherish his offspring. Quincy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys being part of a group. He is social, confident, and thrives in the company of both canine and human companions. Because of his friendly nature, he would do well in a home with another dog, but he would also be perfectly content soaking up all the attention as an only dog. Now that Quincy is retiring from our program, he is looking for a forever family of his own where he can enjoy the next chapter of life as a beloved companion. He deserves a home where he can spend his days being spoiled, loved, and included in everyday activities. If you're looking for a happy, affectionate little dog who loves people, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is always ready to brighten your day, Quincy may be exactly the companion you've been searching for.
He is:
-
Pee pad and dog door trained
-
Crate trained
-
Treat-motivated
-
Good with other dogs and people
-
Slightly shy at first but turns into a funny, charming character once comfortable
-
A great option for someone wanting to skip the puppy stages
-
Fed Purina Pro Plan, which he enjoys
🏡 Ideal Home
Quincy would thrive with a person or family who:
-
Can provide patience and structure while he adjusts
-
Understands the 3-3-3 Rule for dog adjustment (3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn, 3 months to settle)
-
Is open to reintroducing potty training in a new environment
-
Wants a young adult dog with training foundations in place
📌 Note: Quincy is from a breeding home and will need some time and consistency to fully transition to a new routine.
