🐶 About Sabreena
If happiness could be wrapped up into one little Chihuahua, it would be Sabreena. Sabreena is a young adult female retiring from our breeding program and looking for a family of her own. Weighing approximately 9 pounds, she is a sturdy, well-built girl with a heart that is every bit as big as her personality. This sweet girl genuinely loves life. She wakes up every day excited to see what adventures await her, and her tail is almost always wagging. Sabreena is one of the friendliest dogs you'll ever meet. She adores people, enjoys making new friends, and seems to wear a permanent smile on her face. Her joyful spirit is contagious, and she has a way of brightening the day of everyone she meets. Sabreena is an active girl who loves to run, play, and explore. She enjoys romping around with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine companion to play with. At the same time, she is perfectly happy entertaining herself with a favorite toy or chewing on a good bone. She has a wonderful balance of independence and companionship that makes her easy to live with. When playtime is over, Sabreena transforms into an expert cuddler. One of her favorite places to be is curled up beside her people on the couch, soaking up affection and enjoying quiet time together. She is the type of dog who wants to be part of the family and included in everyday life. Sabreena would make an exceptional companion for someone looking to skip the puppy stage and enjoy all the benefits of a young adult dog. She has matured into a confident, loving, social girl who is ready to settle into her forever home. Her new family will get to enjoy her wonderful personality without the sleepless nights, potty training, and puppy antics that come with raising a baby. Finding the right home for Sabreena is incredibly important to us because she deserves nothing less than a family who will cherish her as much as we do. She has given so much to our program, and now it is her turn to be spoiled, loved, and celebrated as someone's beloved companion. If you're looking for a happy, affectionate, easygoing Chihuahua with a heart of gold and a smile that never quits, Sabreena may be exactly the dog you've been waiting for.
– A pet home committed to spaying within 120 days
– Or a small, in-home breeder (with approved application only, Full AKC is an additional fee plus transfer of paperwork)
💕 Personality & Training
Sabreena 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
-
She has been exposed to small children, but not 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.
