My first Chihuahua came from Mexico in the mid 1950’s.  While vacationing there, a cousin came upon the cutest puppy and bought it for my father.  I was very young and she soon became my best friend.  Her name was “Chickie”, I remember dressing her in dolls’ clothes.  Wow, did she have a lot of patience, what a great dog!  Chickie lived seventeen years under dad’s great care. 

My favorite saying is THINGS CHANGE, but sometimes that takes time.  Take Chihuahuas — we now see an evolution in breed type. Working with those changes while keeping what’s good is key!  You’ve found us whenever you see our signature girl “Fanny”, for she’s a New York Chihuahua!

 

 

My name is Grace Sette.  I live with my husband and family on beautiful Long Island, near the Queens, NYC border.  Much of my adult life was spent without Chihuahuas.  As fate would have it, early in 2003 I found the little ones for the second time around!  With my new puppy “Chiquita”, I quickly learned the Chihuahua had taken on a new look!
