Beautiful Beginning-Bright Future

The first litter of Belleza puppies were whelped in our home on December 1, 1997. That is the day Spice (Dartan Sugar and Spice) gave birth to the Spice Girls, Posh & Sporty -- two very sweet, very adorable smoothcoat girls sired by Ch. Dartan's Grand Slam.

The next few years saw two more foundation girls bring some terrific puppies into the world. Vicky (Ch Dartan's Miss Vicky), Gypsy (Charming Chi's Gypsy) and Spice were the Chihuahua matrons who produced the puppies that eventually became the cornerstone of our breeding program. Since then we have been blessed with our own wonderful dams in addition to those terrific beauties that came here from the homes of notable Chihuahua breeders such as Davlyn, Island, and Maestro.

We also want to mention that since the beginning of the Belleza Breeding Program we have relied on the excellent veterinary services provided by the staff at the Steamboat Animal Hospital. In particular, Dr. Murphy and Dr. Martin have given our Chihuahuas outstanding veterinary care and support and for that we are most appreciative.
