- We are looking for a loving, forever family home for our 5 month old, beautiful 'Luna' and presly, chihuahua pupsl.They are all full enthusiasm, playfulness, are loving and affectionate. They have a great personality and love attention! they were imported from Lamma Islands, completely house trained, crate trained and sleeps through the night and are currently being lead trained. they are through their teething phase and are fully vaccinated for the next year and are licensed . We will only let them go to a loving family who will care for them with a big heart. they are great around children, adults and other dogs. It would be beneficial if you have outdoor space/garden near by for them to run free and you must be knowledgeable and prepared to care for puppies, in particular this very gentle breed. Due to lack of free time as my company gained a market in the construction of 3 football field i will be busy for quite some years.
- Interested, more information and pics

- Looking for an apple head Chihuahua for my grandmother she just needs a lap dog to spoil
- Last year on September 11, 2016, I lost my best friend. She was gifted to me at a time I needed her most when I took iIl. Her name was Angel. She love to cuddle, to be carried and sit on my shoulder ( hence how she got her name). I can't seem to get past her lost. I believe having another like her would help fill the void. She had long blond hair weighing in at 5 lb. and lived 17 years. If you have any small long hair chihuahua you can not take care of I would be honoured to take the dog and would give all the care the dog could need. I need the dog to be small and around the 5-6 lb. range so to be light to carry. I live in Chatham, Ontario. Thank you.😇

Common Name(s) English Setter, Laverack, Llewellin Setter
Breed Type The English Setter is a sporting breed known for its endurance. They are most commonly used as bird dogs.
Background The English Setter is believed to have originated over 400 years ago. Its lineage may have included the Spanish Pointer, Water Spaniel, and Springer Spaniel. The breed was first shown in 1859.
Description The English Setter is white, speckled with blue, lemon, orange, or brown. Its hair is silky and long. The muzzle is fairly long and square, the eyes large and hazel, and the ears long. The English Setter's tail is long and fringed. Males measure 24-27 inches tall and weigh 55-80 pounds. Females are 23-26 inches tall and weigh 45-70 pounds.
Care and Feeding English Setters need logs of carbohydrates and fiber, and low protein in their diets. The best foods contain poultry, lamb and brown rice. They are prone to weight gain, so it is important not to overfeed. English Setters should be combed and brushed regularly, and bathed only when needed. Feet need special attention, including trimming the bottoms of them and clipping nails as needed.
English Setters need regular checkups. Vaccinations are due as follows:
- 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
- 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
- 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
- Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
This breed sheds moderately. Regular vacuuming is necessary if kept inside.
Housing Your Dog The English Setter is best suited to outdoor living. If kept indoors, it is crucial to let them out to play regularly.
Social Behaviors English Setters are great with children, and they enjoy having other dogs around to play with. They also need plenty of human companionship.
Handling and Training The English Setter is a strong-willed breed, so training should be started early for best results. Housebreaking may be difficult.
Activities English Setters need plenty of exercise, including a daily walk and plenty of time to play outdoors.
Breeding/Reproduction This breed is not very prone to genetic disorders. When selecting a mate, the main things to look for in the bloodline are hip and elbow dysplasia, deafness, and hyperthyroidism.
Common Health Problems Female English Setters sometimes have false pregnancies. Joint problems and obesity are common ailments. Both of these can potentially be prevented by carefully monitoring your dog's weight.
Availability English Setters may be difficult to find in some areas, but can be located online. Prices usually run between $400 and $800.
