A BREEDERS LIFE.........
A Breeder (with a capital B) is one who thirsts for knowledge and never really knows it all, one who wrestles with decisions of conscience, convenience, and commitment. One that shares this knowledge and guides those interested.
A Breeder is one who sacrifices personal interests, finances, time, friendships, fancy furniture, and deep pile carpeting! She gives up the dreams of a long luxurious cruise in favour of turning that all important show into this year's "vacation".
The Breeder goes without sleep in hours spent planning a breeding or watching anxiously over the birth process, and afterwards, over every little wiggle or cry.
The Breeder skips dinner parties because that litter is due or the babies have to be fed at eight. She disregards birth fluids and puts mouth to mouth, to save a gasping newborn, literally blowing life into a tiny helpless creature that may be the culmination of a lifetime of dreams.
A Breeder's lap is a marvellous place where dogs of proud and noble heritage often snooze.
A Breeder's hands are strong and firm and often soiled, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a puppy's wet nose.
A Breeder's back and knees are usually arthritic from bending and sitting in the whelping box, but are strong enough to guide that new little pup to maturity.
A Breeder's shoulders are often heaped with responsibility, but they're wide enough to support the weight of a thousand defeats and frustrations.
A Breeder's arms are always able to wield a mop, support an armful of puppies, or lend a helping hand to a newcomer.
A Breeder's ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from being talked about), or strangely shaped (from being pressed against a phone receiver). Often deaf to criticism, yet always fine tuned to the whimper of an anxious puppy.
A Breeder's brain is foggy on faces, but can recall pedigrees faster than an IBM computer.
The Breeder's heart is often broken, but it beats strongly with hope everlasting.......and it's always in the right place! Oh, yes, there are breeders, and then, there are Breeders!!!

The first of are family is me, my name is Valerie Haber. I am 26 years old. I have had a passion for animals all my life, and what better than to be able to bring the joy of owning a chi into someone's life. As a child I bred rabbits and hamsters and had more little critters around me than you could count. I probably had at least one of every animal growing up, from salamanders to hedgehogs, pidgins , crows and many more. I also organize the Calgary chihuahua play group which is a great way for me to keep in touch with local pups and is a great tool for socializing. Its so much fun. Mike
The second member is my husband Mike Haber. He is 30 and is just as crazy about animals as I am, which is a great thing for me. He keeps us grounded and is always good for a laugh. He is there for every birth and is my right hand man. I really couldn't do it without him. We have lost many nights sleep together.
And the family
My fur members include 7 dogs. We have a Great Dane named Pepper who is 3, Pit bull named Diva who is 3 and 5 chihuahuas, Chachi , Chichi, Candy, and Casha and Kyann. Then we have 2 cats named Kiwi and Mango they are 10 years and were my first members of my family when I left home and last but not least we have a chameleon named Gino who is a stunning male and his new girlfriend named J-low. Its a full home but full of love. See photo page to see the whole family.
