Chihuahua Puppies for Sale in Minnesota
We are Twin Cities Chihuahuas, a family that breeds only Chihuahuas, and our puppies grow up in our home in Minneapolis. They go home to Rochester apartments, Iron Range farmhouses and lake places near Brainerd. Most Minnesota families drive over and collect; the far north can meet one of us at the airport instead.

Chihuahuas for sale in MN
Chihuahuas for Sale in MN: How Far Is Our Minneapolis Home?
Minnesota is a long state. A family in Mankato can collect a puppy over a long lunch break, while a family in International Falls faces most of a day on the road each way.
The times in the table are approximate, for dry roads and ordinary traffic. Add a third in January. For the far north, one of us can fly with the puppy in the airplane cabin from MSP to a regional airport that has a flight from Minneapolis, and hand it to you in person. Schedules to the smaller airports change, so we check the route with you first. We never ship a puppy as cargo.
| Where you live | Approximate drive | What we usually suggest |
|---|---|---|
| St. Cloud | About 1 hour 10 minutes | Pickup, no stop needed |
| Mankato | About 1 hour 20 minutes | Pickup |
| Rochester | About 1 hour 30 minutes | Pickup |
| Winona | About 2 hours 15 minutes | Pickup, one short stop |
| Brainerd and the lakes | About 2 hours 15 minutes | Pickup, one short stop |
| Duluth | About 2 hours 30 minutes | Pickup, or the cabin flight in deep winter |
| Marshall and Worthington | About 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours | Midday pickup, home before dark |
| Moorhead | About 3 hours 30 minutes | Pickup, two people in the car |
| Bemidji | About 3 hours 45 minutes | Drive in good weather, fly otherwise |
| International Falls and Grand Marais | About 4 hours 15 minutes to 5 hours | Ask us about flying or an overnight |
Region by region
Chihuahua Puppies Across Minnesota's Regions
Every part of the state brings its own small differences for a puppy this size: wind on the southern prairie, lake air up north, salt on every city sidewalk. Here is where our families live, and what we tell each of them.
Twin Cities and Nearby
- Chihuahua puppies in St. Paul
- Bloomington, Eagan, Maple Grove and Woodbury: an easy morning pickup
- St. Cloud and Monticello: an hour or so up the road
Southern Minnesota
- Rochester, Owatonna and Faribault: a straight run north, under two hours
- Mankato and New Ulm: open prairie, so a coat before every winter walk
- Winona and the river towns: bluff roads that ice early
Northern Minnesota
- Duluth and the North Shore: wind off Lake Superior, indoor pads all winter
- Brainerd, Bemidji and the lakes: plan the first cabin trip for week three
- Hibbing, Virginia and the Iron Range: long sub-zero stretches

Two rules we keep
Minnesota Weather, Lake Cabins and a Two Pound Puppy
January Decides the Pickup Date
Every Minnesotan knows it: a drive from Duluth that takes two and a half hours in June can take five in blowing snow, and rural two-lane highways at dusk bring deer as well as ice. Our rule is simple. If either of us does not like the forecast for your route, the pickup moves. Nobody loses their puppy over a snowstorm.
Weather also shapes the first months at home. North of Brainerd, a run of days below zero is normal. Set up an indoor potty spot with pads before the first cold snap and keep outings to a minute or two. Our winter care guide for Minnesota Chihuahuas covers coats, salt and how cold is too cold.
Skip the Cabin for Two Weeks
This is the mistake we see most from Minnesota families in summer. They collect a puppy on Friday and head straight up north for the weekend. Please do not. A puppy that has just left its litter needs the same room, the same bed and the same meal times for its first two weeks, plus a vet visit.
Add a long drive, a new building, a dock and the neighbor's Lab, and you have a stressed puppy that skips meals. Small Chihuahuas cannot afford to skip meals; our guide to low blood sugar in Chihuahua puppies explains why. Plan the first cabin weekend for week three.
Chihuahua breeders in Minnesota
Chihuahua Breeders in Minnesota: What to Ask Any of Us
Minnesota licenses commercial dog breeders above a set number of breeding dogs and litters through the Board of Animal Health. That license tells you a kennel is inspected. It does not tell you how puppies are raised. These are the answers you should get from any breeder, and the ones you get from us:
- 1Where the puppies sleep: in our home, in a pen a few steps from the kitchen, and you can see it by appointment.
- 2How often they are weighed: every morning on a gram scale, and the log goes home with your puppy.
- 3Whether we resell: never. We breed Chihuahuas only, and every puppy we place was born here.
- 4What comes home: a vet check, vaccines for age, deworming, a microchip and AKC registration papers.
- 5What is in writing: a 1-year genetic health guarantee, plus starter food, Nutri-Cal or glucose gel and a litter blanket.
Puppies go home at 8 to 10 weeks. Teacup size puppies, projected at 3 to 4 lbs as adults, usually stay with us until 10 to 12 weeks, until they eat confidently on their own. For a family facing a three hour drive from Bemidji or Worthington, those extra weeks matter more than anything else on this list. You can read more about our Minneapolis Chihuahua breeding program on our home page.

Getting started
From Application to Your Minnesota Front Door
Dog licenses and rabies rules in Minnesota are set mostly by cities and counties, so Rochester, Duluth and a township near Bemidji all differ. Your puppy will be too young for its rabies vaccine at pickup; ask your vet when it is due, then check your city's rules.
- ApplySend the free adoption application and tell us which part of Minnesota you live in.
- We talkWe read every application ourselves and contact you within 24 hours.
- Pick a dayWe choose a pickup date with the forecast in mind, or book the flight for the far north.
- Drive homePuppy fed, carrier buckled in, gel in your pocket, one stop on any trip over two hours.
Minnesota Families Ask Us
Where can I find chihuahuas for sale in Minnesota?
Start with breeders you can visit. We raise Chihuahua puppies in our home in Minneapolis, and most of the state can reach us in a day. Our current puppies are listed on the puppies page with age and projected adult size. Be cautious with any Minnesota listing that refuses a visit and only offers shipping.
Are there chihuahua breeders in Minnesota who raise puppies at home?
Yes. We are one: every litter we raise is born in our Minneapolis home, and the puppies sleep a few steps from our kitchen. When you compare Minnesota breeders, ask to see the room where the litter lives, not just photos, and ask how often the puppies are weighed.
How much are Chihuahua puppies in Minnesota?
Every puppy we raise is $700. Teacup size or toy size, long coat or smooth, male or female, the price is the same. It includes the vet check, vaccines for age, deworming, microchip, registration papers and the written genetic health guarantee. Be wary of Minnesota listings far below that which will not let you visit.
Is it safe to pick up a Chihuahua puppy in a Minnesota winter?
Yes, with planning. Warm the car before you load the puppy, bring a covered carrier and a towel, and carry the puppy from our door straight to the car. If the forecast shows a storm or ice on your route, we move the pickup date. A few days of waiting does a puppy no harm at all.
Can I take my new puppy to the cabin right away?
We suggest waiting about two weeks. A new Chihuahua needs a steady routine, a vet visit and a few days of eating well before it handles a three hour drive and a strange building. Lake water, docks, bigger dogs and wildlife are also real hazards for a two to four pound puppy.
