Luigino

Chiquante Say The Magic Word - "Luigino"

I had seen a picture of our little boy Luigino - "Chiquante Say The Magic Word" when he was about two weeks old. Thinking he was way out of my reach, I contacted Angelique to ask about him anyhow. She said he was still available! I then reluctantly told her that I am located in Johannesburg (thinking that I would'nt be able to have him flown down with the possible costs and red-tape). Angelique immediately re-assured me that she could fly him down safely at a minimal cost at the age of eight weeks should I be interested. Angelique did not delay one second in sending me all the info, requirements and pictures. After a short family meeting, I paid our deposit into Angeliques account and Luigino was on hold for our family. In the interim, Angelique e-mailed all the paper work (purchase agreement and questionare) for me to complete. I find all documentation professional and all in the best interest of the puppy (which I greatly admire). Every week, Angelique would send pictures of our little bundle of joy with an update of how he's doing and his temperament. I nagged her endlessly with questions and info. My husband and I even voiced our concern about purchasing a puppy long-distance as we had never done this before and there are so many scammers out there. Angelique consistently took it all in her stride, giving us all her breeder details, no's etc. She even offered to give us the contact details of previous buyers should we wish to contact them! Never once did she get annoyed or take offense at our questions. She remained consistently friendly,warm and professional at all times. Two weeks before Gino's arrival, I noticed that his tiny mommy, "Velvet Rose", was also looking to be homed.

You know what they say about Chihuahuas, they're like potato chips, one just isn't enough! My son opted to adopt her and once again, Angelique was on top of things, sending paper work etc and making sure her little precious girl would be in great hands. Wow! Now we were not only awaiting the arrival of the most adorable little long-coated baby boy, but also the most beautiful young lady, his mommy, Velvet! It also worked out great, because they would fly together (along with another puppy), which is so much less stressful on the pups. Angelique arranged the flight from her side and kept us up-to-date every step of the way. On June the 29th, our precious living cargo arrived at OR Tambo, safe and in good spirits. Angelique did not cease to sms us right until the very moment we were proudly holding our beautiful babies in our arms! Along with our babies, we received puppy packs with the most beautiful blankets (really good quality ones), toys, food, and all paperwork as well as health certificates, vet cards etc. Angelique definitely goes more than the extra mile (punn intended), to ensure that the puppies are happy, healthy, and completely pre-spoiled and well socialised. Our little boy knew his name before I even met him face to face as we had communicated his name to Angelique. Adding everything up, all in all, there is absolutely NO WAY Angelique could possibly have made any profit out of selling us Gino and Velvet, Velvet is fully vetted, spayed, chipped etc. And shipping them to us. It is quite obvious that she truly only cares about the welfare and well-being of her babies and she is definitely committed to them for life. Angelique continues to stay in touch, asking about them, giving advice and just giving overall support. Our home and lives have become a warmer, wealthier place since Gino and Velvet arrived and we cannot imagine our lives without them! I personally recommend Angelique and Chiquante Chihuahua's to anyone looking to add a gem to their home and wouldn't hesitate to do so in writing. If you want open, honest and easy dealings with the most gorgeous Chihuahuas to boot, then don't hesitate, contact Angelique, even if it means being on her waiting list, it's so worth it! Angelique puts her puppies first, but her puppies' forever homes come in close second. I felt like the most important puppy buyer through her kindness and patients
