Hello and welcome to my page Moonathena Puppies.

If you'r looking for smooth coat Chihuahua puppies, long coat Chihuahua puppies and Pug puppies for sale and you live in Essex, you have come to the right place.

At home in Burnham On Crouch, Essex, we are just your regular family home with a huge love for Chihuahuas and Pugs. We are home breeders and all our dogs and are our family pets. Our breeding is all done from within our home, we don't have outside kennels or outbuildings and everyone is all under one roof. We take our breeding very seriously, we are here to breed for the better of the breed and not for cost, we have completed microchipping, fertility, ultrasound and first aid courses and continue to strive for more knowledge, learning is endless even if your an expert. There is a lot more to breeding than putting two dogs together for a quick buck.  

Our Chihuahua journey started in 2014 and our pug journey in 2016. We don't breed any other breeds nor do we intend to. Chihuahuas and Pugs  are our breeds we love and specialise in. We are always striving for perfection within these breeds and even after 10 years of breeding I still have high standards to have even better over the next 10 years.

Im currently finding a lot of breeders, usually the ones with no licence, jump from breed to breed, breeding whatever is making money, selling well and what's on current trend. For example the poor French Bulldog, hugely!! over bread, the breed is virtually ruined, none licensed breeders have finally given up and the rescues are full with poor and unwell examples of the breed. Every week I am getting these breeders and others wanting to start breeding Chihuahuas, not because they love the breed but because their current breed is ruined, or not making as much money as they was and its time to jump ship and sell the next best thing. When looking for new family addition, ask breeders how long they have been breeding Chihuahuas, pick their brain about health issues, what family trees do they have, are they even licensed? 

Moonathena Puppies is proudly fully inspected and licensed by Maldon County Council to breed Pugs and Chihuahuas. We breed for the love of the breed, to better the breed and to give families a good experience when buying a puppy.

When you leave with a Moonathena Puppy it is more than just a money transaction. To start life newborns sleep in our bedroom, often in incubators with their mum down the side of our bed, mums are able to hop in and out and sleep with us at night. When they are walking they go downstairs to the Chihuahua/puppy room. We do so much socialisation with our babies and it's always such a pleasure to have such amazing feedback on how happy the puppies are when they leave.

Each puppy comes that leaves,  is vaccinated with a minimum of the first set of vaccinations, and leaves with a certificate of good health, signed by our local vet, we worm from week two onwards, each puppy leaves with a minimum of 5 weeks free Kennel Club Insurance, Kennel Club paperwork for KC puppies, all puppies are microchipped prior to leaving which is a legal requirement, a minimum of 3kg of puppy food to get you started, a custom bag with goodies and most importantly my information packs, these are individual to the breed with breed specific information and everything you need to get you started, I'm very proud of these,  I often update them with new knowledge and Information, its exciting getting a new puppy and sometimes all that verbal information goes out our head with the excitement, so on collection day all key dates and facts are made up within these packs for you to read at home.

Welcome to the house of Moonathena

We are a family home hobby breeder, all our dogs are our pets and live within our family home. Our newly built dog rooms is our sleeping quarters for our girls and boys. We don't have any sleeping outdoor facilities and everything is within our family home. We have put a lot of thought into our rooms for our dog family, they have a top of the range air con and heating unit, zero grout for optimal easy cleaning, a TV and Amazon alexa for when we are out, black out blinds from the sun, all our lights are on dimmers,  and my favourite part, our home made island, not just a storage table, but great for sorting out puppy packs, sitting doing paperwork while watching a movie with the pack, its an added groom table and ideal for preparing food. 

Welcome to our garden

During the summer months, we can spend up to 12 hours a day enjoying our beautiful gardens, our dogs have freedom to come inside and out of our home, and can come relax with the air con on, on hot days, we provide a range of indoor and outdoor toys, play tents, tunnels, garden loungers, shade from the sun, garden cabins and the most favourite summer activity, pools! (adored mostly by our girl Ruby who's a real water dog) Although we are gifted to have such a lovely home and gardens for our dogs, we still take our dogs out, all are capable of walking on leads, off leads in open areas and have good recall. We love dog events too! we often go to the The Pug Cafe get togethers, we have a local dog cafe in the village and we often take dogs to Bradwell-On-Sea to burn energy.
