AmigoReal is a Chihuahua kennel based in Christchurch and registered with Dogs New Zealand. Meaning “Royal Friend” in Spanish, our name honours foundation bitch Harriet, whose intelligence, loyalty and regal character inspired our breeding programme.
Health, sound structure, temperament and correct Chihuahua type guide our decisions. Breeding dogs complete DNA testing and veterinary assessment of the eyes, heart, patellas, hips and thyroid. Results are considered alongside pedigree, development, family history and the qualities a proposed pairing may produce.
Dogs bred by AmigoReal have been recognised at Breed, Group and In Show level under local and international judges. These achievements have been earned by multiple dogs from different litters, demonstrating consistency throughout our breeding programme.
Transparency is important to us. Health information is displayed within our dogs’ profiles, and our website documents our breeding dogs, pedigrees and every AmigoReal litter produced. This includes every puppy, not only those retained or awarded titles.
Our puppies are raised within our home and introduced to handling, household life, sounds, surfaces and early experiences. Whether destined for the show ring, a responsible breeding programme or life as a cherished companion, each receives the same foundation of care, intention and respect.
Each AmigoReal Chihuahua is exactly what the name promises: Your Royal Friend for life.
Kitaco is owned by Dr. Tracey Tonkin BVSc (Hons), a reproductive veterinarian and the recipient of the prestigious Dogz Online Breeder of the Year (Long Coat Chihuahuas) award for the past 4 years (2021-2024).
Our breeding philosophy prioritizes health, temperament, and adherence to breed standards. We ensure our dogs' well-being through DNA screening for genetic disorders, heart and eye exams, patella assessments, and hip scoring. We're also actively involved in a long-term study at La Trobe University, investigating the link between breeder practices and puppy development.
Kitaco Kennels is renowned for producing dogs with outstanding breed characteristics and exceptional temperaments. In additional to their success in the show ring both in NZ and Australia, our dogs have graced professional stages and photography sets, showcasing their beauty and trainability. We also have dogs who are working as Canine Therapy dogs.

At Amara Chihuahuas, we take immense pride in being a small boutique kennel that prioritizes quality over quantity. Our Chihuahuas are lovingly raised in our home and are considered cherished members of our family.
As a Dogs New Zealand breeder, we are fully committed to breeding Chihuahuas to the highest standard, with exceptional conformation and temperament. Our dogs undergo rigorous DNA testing and comprehensive health checks to ensure they are free from known breed issues, such as heart, eyes, and patella problems.
We are thrilled to breed Chihuahuas that are not only breathtaking in appearance but also structurally sound and possess wonderful temperaments. Through importing a substantial number of quality dogs, we are able to selectively breed from pedigrees of top kennels worldwide. In fact, we have imported the most new lines into New Zealand and currently have 7 imported dogs in our kennel, including 1 from Bramver's in Japan, 5 from Cheekychi in Australia, and 1 from Countrychi in Australia.
We are wholeheartedly dedicated to continually improving our lines and the breed as a whole and actively collaborate with like-minded breeders who share our vision. Be sure to stay tuned for updates, as we continue to add new lineage from top Chihuahua Kennels that have won Best of Breed at prestigious shows like Crufts and Westminster.
Please note that we are highly selective when it comes to placing our puppies, as we want to ensure they find the best possible homes.
Arkady Kennels is a small, preservation breeder of Chihuahuas. We have occasional litters. All dogs are health tested with a rehoming guarantee.
