AmigoReal is a Dogs New Zealand–registered Chihuahua kennel in Christchurch, New Zealand. Inspired by the breed’s heritage, our name “Amigo Real” means “Royal Friend” in Spanish, reflecting our deep admiration for these exceptional dogs.
At AmigoReal, health, structure, and temperament are paramount. To ensure our Chihuahuas are as healthy and structurally sound as they are beautiful, we conduct DNA tests to eliminate hereditary conditions and perform comprehensive screenings: eyes, heart, patellas, hips (including Legg-Calvé-Perthes), and thyroid (T4). In 2020, we introduced rigorous protocols that set a new benchmark in New Zealand. For transparency, we proudly display each dog’s health results on their profile.
We provide a nurturing environment and socialisation to raise well-rounded Chihuahuas. By exposing our Chihuahuas to diverse sights, sounds, and gentle handling, we cultivate confidence, adaptability, and resilience—whether they excel in the show ring or become treasured companions. Emphasising quality over quantity, we produce champions who excel in conformation and companions that embody the Chihuahua’s spirited charm.
We stand behind every dog we breed, forming lifelong relationships with puppy families and offering support. Should a return become necessary, we guarantee a safe, loving home here at AmigoReal. Whether you seek a future show prospect or a devoted friend, an AmigoReal Chihuahua is more than a pet—it’s 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.

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.
