Illinois · Dachshunds & Chihuahuas

Little dogs, raised in the house.

Barb's Bitsy Babies is a family puppy business. The puppies are born at home and stay close until they are ready for a family. The fastest way to know who is here is to call Barb.

State-licensed breeder. Calls and texts are both welcome.

The two breeds

Both are little dogs with a lot of opinion, and they live as house dogs.

Dachshunds

Long backs, short legs, and a stubborn streak of affection. A dachshund wants to be in the blanket with you.

Chihuahuas

Small enough to ride along, and loyal in a way that surprises people. A chihuahua picks a person and keeps them.

How a puppy goes home

  1. 1

    Call or text

    Tell Barb whether you are asking about a Dachshund or a Chihuahua, and whether you are hoping for a puppy now or later.

  2. 2

    Hear what is true

    She will tell you who is here, who is reserved, and what she is expecting. The website is the introduction, not the whole conversation.

  3. 3

    Meet when the time is right

    Puppies stay until they are ready. Barb helps match a little dog with a home that wants one close by.

The parent dogs

These are the grown dogs the puppies come from. Photos on the site start as drawings until Barb adds her own.

Call Barb.

If you are hoping for one of these little companions, the phone is the way. She answers as soon as she can.
