Dear Melina,
I am writing to thank you for having bred your gorgeous girl Daquiri and that you chose to home her little beauty with me. CoCo is doing well. She is the apple of my eye and a super sweet, smart, and darling little love. I really appreciated the support and knowledge you shared with me and all the special care you took of CoCo till she was mine. It was certainly evident in my little beauty that she was raised with love and was well looked after. It was also amazing to receive regular updates and pictures of her. I loved that I was able to enjoy her growth as well. And like any proud Mommy, have all kinds of pretty baby pictures of my baby girl to enjoy forever.
It was a real pleasure to purchase my puppy from you because you were so professional and knowledgable about your puppies. Also I felt I could trust you as a breeder and your many years of expertise with your dogs. I'm very proud to own a Hibiscus Chihuahua from you. Many, many thanks for all the care and work you did so CoCo could be mine.
Best Wishes Always,
Maria proud owner of Hibiscus CoCo Channel

This letter is a reference to Melina Simons and Hibiscus Chihuahuas. It was obvious from the very first moment that I first met Melina that this was not just a dog breeding business. Her love of this particularly wonderful breed and of her dogs is clearly displayed and very obvious!
I got my first Chihuahua "Minik" about 1.5 years ago from Melina and watched this little guy mature nicely into very intelligent, even-tempered dog with his distinct strong personality. Minik is an exceptionally smart dog with a champion blood. I have to mention that this little guy literally saved my life (when I slipped on ice and hit my head a year ago) by waking up all the neighbours and getting help! He is not a pet to us, but a true member of the family and a unique companion. Minik is also a very healthy and an exceptionally good looking dog. Each time I take him out on a walk he receives multiple compliments on his appearance from everybody.
Although I would never think of having a second dog, we got "Timbit" about 6 months ago from Melina. This little guy is another healthy and happy puppy. And I recently find myself thinking about getting a third Chihuahua.
Melina makes sure that she matches the right puppy with the right family and provides you with a great deal of information on the breed and tips on raising the puppy. She is a fantastic breeder and very dedicated to betterment of her chosen bread, Chihuahuas. Her devotion to her dogs is commendable and her breeding standards are extremely high.
I feel these attributes demonstrate someone with an exceptional character. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a Chihuahua.
I can’t imagine getting a better quality Chihuahua anywhere else!
Sincerely, Muge

"Dear Melina:
A note of thanks for helping bring a whole bunch more smiles, laughs and love to our home! Krystal is such a wonderful dog, she is so well trained thanks to your care and upbringing and she warmed to us immediately
and has become a loving member of our family. It is so evident in Krystal of the time and care you give your Chihuahuas, and you have been so professional throughout us getting to know Krystal in answering our queries and following up before we met you right through to two months after bringing her home! We receive so many compliments about Krystal and we ALWAYS refer you and look forward to working with you in the future!
Best wishes, and please do consider this a personal and professional reference!"
Best regards, David & Jacqui

"I purchased my first Chihuahua (Blanche DePaws) from Melina in the fall of 2009. Having never owned a Chihuahua I was unfamiliar with the breed and their specific traits. Melina was and continues to be supportive and informative when questions arise involving the breed and we are in close contact regarding Blanche and her development. And we like to share pictures :)
Blanche is an amazing dog, good natured, sweet and cuddly and I am thrilled I chose the Chihuahua breed and feel extremely lucky to have the support of Melina who I know cares deeply for her puppies and ensures placement in loving homes."

"I bought Roxy my long haired Chihuahua from Melina in February of 08. She is CKC registered and her parents are Kissa and Kodak. Roxy was 7 months old when I bought her and she was in excellent health. All her shots were up to date and my Veterinarian says how great Roxy is doing and in what great health she is in, She is now 2 years old and going strong.
I really love the way Melina especially handles and cares for all of her dogs. She makes sure they are all groomed daily and always makes sure her dogs go to a good home before releasing them. Melina helps me out a lot whenever I have any questions or concerns about anything.
I would recommend Melina to anyone of my friends or family to buy from her because I know that she is a reputable breeder."
Sincerely,
Lindsay

"This letter is my personal recommendation for Melina as a breeder. We have had the opportunity 5 months ago to purchase a long-haired Chihuahua from Melina. Aside from the fact that Melina is consistently pleasant and very professional, she is also easy to contact and responds quickly to any questions we may have.
For those of you who get a chance to read this, I must say on behalf of my family that it was been a joy purchasing our newest addition to our family with Melina. She goes that extra mile to make sure you are satisfied and that you and your new puppy are doing well.
Our puppy is happy, healthy and really playful. She is very friendly with everyone that enters the house, minus the few cautionary barks. She loves the outdoors and the indoors and has quickly adjusted to her new home. My family could not be happier to have such a great puppy and we owe that to Melina.
I highly recommend purchasing a puppy from Melina. If you chose to buy from Melina, I promise you that you have made the right decision."
Kind regards,
Samantha and Family

"I recently purchased an apple head Chihuahua from Melina. I went to visit him and put a deposit in January while he continued to stay in Melina's care. Melina would regularly email me photos regarding my new puppy's development. She treated him as her own and continued to stay in touch and follow up on how the puppy is doing. I was very comforted knowing that he was being well cared for and in a loving home until I receive him. The purchase included his first set of vaccinations, deworming, and micro chipping. The puppy was not able to be micro chipped due to the fact he is very small. If you are looking for a healthy apple head Chihuahua, I would recommend Melina."

Nicole

"I would first of all like to say that the gifts that Melina provides to her clients through Hibiscus Chihuahuas is truly enviable in the eyes of anyone seeking to do their part in giving back to society. In a world so troubled by money woes, and a troubled unrest, completely economy driven, there is not much that compares to the unconditional love and peaceful sanctuary found within the embrace of your beloved chi-baby.
The precious gift of life in the form of a tiny four-legged baby is incomparable to my prized Louis Vuittons and even my most precious Prada.
As such, I am amazed with Melina. The selfless time and care devoted to the health and happiness of these precious little lives that will one day no longer be hers is absolutely commendable.
Melina has consistently been a pleasure to deal with, showing genuine compassion for her breed, and a substantial knowledge base that is refreshing and appreciated. It was evident to me subsequent to the screening process and follow-up care via emails and phone calls, that this is not a business driven by the love of money, but rather, for the love of the breed and furthermore, the comfort and certainty that her treasures have found a loving and nurturing forever home.
Thank you so much Melina."
Warmest hugs and smooches,

"He there, if you are wanting to buy a chihuahua, listen up and this will save you a lot of time.
Fortunately for my wife and I we met Melina early in our search for the ideal puppy. We heard of her through a friend. We went to visit her and were met by a delightful young woman who had a few chihuahua's. The setup was efficient, clean and we noticed an innovation or two for pet care. After some deliberation we chose a tiny female named Corona, we were supplied with a complete history, some kind suggestions on care.
Melina made us feel comfortable in our pet purchase. We did not realize how well we had done until about a year later when our boxer Maggie died, she was our Chihuahua's companion. We had to find another friend for her. We decided on another chihuahua. Unfortunately we had moved some distance away from Melina and had misplaced her telephone number. So no problem we would just find another source. Well there were many sources for chihuahua's. The only problem was they did not resemble what we had come to know as a chihuahua. They had long legs, long bodies, and the tiny teacup descriptions ended up being 10 pounders. We looked, called and travelled and were continually disappointed. We had to find Melina. Out of dozens of places claiming to have the top of the line dogs, none came close in any way, just unbelievable. We finally did manage to find a little ruby coloured long hair way out in the woods, home raised and well cared for. What a lot of looking. Finally we found Melina again, her own website and a strong clientele. We mentioned the trouble we had trying to find a puppy the same caliber as her pups. She laughed a little and told us why.
So save yourself a lot of disappointment, end up with a great pupppy, call Melina
This is our reference from personal experience.

To Whom It May Concern:
"I would like to offer a letter of reference for Melina, of Hibiscus Chihuahuas. In September 2006, I purchased a registered female Chihuahua puppy from her. I found Melina to be very knowledgeable in her understanding of not only Chihuahuas, but of dogs in general. She spent a lot of time answering all of our questions, while we got to interact with the puppy. At no time did we feel pressured to purchase. It was nice to just be able to get to know the puppy and see if it was a match.
Upon purchasing our little girl, Melina provided us with the necessities for our first couple of days at home. (food, info, etc.) We were also provided with the documentation to register her. Melina promptly answered any and all questions we had after purchase. She enjoyed hearing about our adventures and receiving pictures as she grew and changed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melina to anyone looking to purchase a Chihuahua. Her dogs always appear to be healthy, happy and well mannered. I personally never thought I’d be a Chihuahua owner, but our little “Jabby” is the best thing that’s ever happened to us. Everyone who meets her, love her and she’s accompanied us on our travels both here and stateside."
Yours truly,
Ellen
