Fortner Families

Fortner Families, Chihuahua and pug breeders in Abilene, KS, welcome families in Dickinson County and the Smoky Hills near Salina. They have been breeding small companions for over a decade with memberships in the American Kennel Club and adhere to recommended health screening for both breeds. Health testing includes patella and cardiac checks, and their lines include several first- or second-generation champions.

Pups grow up indoors alongside children and other pets and enjoy daily outdoor play in a fenced yard. Socialization begins early with gentle handling, basic grooming introductions and leash practice to prepare puppies for household life. Fortner Families also shares insights from their family’s multigenerational farm roots and offers ongoing support as the puppies settle into new homes. Many puppy owners note the breeders’ thoughtful photo updates and steady guidance through the first months.

All puppies receive age-appropriate vaccinations before leaving.
