🐊 Bravo’s Instigator – “Gator”
Bred by Bravo Chihuahuas | Bold, Brilliant, and Born to Shine
What can we say about Bravo’s Instigator, better known as Gator? From the moment he arrived on June 11, 2021, we knew he was something special. Strong, confident, and bursting with personality, Gator has always marched to the beat of his own drum—and turned heads while doing it.
Gator is the kind of boy who commands attention the moment he enters a room—or a ring. With his bold presence, balanced structure, and natural confidence, he was born to show. But Gator is more than just a stunning show prospect—he’s also an absolute joy to live with. At home, he’s a cuddler, a goofball, and a loyal friend, always ready to snuggle up or romp around the yard with his Chihuahua crew and his two German Shorthair Pointer pals.
He brings a perfect balance of show ring sparkle and everyday charm, making him not just a standout in the spotlight, but also a deeply loved member of the Bravo Chihuahuas family.
In 2023, Gator will take his talents to the West Coast with Alison Gray, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what he accomplishes in the ring under her expert care and handling.
As part of our commitment to breeding sound, healthy Chihuahuas, Gator has passed all of his OFA and health screenings with flying colors:
-
OFA Cardiac: Normal (Passed 07/30/2022)
-
Patellas: 0/0 (Passed 07/30/2022) (Jun2025)
-
CERF Eye Test: Normal (Passed 08/27/2022)
-
CHIC# 174468
Gator is everything we love about this breed—spirited, smart, healthy, and full of heart. His story is only beginning, and we can’t wait to see him continue to shine wherever he goes.
