What You Should Ask A Chihuahua Breeder

by Sandra Dean

When you start looking for a Chihuahua breeder to get your dog from then you are going to want to find out all the important things about that breeder before you do business with them. To do this you need to know what to ask a prospective Chihuahua breeder so that you can tell if they are reputable and if they know the business of properly raising and breeding Chihuahuas as well. Make sure you ask any questions you have, as a reputable breeder will expect questions.

The very first thing you want to know is what national breeder registry the breeder is listed with. A listing with a breeder registry means that the breeder understands and uses the practices of good breeding and that is something you absolutely want. If they are reputable they will have something to show you that lets you know what registry they are listed with.

Get your Chihuahua breeder to talk about the support they offer after the dog is home with you. You Chihuahua breeder should not disappear after you leave their property because any owner will need contact with their breeder in case something goes wrong with their new pet. A good breeder will be available for consultation for many years after you bring the dog home and if they indicate that this is not the case then consider another breeder.

A great source for any information you might need to know about your new pet can come from your vet. You will need a vet when you get a new pup so if you haven’t picked a vet out yet then do so and discuss prospective breeders with your vet to find out what they think of the breeders you are considering. Your vet will steer you in the right direction and make sure that you deal with a breeder that you will be happy with.

A good Chihuahua breeder is going to have an interest in the ongoing good health and happiness of all the animals they breed so discuss with your breeder their policy of taking back a dog that is not wanted.

The breeder will not offer a cash refund but they will offer the dog a second chance at a new owner and offer the old owner a chance to do the right thing and not leave their little pet abandoned to die.

Deciding on a Chihuahua breeder is important so be ready to ask a lot of questions before you settle on one.

So pay attention when you talk to your breeder and not only should you hear the answers but pay attention to how they act also, as this will also voluntarily tell you many things you need to know.
