Article Title: Avoiding Shady Shih Tzu Breeders
Author: Rebecca A Simpson
You are going to talk to a lot of Shih Tzu breeders before you
find the one you like so be ready for a long process. Make sure
the Shih Tzu breeder you are considering is listed with a
national breeder registry and not in trouble with local
authorities. You will be talking to your breeder for years after
the sale so make sure you are comfortable with any Shih Tzu
breeders you are considering and also check them out with your
vet before buying.
When you are ready to buy a Shih Tzu dog you are ready to bring
a new member into your family and that is a big deal and an
important transaction. The Shih Tzu breeder you choose needs to
be someone you feel comfortable doing business with and someone
you can trust. Also gauge the feeling of the breeder as well. A
breeder that does not seem to really care about the dogs he is
selling is probably not worth doing business with.
Finding the right Shih Tzu breeder takes a lot of time and a
lot of patience. You don't want to settle on the first one you
meet and a good breeder knows that a good owner will do their
homework before buying a dog. So you aren't hurting a good
breeder's feelings by acting responsibly. If in your travels you
see any animal cruelty by any breeders be sure to report it to
the proper authorities right away.
The very first thing you want to be sure of is whether or not
the breeder you are considering is listed with any of the
national breeding registries. If you ask the breeder they will
tell you if they are or not and then you can go on the Internet
and check for yourself, which you should do. A good and
reputable breeder has nothing to hide and would have no problem
with you checking out their background. Making their practices
public is why they join a registry in the first place.
Many people neglect to take a step in their Shih Tzu breeder
search that can be very important. Contact your local
authorities and ask them if the Shih Tzu breeder you are
considering has ever had any complaints lodged against them or
if they have ever run into trouble with the law because of the
way they run their business. This is very important information
to have.
Your vet is always a great resource for any kind of advice or
information you may need on any of the prospective Shih Tzu
breeders you are considering. If you are getting your first pet
then it would be a good idea to start a relationship with a vet
anyway and what better way to start off with your new vet than
taking their advice on a breeder? Your vet is only in it for the
health and safety of your pet so their advice will reflect that
concern and that is the information you need.
Talk to the breeders as well. If you do not feel comfortable
with one then do not do business with them. A breeder is
supposed to not only sell you a pet but also be available to you
for the life of your pet, so you want to be sure that the
breeder you choose is someone you would have no problem talking
to and dealing with. This is an important decision so take your
time and do your homework.
