What Makes A Fake Shih Tzu Breeder

Article Title: What Makes A Fake Shih Tzu Breeder
Author: Rebecca A Simpson

When you decide it is time to bring home a Shih Tzu for you and
your family you want to be certain that you are getting the best
start you possible can when you start life with your new pet.
The best way to insure you get the best dog you can get and a
breeder you can trust is to do some research and make sure you
get a reputable Shih Tzu breeder. A good breeder makes all the
difference in the world, so take your time and make the right
choice the first time.

The first thing you can do is check with the National Kennel
Club to find a reputable breeder in your area. The National
Kennel Club will have a listing of most of the very good
breeders near you and also some information about the dogs that
breeder offers. There are other breeder registries that you can
also look into and check out any potential local breeder you may
want to deal with. If they are not listed with a registry then
you may want to avoid them.

A good Shih Tzu breeder will be there for long after you take
your new puppy home. A good breeder will be available to answer
your questions and advice while you are raising your puppy. If
you are having a difficult time getting a hold of a particular
breeder, or they don't seem too anxious to answer questions,
then you may need to move on to a different breeder before you
make a mistake.

Another good sign of a breeder is how helpful they are with
your new dog's diet. A good breeder will offer detailed advice
on care and feeding of your new Shih Tzu and they also offer
their own personal advice as well, based on their experience.
Most breeders will also send you home with a food sample so you
know what to get your dog for the future. If you are not getting
any of this kind of help from your breeder then you may have a
bad breeder.

A reputable Shih Tzu breeder will offer you free pet insurance
that will begin as soon as you take ownership of the dog and
extend for six weeks. They are given the insurance for free from
insurance companies in the hopes that you will see how
convenient it is during that first vet appointment and you will
extend the coverage. If you are not offered free pet insurance
then you are probably not dealing with a reputable breeder.

A good breeder can mean many things to an owner and you should
make sure to discuss all of these things prior to investing in a
dog from any breeder. A good breeder will also offer to take
back the dog, without a refund, at any point in the dog's life
if you can no longer care for it. A good breeder is interested
in the health and happiness of the dog and the satisfaction of
the family that bought it.
