Legit Questions To Ask A Chihuahua Breeder

Article Title: Legit Questions To Ask A Chihuahua Breeder
Author: Sandra A Dean

Always ask for proof of what national breeder registry your
Chihuahua breeder is listed with. A good Chihuahua breeder will
have an ongoing interest in the health of your dog so ask
questions about their support after the sale. Ask your vet for
breeder advice as well. Any good Chihuahua breeder is going to
have a policy that allows owners to return pets rather than
abandon them.

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.

A Chihuahua breeder that is worth doing business with
understands that the relationship with the owner does not end
when the transaction is over. Talk with your breeder about the
support and advice they offer after the sale. Your relationship
with your breeder will go on for many years after you bring the
pup home so if your breeder indicates that they may not offer
ongoing consultation then you may want to avoid that 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.

As painful as it may be, any good Chihuahua breeder will have a
policy where they will take back the pet at any stage of its
life if the owner can no longer care for it, to avoid having the
dog be abandoned. 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. A good breeder will
be expecting a lot of questions so don't think you are doing
anything new and many reputable breeders will insist that you
ask as many questions as you can think of because to a good
breeder a solid relationship with the owner is just as important
as any other part of the dog's life.
