What You Should Ask A Chihuahua Breeder

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 first thing you want to know from any Chihuahua breeder is what national registry they are listed with. If they are listed with one they will have proof to show you. If they can offer no proof then you will want to check their claims for yourself on the Internet. A listing on a breeder registry means that they adhere to the standards of good breeding so ask about it.

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.

Probably one of the most important questions about a prospective Chihuahua breeder you will ask will be asked not to the breeder but rather to your vet. If you do not have a vet then establish a relationship with one and discuss the various breeders in the area with your vet to be sure you are dealing with a breeder your vet trusts. A stamp of approval from your vet is extremely important for the future health of your new dog.

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.

It may be a difficult conversation about a situation that you will probably never have to ever use but you can get a good feeling about how dedicated to their craft a breeder is by their policy of taking back an animal rather than having it abandoned. They won't offer a cash refund but they will offer a second chance to the dog.

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.
