Chihuahua Breeders To Avoid
When you decide to do business with a Chihuahua breeder you aren’t buying a lamp from someone you will never see again, you are buying a pet that you will be raising in partnership with your breeder. Make sure you do a thorough check of your breeder before you do business with them, as you need to be completely comfortable that they are the right breeder for you. A reputable breeder will not try and hide anything from you and a reputable breeder will insist that you do all of your own researching so that you find that breeder that is perfect for you.
The first thing you can do to weed out the shady breeders is to check and see what national breeding registry each are listed with. The gold standard is the American Kennel Club but there are other registries so find out which one your breeder is associated with so you can see what kind of breeding standards they use when doing their business. Also check to make sure they are really listed with the registry, do not take their word for it. Remember you are checking someone out so do your own work.
You will never get better advice about any aspect of your dog’s life than from your vet. If you do not have a vet yet then the time to strike up a relationship with a vet is when you are looking for a Chihuahua breeder. Your vet may have opinions on the breeders you are considering and may also have breeders to recommend to you that they have done a great deal of business with in the past. Always consult with your vet prior to dealing with any Chihuahua breeder.
Next you should probably talk to the local law enforcement officials and ask them if they are familiar with any of the breeders you are considering. Needless to say that if the law is familiar with a breeder, but in a bad way, then you probably want to steer very clear of that breeder and move on to someone that is not on a first name basis with the police in your town. This is serious business and doing that business with a criminal is a very bad idea.
After you have gone through asking everyone else what they think of your prospective Chihuahua breeders it is now time to talk to the breeders themselves. See what their attitude is about breeding and gauge whether or not this is someone you want to do business with for many years to come.
Ask them if they intend to offer you detailed information and advice about the proper care and feeding of your Chihuahua before you take it home and if they will be giving you a food sample so you know what to feed your dog.
A relationship between breeder and owner goes on for many years and if you make the wrong breeder choice then that is something you may end up regretting down the road.
Only you can make that determination and you should only make that determination after you have done more than sufficient research.
