Chihuahua Breeders To Avoid
|
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. As dark as it may sound you would also benefit from a visit to the local law enforcement authorities to ask about breeders you are considering. If a breeder has a history with the local law enforcement then it may be a good idea to avoid getting involved with that breeder for your good and for the good of your future pup. 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. So take your time when you are choosing a breeder and make sure you feel totally comfortable with the choice you make because it is an important choice for the happiness of your family.
