What To Look For In A Chihuahua Breeder

It is time to expand your family and everyone has decided that they really want a Chihuahua for the newest family member. The single most important decision you can make in the search for your new Chihuahua is the first decision you make and that is deciding on what Chihuahua breeder you want to get your dog from. Choosing the wrong breeder could cause problems down the road so take your time and make sure you make the right decision.

A great resource for checking out Chihuahua breeders is the national breeder registries that you can find on the Internet. The gold standard for breeder registries is the National Kennel Club so you may want to start there. It is important that your breeder not only understands the principles of good breeding but also subscribes to them by being listed under a breeder registry. This should be the first place you look for a breeder.
A Chihuahua breeder is so much more than just someone you buy your dog from. Breeders are professionals that you should be able to call on for advice and also for when something seems to be wrong. A good breeder will have an open line of communication with the owner for years to come to make sure the Chihuahua is healthy and happy for a very long time. A breeder that is difficult to get a hold of is not a breeder you want to do business with.

A good breeder loves animals and is just as concerned with how you care for you dog as you are. A reputable breeder will send a new owner home with detailed care and feeding instructions so that the new owner knows what their dog needs and they also send home a food sample so the new owner knows what to feed their dog. If you are talking to a breeder that is not offering detailed care instructions then you are talking to the wrong breeder.
Any reputable Chihuahua breeder is going to offer a new owner free pet insurance for their new dog that extends for six weeks after the purchase date. Your breeder gets these policies for free from insurance companies if they are a good and reputable breeder so if the breeder you are dealing with fails to mention, or offer, any free pet insurance policies then you may want to question your choice of breeder.

When you look to get a new Chihuahua, that first decision you make about which breeder to deal with can be the single most important decision you will make when it comes to owning a Chihuahua. A bad breeder can cause you nothing but problems while a good breeder is by your side for many years to come. So take your time and make the right choice when you go looking for a Chihuahua breeder to get your new Chihuahua pup from.
