How To Spot A Fake Chihuahua Breeder

by Sandra Dean

When it is time to get that new pet you have been thinking about you want to be sure that everything goes just right. If you are considering a Chihuahua then you are going to want to make sure you are dealing with an honest and reputable Chihuahua breeder before you invest in your new pet. There are many things you can do to check and see if the breeder you are dealing with is a good breeder or not and you should take the time to check out any breeder you are considering because it is the health and happiness of your dog and the expectations of your family at stake.

The first thing you want to do is see if a breeder is registered with any of the national breeder registries in the United States or even the United Kingdom. You can find any of these organizations on the Internet and they set the standard for any breeder to follow. The most noticeable registry is the National Kennel Club so you may want to start there.

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.

When a Chihuahua breeder gains a positive reputation and keeps their breeder registry listing in good standing they are approached by insurance companies to offer new owners limited free pet insurance policies.

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.
