Questions You Should Ask A Chihuahua Breeder

Anyone that sets out to sell anything starts to develop a routine that they like to use when talking to a new customer. As a prospective customer of a Chihuahua breeder you want to know what questions to ask so that you can judge for yourself if you are getting a good dealer or not and you are also going to want to have your Chihuahua ownership questions answered. You need to know what to ask a Chihuahua breeder in order to tell if you are dealing with a good one or not and these are some of the things you should be asking a Chihuahua breeder.

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.

Get your Chihuahua breeder to talk about the support they offer after the dog is home with you. You Chihuahua breeder should not disappear after you leave their property because any owner will need contact with their breeder in case something goes wrong with their new pet. A good breeder will be available for consultation for many years after you bring the dog home and if they indicate that this is not the case then consider another 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.

Any good and reputable Chihuahua breeder is going to offer a policy where an owner can return a Chihuahua at any point in the dogs’ life if that owner can no longer keep the dog. The breeder will not offer any refund but it will prevent the dog from being abandoned.

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.

Ask a lot of questions of any breeder you are considering. A reputable and good breeder will expect a lot of questions and the tougher questions are not going to hurt a good breeder’s feelings so ask anything you want.

A good breeder will be expecting a lot of questions so don’t think you are doing anything new and many reputable breeders will insist that you ask as many questions as you can think of because to a good breeder a solid relationship with the owner is just as important as any other part of the dog’s life.
