What You Should Ask A Chihuahua Breeder
No commentsAnyone 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 very first thing you want to know is what national breeder registry the breeder is listed with. A listing with a breeder registry means that the breeder understands and uses the practices of good breeding and that is something you absolutely want. If they are reputable they will have something to show you that lets you know what registry they are listed with.
A Chihuahua breeder that is worth doing business with understands that the relationship with the owner does not end when the transaction is over. Talk with your breeder about the support and advice they offer after the sale. Your relationship with your breeder will go on for many years after you bring the pup home so if your breeder indicates that they may not offer ongoing consultation then you may want to avoid that 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.
A good Chihuahua breeder is going to have an interest in the ongoing good health and happiness of all the animals they breed so discuss with your breeder their policy of taking back a dog that is not wanted.
The breeder will not offer a cash refund but they will offer the dog a second chance at a new owner and offer the old owner a chance to do the right thing and not leave their little pet abandoned to die.
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.
