Nevertheless, while looking for a puppy you may also come across a few breeders who don't take the trouble to breed the Chihuahuas in the proper manner. Shop around when you are looking for Chihuahua breeders and try and ask accurate questions. A few guidelines are available that you can pursue and will help you to establish whether the breeder is in fact breeding his animals in a responsible manner, and also make sure that you acquire a puppy that's good tempered, attractive and more importantly, healthy.
Do not rush when buying a Chihuahua and make sure you are sure about what you are doing, because they can live for over eighteen years, so it would definitely be a long commitment. Find a puppy that's bred carefully and is healthy, to avoid possible genetic problems resulting in defects or disease.
There are lots of ways you can make sure that the breeder you have selected practices proper Chihuahua breeding procedures. You can check with national or state Chihuahua clubs as they have lists of highly regarded breeders in your region. Your local vet could have names of first-class Chihuahua breeders and even friends or family with Chihuahuas could point you the right way. Some magazines could have listings inside for Chihuahua breeders, and you should check the local pet supply store for these magazines.
Why not go online to look for Chihuahua breeders? By locating a breeder in your region, you could arrange for a visit to check out the place and dogs for yourself. Finding a decent Chihuahua breeder was the first stage. The second stage would be to ensure that the breeder you've selected practices Chihuahua breeding responsibly. Do this first by interviewing the prospective breeder about a few of his procedures in relation to his dogs. A breeder who is responsible will vet his dogs against any type of hereditary problems such as eye diseases, which can often be found in the Chihuahuas breed.
If the breeder owns dogs that may have been tested positive for these symptoms in the past, they shouldn't have been used at any stage in the breeding procedure. All good breeders will allow you to see one or both of the puppy's parents, that way you will be able to see the dog's appearance and temperament.
The area which breeding takes place must be clean, and all the puppies should have a clean appearance and look healthy. The breeder should also show interest about where the puppy is going to be homed, and not just be interested in making a profit. By following these simple guidelines, the likelihood of finding a breeder who is responsible in the breeding of Chihuahuas, are good.
