Frequently asked questions about choosing a chihuahua breeder :
How do I find a reputable chihuahua breeder ?

The best place to begin your search is by contacting your local kennel club or the parent club for your breed, in this case www.chihuahuaclubofamerica.com. They can help direct you towards a good local breeder in your area  You can find local clubs at the www.AKC.org website. Here in California you might also check with the chihuahua clubs. The Northern California chihuahua club website is www.chiclubnorcal.com and the Southern California chihuahua club website is www.southerncaliforniachihuahuaclub.com these local breed clubs can help you with information on chihuahuas, showing, and a list of local, reputable breeders in your area.
The internet is also a great source of information, but beware, you will likely find a huge multitude of puppies for sale. Do your research on the party that you may do business with. Ask for references. Ask questions. Are they active in local clubs or organizations ?Do they have a track record with the breed ?  Are their dogs registered  ? With AKC ?  Do they offer any health guarantee ? Why do they breed ? To better the breed ? To show ? How long have they been involved with the breed ?With so many folks offering chihuahuas for sale, many don't even resemble the breed, make sure you know your breeder. Whether your chihuahua puppy is to be for show or pet, a chihuahua should look like a chihuahua.Any reputable breeder will be more than willing to take the time to answer any questions you may have,and they will want to know about you too, in return. After all, they will want to know more about where this precious puppy is going.


Why should I buy from a reputable show chihuahua breeder ?

A reputable, show, chihuahua breeder will  guarantee their dogs/puppies. They have worked years to develop a line of chihuahuas that exemplifies the AKC Chihuahua Standard. A line that exudes type, good health, and a great temperment.  They will be there for you, to answer any questions that may come up, to help with any problems that may arise. They will be there to support you.  They will look forward to updates from you. They will want to stay in touch with you.  Your treasured chihuahua puppy is the result of years of hard work and dedication, and the true love of chihuahuas, done by your responsible, reputable chihuahua breeder to give you a happy, healthy, quality chihuahua puppy.

Will it cost me more to buy from a reputable show chihuahua breeder ?

From the internet sellers I've seen and the prices that they are currently asking, NO, the folks selling for profit
are generally  higher in price than the  true reputable breeders whose main concern is the welfare of the dogs.
It costs the same amount of  time and money to raise a chihuahua puppy to show or as a pet. They both need the same vaccinations, feed and social training so the pricing will often be the same or similar.
