Spotting Fake Shih Tzu Breeders

By Rebecca Simpson

When you decide it is time to bring home a Shih Tzu for you and your family you want to be certain that you are getting the best start you possible can when you start life with your new pet.

The best way to insure you get the best dog you can get and a breeder you can trust is to do some research and make sure you get a reputable Shih Tzu breeder. A good breeder makes all the difference in the world, so take your time and make the right choice the first time.

The place you can start is any of the national breeder registries you can find on the Internet or just skip right to the National Kennel Club, which is the standard by which many breeders go by in the United States. The registry will point you towards a quality breeder and help you start your search off on the best foot possible to get the best results.

A good Shih Tzu breeder knows that the relationship between an owner and a breeder does not stop after the transaction is signed and done.

If you are having a difficult time getting a hold of a particular breeder, or they don't seem too anxious to answer questions, then you may need to move on to a different breeder before you make a mistake.

Another good sign of a breeder is how helpful they are with your new dog's diet. A good breeder will offer detailed advice on care and feeding of your new Shih Tzu and they also offer their own personal advice as well, based on their experience. Most breeders will also send you home with a food sample so you know what to get your dog for the future. If you are not getting any of this kind of help from your breeder then you may have a bad breeder.

When you get ready to take your new dog home from the Shih Tzu breeder the reputable breeder will offer you free pet insurance for a six week period after you leave their property. They get it as a free incentive from insurance companies and the hope of the insurance company is that you will want to continue coverage. Free pet insurance is not something a shady breeder can offer or will offer.

There are so many ways to tell if you are dealing with a fake Shih Tzu breeder or not and you should take the time to use them all to find out for sure. There is one more thing a real and reputable breeder will do for you that a shady one will not. A reputable breeder will offer to take your dog back, with no refund, if you ever decide you do not want it anymore or cannot have it. A real breeder is very interested in the health and well being of the dog.
