Also, you may find that you can get a quality pure-bred puppy from a reputable breeder often for the same price or less than the price at the pet store.
I encourage you to do some research on the topic, as well as on chihuahuas as a breed, and look for reputable breeders in your area. Then you can make a decision on where and when to get a chi puppy. |
We talked about that also... The lady at the pet store told me they were from a breeder.. But i have heard alot of aweful things about puppies in a pet store.. I truely beileve if we did get one he would come from a breeder.. But not before i went visit and see what kind of conditions they were raised in.. Like my yorkie baby.. She gets lots and i mean lots of love an attition everyday and they have been callin her by her name after 2wks she was born.. The Breeder im geting her from sends me pic messages to my phone.. I would hope to find a nice breeder like that for the Chi pup as well..
As far as price goes they wanted 650$ for him.. I don't currently know how much they go for but like i did with my new baby i will do all the research i can about them.. I hope i can come across a nice forum like this one..
