"Wow there are so many pups available for sale out there and at such different prices, how do i choose the right one for me?"
This is a question many of you have probably said and realized when you have started your search for a puppy so this page is here to help you understand the importance of choosing the right pup.
As stated in an earlier page "not all Chihuahua are the same so don't settle for second best" and over many years of actually listening to peoples past experiences and indeed present experiences when looking for pups many of you haven't really known what to look for except the price. Whilst the initial cost of buying a Chihuahua can be very expensive try not to let this be the determining factor when choosing your pup as this really says nothing about the pup or the breeder which are what you should be concerned about at this stage of your search. Understandably different budgets suit different people but really this should make buyers on smaller budgets be very careful in their selection and look after their money but usually i have found they rushed out to buy as soon as their money was available. At the other end of the scale buyers with larger budgets brought a pup because it fitted in their handbag or looked like Paris Hilton's or many other irrelevant reasons. This is not to say they haven't luckily ended up with a good pup as some of them did but unfortunately most of them had or are still having problems.
One of the most important aspect of buying a good pup is to learn as much as you can about the breeder and the way they strive to produce superior family friendly puppies. What they put in is what they get out but unfortunately so many are breeding solely for the money as they really think it's money for old rope but this couldn't be further from the truth, breeding is a full time commitment and an art, so good pups really do come from good breeders.
Usually the pup can say so much about the breeder during its early life with their temperament and confidence displayed to you when you visit, so pay attention to parents and puppies interacting with each other and of course yourselves.
Mum does a great job in the whelping stage of the pups life but from around 4 weeks of age the Breeder must start their job when weaning should begin along with the socialization stage to open the pups eyes to what they may be surrounded by during their adult life. I have 4 German Shepherds, a Cat, and a Lhasa Apso and along with Children they all play a very important part in moulding the pups character in the early stage of life thus letting them know that there are bigger, hairier, louder and indeed uglier living creatures than themselves out there. You may ask how these can help well we have all seen nervous pups, which is not uncommon, but if they carry this nervousness into their development stage then any noise sudden movements or scares could dominate their character and ultimately develop into a dog you really didn't want to buy.
As with all dogs health issues are something no one wants to think about but this must be taken into consideration as it can seriously affect your emotions as well as your pocket. The reason i have many dogs is to ensure the mums get a rest from breeding thus giving their insides chance to repair from what can be at times a very traumatic experience for such small dogs. This not only makes mum healthy but also the pups during the pregnancy period. I probably don't need to say that bad breeders will constantly breed their females on every season and also end up interbreeding which in turn leads to possible deformities and a life time of sickness all due to the fact of no control in their breeding program. This is why puppy farms have adopted bad names due to the lack of attention and welfare of their breeding stock and money being the sole objective.  
Always remember you have a choice as there are many Chihuahuas for sale but over the years i have seen many breeders pop up due to the fact that the Chihuahua has become so recognized, especially on TV, so do be wary, cautious and above all be patient as a little time thinking about your purchase will be time well spent.  explore your options, it's your money so buy what you want not what's more convenient.
Whoever and wherever you think of buying your pup from is the choice of you the customer but here my pups have earnt their reputation of being of unrivaled temperament from sensible,  organized and high standard breeding.
Make your experience with a Chihuahua a memorable time in your life as from then on you will never be without one.
FINALLY.
A message to those of you who are morally minded who may be saying "all puppies deserve a chance in life" well of course they do but unfortunately with people with no patience these are the pups that usually end up in a rehoming center later in life so if breeders realize no one wants their bad pups then perhaps they will invest time, money and hard work to produce only true sociable and healthy family pets.
