Tips For Buying A Chow Chow in Nigeria

• First, it is essential to read up on the Chow Chow’s History and Breed Standards before settling for a chow. It is strongly advised that you pay a visit to kennels and, if possible, attend different shows to see what lines of chows appeal to you. Do not be engrossed with physical appearance. Read up on health issues related to the breed.
• Ensure to make findings on the breeder and the reviews about them. This should be a pointer for you to know whether the breeder is a responsible breeder who tests the chows for any inherited health challenges. 
• If the breeder affirms in the positive to have tested the chows, ask the following questions: …which health problems were they tested for? How were they tested? …and who did the testing? 
• Ask for vaccination certificates and test results. Do well to visit the veterinarian who is in care of the chows for further probing or questions you may have.
• Be an informed buyer! Be careful of buying cheap puppies or unregistered puppies. The saying that “you get what you pay for” also applies here. This is because most cheap puppies are not properly raised or cared for, which may give you a headache later on. 
• If the seller is a registered breeder who has no health certification on the chows and will not offer you post-sale support, he or she shouldn’t charge the same price has one who will. 
• The puppy’s appearance is important. It should be clean, eyes alert, free of any discharges, and the mouth clean. The puppy should be active, playful, and full of excitement, but this is dependent on the time of day. Chows are usually dull and sleepy in the noontime. At three months old, the Chow Chow’s ears should be up. Don’t overlook this.
• Ensure the coat hasn’t tangled and that it’s well-groomed and free of parasites, skin infection, or injuries. The puppy must not have any difficulty in moving, sitting, or rising. The hind legs must also be straight. 
• The puppy should have been vaccinated and dewormed at 6 weeks by a veterinarian. It’s best to buy a puppy at about 7-12 weeks old. For easy bonding with the new owner, buying a chow chow at 8 – 10 weeks old is best.
