The Chilier is an adorable mixed-breed dog that is a cross of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Chihuahua. As it's such a new breed, there are currently no established breeders of Chiliers in Canberra or the surrounding areas.
In this guide, we've given you tips and information on how to find a Chilier breeder in your area and how to make sure you avoid buying from puppy mills.
When buying Chiliers or any other dogs online, you must make sure you're buying from a breeder registered with the Australian Capital Territory's breeder register.
A reputable breeder is often a family business that runs a small kennel and is focused on raising high-quality, healthy dogs that are reared responsibly to give them the best possible start in life.
Responsible breed centres will make sure that all of their puppies are vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and vet-checked before they go to their new family. They will also often have the parents of their puppy's DNA tested to check for any genetic health issues.
Monteba operates as a small, dedicated breeder specializing in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed, wholeheartedly committed to the health and well-being of these charming canines. They may also possess valuable information on breeding Chiliers, an intriguing crossbreed, demonstrating their comprehensive knowledge and passion for these breeds.
The costs of a Chilier in Canberra can vary quite widely as Chiliers are a mixed breed. On average, you should expect to pay around $700 to $1,500 for a Chilier puppy. If a breeder is selling one for a lot less, you may be dealing with a puppy mill which should always be avoided.
Suppose you're buying from a reputable breed centre. In that case, you should receive paperwork that includes your puppy's age, date of birth, colour, breed, gender, vaccine status, country of origin and information about the business you're buying it from.
It is perfectly safe to buy Chilier puppies online as long as you thoroughly research the place you're buying them from. You need to ensure that they're registered to breed dogs in their state and that they're transparent with how their puppies have been raised.
The best way to protect yourself when buying dogs online is always to ask to meet the dog you're planning to buy before agreeing to do so. This will allow you to check that it's healthy and happy and that it has been raised correctly.
