Nursery Announcements & Available Shih Tzu
To help control the unwanted pet population or policy is: "We do not sell stud dogs or brood bitches. We sell pet companion dogs to loving and good homes on a spay/neuter contract and show dogs to serious fanciers (interested in responsible animal husbandry practices with AKC purebred Shih Tzu who would like to contribute to the betterment of the breed) on a co-ownership until the AKC championship title is attained. We additionally serve to help rehome any Fantasy Shih Tzu as the need arises. We feel if every breeder provided this service, there would be a great decrease in unwanted/homeless/rescue Shih Tzu within the United States."
Be wary of middlemen/brokers, pet stores, and those who sensationalize advertisements such as "champion lines" from particular well known kennels and/or other countries, every color available, size, markings, etc" in newspapers, periodicals and on the web. These claims may or may not be true, all can be signs of a backyard breeder or puppy mill behind a profit making scheme without responsibilities taken for the security and welfare of the dogs/puppies they've produced and potentially of those for whom are in their own care. Please be sure to speak to the actual breeder, not a broker or middle man.
Thank you and we hope you visit us again very soon!

Under my hat!
I encourage you to visit the American Shih Tzu Club's website's 'Breed Standard,' 'Illustrated Standard' pages for a much more detailed written and pictorial description of proper Shih Tzu conformation. Please visit the many other educational pages as well on the site.
When selecting your next Shih Tzu from a breeder, we recommend learning as much about the breeder and the breeder's dogs as possible. This may include a visit to the breeder's home, any referral information about others with that breeder's dogs, a review of all documentation along with pedigrees. Any breeder should be willing to share information with you and a visit with at least the dam (and if possible sire) of the puppies. As with any purchase/adoption, if there is any hesitancy on your part, it usually is a sign to wait.
Please use this article and checklist as an aid to help you decide if you're ready for a new Shih Tzu:
