<p>Look at me! I am a Shih-Tzu puppy! My Mom is Peaches and my Dad is Royal. I was born on April 12th and I will be ready for my forever home on June 7th! I have been family raised on a mini farm in the country around children. I have had my shots and dewormers. I have been checked by a veterinarian. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Wilma Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.</p>
<p>I will come with my vet and shot/dewormer records and some of my current food, Royal Canin Dry Food, and a toy or blankie. </p>
<p>We would be happy to help you with setting up transportation and shipping of your puppy if needed at an additional cost.</p>
<p><strong>The delightful Shih Tzu is one of the 14 oldest dog breeds, and has been around for thousands of years. It is assumed that Tibetan monks bred them and then presented them as gifts to Chinese Royalty during the Ming Dynasty. This breed was not created to do anything but to be a companion, and to love and be loved. Shih Tzus are a loving, cheerful, and demonstrative breed with an extremely trusting nature, it knows no stranger. They can live in an apartment, or basically anywhere, and do best living indoors. Shih Tzus are great for new dog parents, and would adore a family, children, and even other dogs. Shih Tzus need early socialization and training or they can become withdrawn. They do suffer from extreme separation anxiety because they are mainly a companion breed, and it is vital they are with their owner. Due to their constant cheerful disposition they are great for being a therapy dog. However, because they are so intelligent they can be stubborn. Shih Tzus are the epitome of a lap dog, but do fine with little strolls outside. The Shih Tzu is a small breed and normally are 9-10 inches high and weigh typically 9-16 pounds, but they can put on weight easily. </strong></p>
