There are also Shih Tzu rescues just for Shih Tzus and Shi Tzu mixes. When you find a likely kennel offering Shih Tzu puppies for sale or a rescue that has older puppies, you should never be asked for monetary information first. When you do find the right Shih Tzu puppies for sale expect to be quizzed thoroughly by the breeder or shelter worker about your knowledge of Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu puppy care.
The biggest reason dogs and older puppies are abandoned is that their owners did not take the time to find out about the breed. A Shih Tzu breeder or rescue shelter will let you know right away that the time to grooming Shih Tzus is intense.
Pick up the phone and give the National Kennel Club a call at (865) 932-9680 and ask them to help you find the best possible Shih Tzu breeder in your area.
If you already have a vet for your current pets then ask your vet about getting in touch with a reputable breeder in your area. The Internet is a fantastic tool for networking with other people and another way you can find good Shih Tzu breeders in your area is to scout the various Internet message boards and chat rooms that deal with Shih Tzu dogs and breeders.
Making sure you find a good Shih Tzu breeder to get your first Shih Tzu from is very important and finding a good breeder could mean the difference between a happy life with your dog and a miserable one.
