"Some
people dream of angels, I hold them in my arms"
Looking
for a Shih Tzu puppy?
A
Shih Tzu puppy or puppies is a huge commitment. make sure you and everyone
in your family is on board before you call or make the trip to a breeders
house.
I
do not place litter photos on my nursery page due to puppy millers stealing
my photos and selling them as their puppies. After I speak with you and I
feel you are a candidate for a Tian Mi Shih Tzu I will give you a user name
and password to view any babies I may have.
I
do not in any way advocate the sales of puppies via the internet. I believe
puppies should only be sold through a trusting relationship between myself
and the buyer. The internet is a wonderful thing in many ways but it can be
abused. Just as it is abused by predators hunting children it is also abused
by puppy mills looking to unload their latest harvest of puppies on
uneducated buyers. I allow puppies to go to new homes only after I feel very
comfortable knowing it is a warm, loving home that will provide the same or
better care than I would give.
On occasion I do have puppies offered as companions. I believe happy, clean, healthy
puppies make clean, happy , healthy companions for life. I only breed to
achieve quality Shih Tzu to
compete in the AKC conformation ring. Any puppies that don't quite make it
to the ring are sold as loving new additions to exceptional families, on a
spay neuter contract. . I have a lifetime commitment
to every puppy I breed, providing a safety net for the life of any Tian Mi
Shih Tzu.
I
do have rescue dogs from time to time. If you are interested in providing a
home for a rescued Shih Tzu that needs parents, please email or call. If you
know of a Shih Tzu that needs to be rescued, please contact me.
If
you are not willing to rescue, you should not breed!!!

is our home and I appreciate all who respect my right to have family time.
Please keep in mind, Florida is in the Eastern time zone.
Once
we speak and I am comfortable that you are a candidate for a Tian Mi puppy I
will give you the username and password to see the babies.

QUESTION AND ANSWERS
Thank
you to Carole for such great questions.
Vaccines, how many are given and how far apart and which
ones are administered. I start vaccines at 6 weeks.
6, 9, 12 and then rabies.
Do you give them or is it given by your vet. I
administer the puppy vaccines and the vet gives the last set so she can
add them to the health cert when I take them in. My puppies do not leave
until 12 weeks.
Deworming how many and at what age. I
start dewaorming at 4 weeks. Again at 6 and then I'm done. They are tested
when they are examined by my vet.
What are your thoughts on heartworm and flea prevention. All
of my dogs are
on Iverheart for heart worm and Advantix for fleas. You
should speak to your vet as to when you should start
Are they crate trained and potty trained to a certain
extent upon leaving for their forever homes. Puppies
start brief house training here. We start taking them out. Most of my
puppies when they go home never have an accident in their crates.
Which food do you feed them. Show
dogs get Wellness, House dogs get
Dick Van Patten, Puppies start on Eukanuba and
go to Dick Van Patten. There is a method to my madness.
Do all your babies have the ext flat faces,and cobby
bodies that I love. I breed for flat faces. My dogs
all have short noses not to extreme because that causes problems. As far
as coby bodies goes they are all different but NO I do not breed LONG Shih
Tzu.
How old are they when they are ready to go. 12
weeks
Do you have them neutered or spay before going to their
forever homes.If not,is it possible for it to be done before they leave
and the cost of this. My vet does not suggest spay
or neuter until about six months
What colors do you have or do you specialize in certain
ones. I normally have gold and whites and red and
whites. Sometimes bl / whites and solid black.

dont always breed every one each year. Depends on what I need to show.
