Young Adults Available
From time to time we have a beautiful young adult available to a forever home! Our adults have been raised in our homes and part of our families. Without any doubt the hardest part of breeding is parting with our adults- but we know that the alternative is to either quit breeding or have more dogs than we can properly care for. In our experience owning and breeding we have found many people and families who are actually better suited to an adult Shih Tzu. The majority of the hard work has already been done for you as our adults have been part of our families and always loved and cared for. Our dogs are always top quality beautiful purebred Shih Tzu, many with Champion bloodlines. They have always received good feed, regular vet care, professional grooming, have had some health screening related to breeding and were either bred by us, or chosen from quality reputable breeders. Our young adults will give your family the same love and joy they have given us! We do not sell our older puppies to other breeders, they are either already spayed/neutered or on a strict spay/neuter contract only.
All older puppies/ young adults receive a current vet check and are sold with a 30 day guarantee against life threatening un treatable genetic defects, so you are able to take them to your own vet. We can not guarantee potty training, socialization or training of any kind as dogs will behave in different environments and with different people. No other guarantees are made or implied.
Why a young adult?
1. Minimize the unknowns-Because are adults have been part of our family , health, size, personality, likes/dislikes of our adults are well known and we are best able to match them to their forever family. We also require all prospective to meet in person, so you are able to get a better idea of the individual dogs.
2. Bypass the puppy stage- Our adults have already all of their core shots, and are used to being groomed and seen by the vet as well. They are usually sleeping through the night and have had potty training to outside/inside. They will need further potty training in their new homes. Puppies are a lot of fun but they are also a lot of work and a young adult has had a lot of that hard work already done for you.
4. Young adults are much less expensive than our puppies -and have already had a lot of money put into them getting them ready for their new homes. Our adults typically cost us $2000-$4000 just to purchase and have had lots of time and money put into them. Our Shih Tzu typically retire at 3-5 years and considering the typical Shih Tzu lifespan is 12-18 years you are getting the majority of their lifespan with all of the hard work already done at a fraction of the price of one of our puppies!
5. Our young adults come currently vet checked, utd on shots, worming and flea prevention
Please note: Young Adults may take a little longer to transition to your home but once they have fully transitioned and gotten acclimated to your routine they will be able to fully trained much quicker than a young puppy. We would also recommend that you continue with training in the new home and recommend group training classes. An adult dog is NOT "easier" than a puppy, so if you do not have the time NOR patience to work with them then PLEASE do not contact me. I am sorry to sound rude, but it is very hard on all of us, the dogs included, when people only give a dog a few days to transition and then contact us saying "it is not working" or the dog "wants to go home". Please be prepared to commit 100%.

Laney is available to a forever pet home!
Please read the all of the information posted below about her before contacting us
Adoption fee $595
She has just been spayed, vet checked, microchipped, 5 way shot, freshly groomed, and has previously been to another vet for full vet check and eye treatment as well as Ophthalmologist to have her eyes evaluated
She is 4 years old, 11 pounds and she is blind
Laney is a beautiful 11 pound gold and white girl who has just turned 4 years old. She is looking for her forever companion home. Laney is BLIND and will need non-prescription eye drops ( you can get these from Amazon, CVS ect) for dry eye daily. She does not make tears so she needs eye drops to keep her eyes moist.
Now before the people come out with their pitchforks demanding to know why we are placing a blind dog, let me say that Laney has NEVER been part of our breeding program NOR is she our breeding. She was originally bred by a good breeder but ended up sold to a backyard breeder. I purchased her from this “breeder” who was selling Laney because she was supposedly retiring from breeding.
Laney was supposed to be 2 years old Champ line girl and pregnant with her first litter- instead she is actually 4, not pregnant, blind, and arrived in a condition which indicates both neglect and abuse. She was matted from head to toe, full of fleas, unsocialized, eyes caked and of course blind. I believe she lived in a dirt kennel outside for a number of years with little socialization and care. Though she had been passed around I don't believe she has ever had puppies.
I have spent months helping her to recuperate, when she came she was terrified of people and the most shut down dog I have met. As you can see in the videos below she has finally developed into a happy, loving and even playful girl. She is still shy, but I believe that with one on one attention she is going to make someone a wonderful and loving companion. She is good with other dogs, and seems to allow them to be her “eyes” but again would be better in a home where she could be with just another dog or two. I have taught her to walk on a leash, taken her to both the groomers and vets as well as car rides. Though she is shy her tail always wags and she wants to please. I believe if someone puts the time into her she will be an incredible companion and possibly therapy dog down the road. She has a lot of love to give and is very young. She is truly a gorgeous girl and if life had been different for her, she would have been a show quality dog that would cost thousands of dollars. Instead I am trying to recuperate most of her medical costs and find her a fabulous home. She has been blind for an extended period of time so most people can not even tell she is blind. Aside from needing daily eye drops to keep her eyes moist she needs no other special care. If interested please message. We will require and an adoption form and phone interview.
