- Health Testing
We take the health of our Shih Tzus seriously. Before breeding, each dog undergoes comprehensive health testing to ensure they are free from genetic conditions such as hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, and breathing issues. Our Shih Tzu puppies are bred with careful attention to their overall health and well-being. - Socialization
Shih Tzus are known for their friendly, affectionate nature, and we make sure our puppies are well-socialized from an early age. Raised in a family environment, our Shih Tzus interact with children, other pets, and various household sounds to ensure they grow up confident and comfortable in their new homes. - Breed Standards
We breed Shih Tzus that meet the recognized breed standards, ensuring they have the right size, coat texture, and temperament. Each of our Shih Tzus is carefully selected for their compatibility with family life, health, and overall appearance.
