Article Title: Finding Shih Tzu Puppies For Sale That Doesn't
Support Puppy Mills
Author: Rebecca A Simpson
Looking for your first Shih Tzu and never had a dog before? The
best place for you to find Shi Tzu puppies for sale is from AKC
licensed breeders, which will give you advice along with a
healthy, happy puppy. The adoption process for a Shih Tzu rescue
puppy, or for buying Shih Tzu puppies for sale from a breeder,
should take a while. This is to be sure you will not abandon the
dog in the future. The biggest reason Shih Tzus are abandoned is
because their owners did not take the time to learn about Shih
Tzu puppy care. Shelters and breeders will help you with all of
your Shih Tzu questions, long after you take the puppy home.
Are you looking for Shih Tzu puppies for sale? If you care
about animals, you will not get Shih Tzu puppies or even
supplies from any pet shop that sells puppies. These stores have
most likely been supplied by inhumane puppy mills that are often
located in a different state. On a more immediate level, Shih
Tzu puppies offered for sale in pet stores are often sickly,
untrained and do not offer you any help once you get the pup
home.
Your best bet for an ethical way to get a Shih Tzu pup is by
putting your name on the waiting list of a local Shih Tzu
breeder, or going to your local animal shelter. There are also
Shih Tzu rescues just for Shih Tzus and Shi Tzu mixes. For a
shelter near you, go to the US Shi Tzu Rescue website. Keep in
mind that adoption fees for Shih Tzu puppies are usually more
than for Shih Tzu adults, and can be a couple of hundred
dollars, depending on the shelter.
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. You should have to fill
out an electronic adoption form, or some other form of
application. If you don't fill out this form, a reputable
breeder or rescue will never get back to you. They need to know
just as much about you as you need to know about them.
Why all the fuss and time? They do this to be sure you are
matched with a puppy that matches your personality and
lifestyle. They also want to know and help you with all of your
questions on Shih Tzu puppy care so your puppy has a forever
home with you. The biggest reason pets are abandoned is that the
owners didn't know what they were getting into before they
brought the pet home.
Shih Tzu breeders tend to be small, as they are usually inside
someone's home. Your breeder might not have Shih Tzu puppies for
sale right at that moment. You are able to go check out the
kennel and meet the potential parents and relatives of your
prospective pup so you get a good idea of their personality. You
should also be able to see the health certificates of the
parents or, technically, the sire and dam.
Shih Tzu breeders will usually do all of the registration for
you, and offer you a list of great resources on Shih Tzu puppy
care that they recommend. Some Shih Tzu breeders will try and
answer all of your questions – but if they don't know the
answer, they should admit it and point you in the right
direction. They may even be able to recommend a dog trainer and
vet in your area. They are an invaluable support system in your
adventure with a Shih Tzu puppy.
