We encourage limited registration with our spayed and neutering purchase agreement. As you can see with our price differences, we give a huge incentive for “pet only” homes. We hope this will help keep our babies in loving homes, and cut down on unwanted puppies. All of our puppies are current on all age appropriate vaccinations and wormings. They also come with a 2 year health guarantee and health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Click To Learn Some Of The HEALTH BENEFITS OF SPAYING AND NEUTERING Typical costs: * The cost of neutering a dog at a Human Society or at a low-cost clinic can range from $45 to $135, depending on the weight of the dog. The cost of spaying, a more complicated surgery, usually ranges from about $50 to $175. * Some clinics and animal hospitals can charge up to $200-$300 or more, depending on the weight of the dog. * The cost of both neutering and spaying vary greatly by geographic region, and even by veterinarian. http://www.costhelper.com/cost/pets/spay-neuter-dog.html SHIH~TZU HERNIA and PINCHED NOSTRILS Please keep us posted on how you and your puppy are doing.

Shih Tzu Breed Standard
Toy Group
General Appearance
The Shih Tzu is a sturdy, lively, alert toy dog with long flowing double coat. Befitting his noble Chinese ancestry as
a highly valued, prized companion and palace pet, the Shih Tzu is proud of bearing, has a distinctively arrogant
carriage with head well up and tail curved over the back. Although there has always been considerable size
variation, the Shih Tzu must be compact, solid, carrying good weight and substance.
Even though a toy dog, the Shih Tzu must be subject to the same requirements of soundness and structure
prescribed for all breeds, and any deviation from the ideal described in the standard should be penalized to the
extent of the deviation. Structural faults common to all breeds are as undesirable in the Shih Tzu as in any other
breed, regardless of whether or not such faults are specifically mentioned in the standard.
Size, Proportion, Substance
Size - Ideally, height at withers is 9 to 10½ inches; but, not less than 8 inches nor more than 11 inches. Ideally,
weight of mature dogs, 9 to 16 pounds. Proportion - Length between withers and root of tail is slightly longer than
height at withers. The Shih Tzu must never be so high stationed as to appear leggy, nor so low stationed as to
appear dumpy or squatty. Substance - Regardless of size, the Shih Tzu is always compact, solid and carries good
weight and substance.
Head
Head - Round, broad, wide between eyes, its size in balance with the overall size of dog being neither too large
nor too small. Fault: Narrow head, close-set eyes. Expression - Warm, sweet, wide-eyed, friendly and trusting. An
overall well-balanced and pleasant expression supersedes the importance of individual parts. Care should be
taken to look and examine well beyond the hair to determine if what is seen is the actual head and expression
rather than an image created by grooming technique. Eyes - Large, round, not prominent, placed well apart, looking
straight ahead. Very dark. Lighter on liver pigmented dogs and blue pigmented dogs. Fault: Small, close-set or
light eyes; excessive eye white. Ears - Large, set slightly below crown of skull; heavily coated. Skull - Domed. Stop
- There is a definite stop. Muzzle - Square, short, unwrinkled, with good cushioning, set no lower than bottom eye
rim; never down turned. Ideally, no longer than 1 inch from tip of nose to stop, although length may vary slightly in
relation to overall size of dog. Front of muzzle should be flat; lower lip and chin not protruding and definitely
never receding. Fault: Snipiness, lack of definite stop. Nose - Nostrils are broad, wide, and open. Pigmentation -
Nose, lips, eye rims are black on all colors, except liver on liver pigmented dogs and blue on blue pigmented dogs.
Fault: Pink on nose, lips, or eye rims. Bite - Undershot. Jaw is broad and wide. A missing tooth or slightly misaligned
teeth should not be too severely penalized. Teeth and tongue should not show when mouth is closed. Fault:
Overshot bite.
Neck, Topline, Body
Of utmost importance is an overall well-balanced dog with no exaggerated features. Neck - Well set-on flowing
smoothly into shoulders; of sufficient length to permit natural high head carriage and in balance with height and
length of dog. Topline - Level. Body -Short-coupled and sturdy with no waist or tuck-up. The Shih Tzu is slightly
longer than tall. Fault: Legginess. Chest -Broad and deep with good spring-of-rib, however, not barrel-chested.
Depth of ribcage should extend to just below elbow. Distance from elbow to withers is a little greater than from
elbow to ground. Croup - Flat. Tail - Set on high, heavily plumed, carried in curve well over back. Too loose, too
tight, too flat, or too low set a tail is undesirable and should be penalized to extent of deviation.
Forequarters
Shoulders - Well-angulated, well laid-back, well laid-in, fitting smoothly into body. Legs - Straight, well-boned,
muscular, set well-apart and under chest, with elbows set close to body. Pasterns - Strong, perpendicular.
Dewclaws - May be removed. Feet - Firm, well-padded, point straight ahead.
Hindquarters
Angulation of hindquarters should be in balance with forequarters. Legs - Well-boned, muscular, and straight when
viewed from rear with well-bent stifles, not close set but in line with forequarters. Hocks - Well let down,
perpendicular. Fault: Hyperextension of hocks. Dewclaws - May be removed. Feet - Firm, well-padded, point
straight ahead.
Coat
Coat - Luxurious, double-coated, dense, long, and flowing. Slight wave permissible. Hair on top of head is tied up.
Fault: Sparse coat, single coat, curly coat. Trimming - Feet, bottom of coat, and anus may be done for neatness
and to facilitate movement. Fault: Excessive trimming.
Color and Markings
All are permissible and to be considered equally.
Gait
The Shih Tzu moves straight and must be shown at its own natural speed, neither raced nor strung-up, to evaluate
its smooth, flowing, effortless movement with good front reach and equally strong rear drive, level topline,
naturally high head carriage, and tail carried in gentle curve over back.
Temperament
As the sole purpose of the Shih Tzu is that of a companion and house pet, it is essential that its temperament be
outgoing, happy, affectionate, friendly and trusting towards all.
