Before buying a dog, educate yourself about Shih Tzus all you can. Talk to the breeders you manage to contact and find out what are the issues regarding their purpose for breeding, and the parents' pedigrees and titles if there are any. Note that the more champion initials the parents and their ancestors have before their names the better.
It may be that you will want to show your Shih Tzu. In this case buying from a breeder who actively participates in dog shows makes a lot of sense. Take up the option of meeting the dam and the sire. If the sire is not available, ask for pictures and videos. They will give you an idea what appearance the puppy you are aiming at is likely to have in the future. A reputable breeder will honestly inform you on all the aspects of owning Shih Tzus.
It is recommended to test the breeding stock for luxating patellas. Responsible breeders of Shih Tzus also inform buyers on the health problems the breed is prone to. The Shih Tzu can suffer from kidney and eye disorders, dysplasia, and some other conditions. Ask for advice on tooth care. Breeders can also teach you the fundamentals of grooming the Shih Tzu. Responsible breeders care for the future of their puppies. They are going to assist you in raising your Shih Tzus for the first months of their life in your home.
