Websites like "puppyfind" or "pets4homes" have some listed for sale, or at the least will have information on breeders you can contact. Alternatively, you may want to have a look at your local shelter and rescue one. Not only will this save you money you will be giving a home to a dog that needs it.
It means it should go to the vet ASAP.
It totally depends! It depends on what your talking about. It varies for color, size, gender, and if they were bred as champions. The average cost for a Shih Tzu can be anywhere from $300-$900. And with Shih Tzu's you want to go on the higher end. The lower end may not be pure bred or completely healthy. I hope this helped you! If you google Shih Tzus it will give you the info you want when looking for one and important things you need to know. :) Good luck!!
I guess it all depends on which dog because one shih-tzu can be different from the other. I have a shih-tzu and he is wonderful. My kids love him. Although if he is trying to sleep and they go to pick him up he growls but most dogs do too. It just depends on the age of the kids and which dog u get. Let them choose a young one. Make sure u train it well!
Despite their small and furry bodies, Shih Tzu's can run fairly fast. They can run between six and eight miles an hour.
I would say those harnesses that go around their belly because when you are walking your Shih-Tzu and you tug him or her, it won't choke the puppy. The harnesses that go around their neck do tend to choke the dog.

If you're breeding, a shih tzu should be able to go to a new home when he / she is 8 - 12 weeks old (I suggest 12, this way they no longer need their mother for nursing).
by giving cold bath and give lots of care and feed it every day after getting some food inside your dogs body go to a park and jog with the dog you welcome.
A Shih-Tzu will be in heat if they lack of water. For example, when you are walking your Shih-Tzu you need to bring a bottle if water for your dog. Sink water preferable. You can also tell if your Shih-Tzu is in heat by seeing if he or she is sticking its tongue out. Running and playing can lead to heat and giving the dog water after she or he plays is preferable.
It's spelled Shih tzu. Go online and look for shih tzu rescue groups near you. DO NOT go to a pet store! These are most likely puppy mill dogs. Their poor parents are in cages all their lives and the puppies usually end up with health and/or behavioral problems as a result of inbreeding.
Good question, my breeder actually gave me the papers to register my Shih Tzus, but you can go on the AKC website, and print off the registrations papers, or they will send you them. Good luck!
Hey, You don't have to have a fancy name for a Maltese Shih Tzu mix... Most of the time breeders refer to them as a; Maltese Shih Tzu If you really want to, you can shorten the two names to come up with something like; Maltzu, or Maltshih... I would go with Maltese Shih Tzu as it is a more well-known name... But it is your choice... Hope this helps ;) when i got my dog from a long island breeder she called her a shi-malt
