Litter Description
Hello & welcome from our family to yours! Our story with Shih Tzus began about 4 years ago when my husband Joe surprised me with a beautiful little Shih Tzu named Bailey. Bailey was the runt of her litter from an Amish breeder, and from the moment we brought her home, she completely stole our hearts. Joe and I have been married since November of 2002 & have built a big loving family together with our 7 children: Tyler (1996), Karissa (2000), Mercedes (2002), Brenden (2003), Melissa “Missy” (2007), and Chloe (2012). We are a very close family, and sports — especially softball — have always been a huge part of our lives. Before Bailey, we already had our Alaskan Husky named Everest — just like the pup from Paw Patrol! Everest came into our lives after our daughter Missy won a bet with dad that if she hit a home run, she could get a Husky. Missy now plays college softball for the University of St. Francis, & we could not be prouder of her. A few years later, our youngest daughter Chloe hit her very first home run and also earned a puppy. She chose another Shih Tzu just like Bailey and named him “Bandit” after the Beverly Bandits travel softball organization. After a couple wonderful years with Bailey and Bandit, we were surprised and excited to learn that Bailey was expecting puppies! We decided not to spay or neuter after having a difficult experience many years ago with a previous family dog named Jax. Bailey gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies — 2 girls and 3 boys. From the beginning, these puppies have been raised right inside our home surrounded by love, family, & constant attention. Bailey has been an incredible mother, & both parents are affectionate, loving members of our family. The puppies have already been examined by our veterinarian alongside mom, have been dewormed, & will return for another wellness check, vaccinations, & clean bills of health before going to their forever homes. We have carefully weighed and monitored them every 2–3
Items Included: Vet checked, dewormed and shots up to date for 8 weeks old, clean bill of health and a small bag of puppy food

Puppy Description
Stripe is a special little Shih Tzu boy with a big personality packed into a tiny body. He got his name from the single stripe on his head that made him stand out from the moment he was born. As the runt of the litter, Stripe may be smaller than his brothers and sisters, but he never lets that slow him down. He is playful, confident, and keeps right up with the rest of the puppies without backing down. Stripe is incredibly loving and affectionate, always ready for cuddles, attention, and being close to his people. He has a sweet and caring temperament that makes everyone fall in love with him quickly. His combination of bravery, charm, and loving nature makes him truly one of a kind. He is being raised in our home with lots of love and socialization to help him grow into a happy and well-adjusted companion. Stripe has been vet checked, dewormed, and will be up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations before going to his forever home. Stripe will be ready to join his forever family after 8 weeks of age, and we are looking for a loving home where this little guy will be cherished like family.

Breed overview
Shih Tzu
A.K.A.: Lion Dog, Chrysanthemum Dog, Foo Dog, Xi Shi dog, Tibetan Temple Dog, Chinese Imperial Dog, Lhasa Lion Dog, Shitzu, Schipperke, Tzu, Shih Tzu Kou, Kou
Overview:
The Shih Tzu, affectionately known as the "lion dog," boasts an ancient and regal lineage, originating from the Tibetan plateau and further refined in imperial China. These charming canines are easily recognized by their striking appearance: a small, sturdy build, a distinctive undershot jaw, and a long, flowing double coat that often requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Temperamentally, Shih Tzus are renowned for being affectionate, outgoing, and playful companions, making them wonderfully suitable for a variety of households. Their adaptable and generally good-natured disposition means they often thrive in families with children and are particularly well-suited for apartment living due to their modest exercise requirements. While generally robust, potential owners should be aware of common breed-specific health concerns, including respiratory issues (due to their brachycephalic, or "smushed" face), eye conditions, and luxating patella. Despite these considerations, a Shih Tzu typically brings immense joy and companionship to their devoted owners.
