Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (long coat). Heath is a cute little chocolate and white shih tzu puppy, born 7/8/25. He has UABR (United All Breeds Registry) puppy papers. He was born in a commercial kennel, then consigned to a dog breeder auction as a prospective stud dog. Instead, he was purchased into rescue so he can spend his life in a lap rather than in a breeder's pen. He is initially shy but sweet and playful and good with other dogs. He is microchipped and has been vaccinated and wormed. Because he is too young to neuter, he will be placed with a neuter contract. When proof of surgery has been received, adopter will be mailed a rebate check for $50.00 His adoption fee is $450.00 If you would like to adopt Heath, email me at thistle88centurytel and request an application.

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.
