Litter and program updates

Getting a puppy from Hang

Hang has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices range from $3,000 - $3,800 and include a non-refundable deposit of $800.

“Price is firmed and non-negotiable. We want to make this a stress free enjoyable experience for you. We will keep you up to date with information about your puppy as it grows until it is time for your puppy to go to its new home. A $800 non-refundable puppy reservation fee secures your place in line for one of our adorable Shih Tzu puppies, guaranteeing your commitment to welcome a new furry family member. This fee is a testament to the seriousness of your intent and is deducted from the total adoption fee. The remaining balance is due on the day of puppy pick-up, ensuring a seamless transition and the beginning of a lifelong bond with your new Shih Tzu companion. Unless there is a problem with the health of your puppy. In that case, the buyer will have their choice of a full refund or of transferring that deposit toward another puppy.”

Hang may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.
