Buyer’s Guide
Nationally, prices usually range from $1,500 to $2,500. While it may cost more up front, starting with a healthy puppy can help you avoid costly issues later. These ranges reflect the care behind responsible breeding and offer a reliable view of what ethical breeding really costs.
About the Shih Tzu
Both glamorous and cute, the diminutive Shih Tzu commands attention wherever it goes. They’re playful and perky, tiny but tough companions for people of all ages. Don’t be misled by that baby-doll face; Shih Tzus are surprisingly impish and ready to make their own adventure. They’ve been among America’s favorite breeds for years, and with typical Shih Tzu stubbornness, have no intention of stepping down.
