Prices quoted are for limited registration. This means that the puppy can not be used for breeding. Full registration is not available. A non-refundable deposit of $200 will hold a puppy. The balance of the price of the puppy is due at the time the puppy is 8 weeks old. Personal checks will be accepted for deposits and for balances if payment is made prior to the puppy's pick up. Balance paid at time of puppy pick up should be in the form of cash or bank certified cashier's check. Please make checks and drafts out to Jill Manser.
You are welcome to make an appointment to visit our puppies and their parents. I do not ship puppies however, some airlines allow puppies to travel as a carry on if you would like to personally fly your puppy home.
Each puppy comes with
AKC registration papers,
puppy care package,
and is up to date on its vaccinations and preventive puppy health care.
Each puppy is also examined by our licensed veterinarian before going to your home.
Most puppies are ready to go to their new home at 8 weeks of age but a final adoption age is based on the individual readiness of the puppy.
*What's in your puppy's care package

Items you may want to purchase before you pick up your puppy
* Puppy food .. Costco Natures Domain Puppy Food is what your puppy has been eating. I recommend a diet that is grain free.
* Non porous, non tipping food and water bowl.
* Crate .. If you get the wire type you can get one that will fit your adult shih tzu .. get a crate that comes with a dividing panel so you can make it smaller while house training. Many of the wire crates easily fold down flat and are carried like a suitcase.
* Light weight buckle type collar and light weight leash.
* ID tag
* Puppy shampoo
* Brushes and combs. Many Shih Tzu people like the slicker brush .. my dogs prefer to be groomed with a comb. You will find what works best for you.
* Nail clippers
* Deodorizing cleaning supplies, paper towels and puppy pads or newspaper.
* Chew toys
* Some people really like using an exercise pen. This can be set up and used in a variety of ways. It can be used to confine your puppy to an area you would like for him to use as a potty area. Once he gets a bit more trust worthy in his house training, it can be used in your home to give him more freedom to play, but still keeps him from wandering around and possibly getting himself into puppy mischief. These exercise pens are relatively inexpensive and easy to handle.
