If you have decided what your new family dog will be, and you have decided on a Shih Tzu, then you will then need to find Shih Tzu breeders in your area. It is always a good idea to have more than one breeder to consider, as you want to feel totally comfortable with the breeder you are buying from because you will be dealing with that breeder for many years to come. A good relationship is important to a good ownership experience with your new Shih Tzu dog.
The first place you want to look for a reputable Shih Tzu breeder is with the National Kennel Club. The National Kennel Club is the standard used by any reputable breeder in the United States and other parts of the world and if a breeder is not listed with the National Kennel Club then chances are you do not want to deal with that breeder anyways.
The first place you should start is the National Kennel Club. The National Kennel Club is the registry for pretty much all of the reputable breeders in the United States and they will point you in the right direction. You can give the National Kennel Club a call at (865) 932-9680 and ask them to help you find the perfect Shih Tzu breeder in your area.
Sometimes even good Shih Tzu breeders are not listed with the National Kennel Club. While this is not unusual it has happened, and one way to find the Shih Tzu breeder closest to you is by using the Internet or by using your phone book.
It may be best to go with the Internet as it takes time to make a website and people with bad business practices usually do not take the time to create a detailed website.
Another great source of information for finding a good Shih Tzu breeder is your local vet. If you already have a vet for your current pets then ask your vet about getting in touch with a reputable breeder in your area. If you do not have a vet then find the vet closest to you and ask them their advice. If you have friends or family with pets then ask them to recommend a vet for you.
If you do have Internet access then another really great resource for finding good hih Tzu breeders is to find and participate with various Shih Tzu online chat rooms and message boards. Shih Tzu owners from all over the world participate in these forums and this is a great chance to get advice on a breeder and any other Shih Tzu advice you may be looking for.
A Shih Tzu breeder is just as important as the dog itself as your relationship with your breeder is very important to you and your dog. Make sure you take your time looking for the right breeder and also make sure you feel completely comfortable with the breeder you finally decide on. Your family's happiness, and your new puppy's life, depend on you choosing a good breeder.
