Before you call a Shih Tzu breeder
- Health results for both parents. Good Shih Tzu breeders test for patellas, an eye exam and kidney screening, and show you the paperwork.
- See the mother with the litter, in person or on a live video call, not only photos.
- A real breeder asks you questions about your home and schedule, and often has a waitlist.
- Never wire money or pay with gift cards or crypto before you have seen the puppy. That is how most puppy scams work.
