We try to keep our prices reasonable. We raise Shih Tzus because we love them
and want to share that love with others. We do, however, have to stay in
business. I am a scientist; therefore, I use a formula to figure the price of each
puppy. These prices range from $500 to $1,000 for limited American Kennel Club
registration. Of note, these prices are lower than what was paid for any of our
dogs. We are trying to keep our prices lower because of the current economic
conditions, but our costs have risen as well. We are charging exactly the same as
we did seven years ago.
I occasionally have puppies that I feel are worthy of Full Registration; that is, that
their quality is such that they could be used for breeding purposes. When I have
such puppies they will be offered with Full Registration to approved breeders,
only! I, and only I, will make that determination! Full AKC registration is an
additional fee of $250.
No one can guarantee the size of a puppy; therefore I do not charge more for the
tiny ones. If you search the Internet, you will find that most breeders do.
Asking for the rarer colors significantly increases the price of a puppy. The rare
colors being livers, cremes and blues. My liver dogs cost me twice what my
others did. That is why the difference in pricing.
We have a waiting list for certain puppies. If you would like to be placed on our
waiting list, please click on the link to contact me and let me know what you want.
When a litter is born; I will have first choice, then we will go to our waiting list
before the puppies are offered to the public.
We do offer shipping of our puppies. Rarely do our puppies have to go in cargo.
My one sister travels a great deal and usually can take them with her on the
plane. Shipping is a fixed fee of $250. That fee includes all expenses.
Repeat customers receive a $100 discount on their puppy.
