Do you have a waiting list?
Sometimes we do have waiting lists. We will only make a waiting list if our females are expecting. If we are not expecting we will NOT take names. Please check our website for upcoming litters as well as our social media sites.
Do you offer home visits?
Due to serious outbreaks of the PARVO virus we are suspending all home visits. You will choose your puppies via Zoom (FaceTime), emails, texts and Videos.
Adoption will take place at a designated location, such as our personal vet.
Are your puppies registered?
All of our Sensational Shih Tzu puppies are registered. We are registered under AKC. We do offer Pet only and Full AKC.
Do you breed imperial Shih Tzu's?
We only breed standard size Shih Tzu's. According to AKC standards an adult size will be the following:
- Height: 9-10.5 inches
- Weight: 9-16 pounds
- Life Expectancy: 10-18 years
Do you offer shipping?
We do offer shipping within the US but we DO require a nanny to fly with your new puppy. The great news is that we are experienced in flying and delivering your precious bundle of love right to your loving arms. No need to hire a nanny when here at California Shih Tzu's we can be your breeder and nanny. Of course there is an additional fee and all states vary in pricing, Just shoot us an email and we can give you a quote.
Will my Shih Tzu require exercise? OR require a large yard
The Shih Tzu was bred to be a house companion. As such, they require minimal exercise. Short daily walks with their owner or indoor playtime will satisfy the activity needs of your royal companion. Again, as a small dog bred they spend most of their day inside royal palaces, such as your palace. Shih Tzu’s idea of fun is sitting in your lap acting adorable as you try to watch TV.
Are Shih Tzu's a good pet for apartment living?
As a small dog bred they make a great pet if you live in an apartment or lack space in your living area. BUT we can not stress enough to PLEASE check with your landlord for pet restrictions!
Do you offer boarding?
Yes, we do offer boarding! We understand that you just can't take your fur babies everywhere. Please give us a call/email and if the timing and circumstances are right we will board your bundle of love while you are gone. (fees will apply based on days, weeks, months).
Are Shih Tzu's good with children?
The Shih Tzu is known to be especially affectionate with children. As stated above your new addition will be socialized with both children, adults and other pets.
When Sensational Shih Tzus does not have available puppies, do you suggest other breeders?
Yes, when we can't provide a puppy, we recommend a select group of trusted breeders. Locally in California, we often refer families to Hugo and Gloria, in central California, and we also have recommended families to some of our favorites in Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.

We have been looking long and hard for a playmate for our 18-month old Shih Tzu, one who is located in Northern California.
