ANNE'S PUPPIES breeds only SHIH TZU
Anne, my mother, started breading over 52 years ago and I have followed in her foot steeps. I am a Shih Tzu Specialist. We only raise Shih Tzu. Anne wanted the best and gave the best. She was a strong willed woman who knew what she was doing and has passed her knowledge down to her daughter. Born in 1965, daughter has excelled to learn even more and it is a never ending process. I was 4 years old when I saw My first Shih Tzu. We love what we do; each puppy is our baby first! If you get one of our babies fell blessed because not everyone dose! This is a labor of love, long hours and hard work. God has given us the strength to do this everyday of our life. I want to place my babies in good responsible homes!
Being a prodigy of a wonderful breeder, my mom, Anne's Puppies. I have learned may do's and don't. You put more time into the puppy, you will get more benefits out of them when they get older. A puppy's sole purpose is to please you, love you and be a companion to you for many years.
Our Shih Tzu exsperience; a stress-free environment play relaxing music, provide , give mother time to teach their young, change environments, stairs, mirrors, and Vacuuming and making, pop- corn, laughing and even learning to play with toys are daily routine for our puppies..
I even sleep with the dogs and puppies. My purpose is to provide you with the best possible pet; I can.
Did you know this about Shih Tzu?
Knowledge is Power
- A Shih Tzu Is a short nose breed -making the Shih Tzu's face a concern to check often .
- Check eyes daily...Very easy for this breed to get eye injury's or third eye lid to get infected.
- Shih Tzu puppies should not be given pills at any age, but especially not before 16 weeks. Pills should be crushed and given with a capsule or sprinkled on small amount of food. Never make it into a meatball shape. That could get caught in the shih Tzu small esophagus.
- Puppies need lots of sleep and safety. Up to 15-20 hours depending on age.
- Shih Tzu retain baby teeth, often have over crowed, usually under bitted, get tarter build up and need to be brushed or scaled regularly. Remove baby teeth at sterilization time.
- Shih Tzu can be stubborn, So a constant routine of potty-training needs to be followed, but once mastered-becomes a breeze
- You should not breed your pet- Shih Tzu. Mother Shih Tzu need professional help birthing. Should never be left alone on their own when pregnant. Many problems can arise and someone with experience should always be there. Birthing can kill mother and or babies.
- Shih Tzu must be kept warm core temp of 102 o. Use a Heating pad should be used all the time in winter,
- Shih Tzu can catch colds easily. Antibiotics can help, but sometimes it must run it's course. Puppies before first shot have very little amenity to diseases.
- Kennel Cough is cached easily and sounds horrible, but in about 2 weeks will be gone. Hardest on Young puppies and older dogs.
- Shih Tzu should not be fenced in with invisible fence, because other larger dogs can still get in and hurt or kill your little fluff ball.
- Shih Tzu reverse sneezing, it looks like they are chocking or can not catch their breath. Just calm them down it will pass quickly.
- Shih Tzu love to be taken outside for walks. However, they can get enough exercise in an apartment if not able to go out. Shih Tzu will run around chasing nothing for 15 minutes a day, inside and get their daily exercise themselves.
- They love to howl which is very common in a packs and are very happy when companion comes home..
- Our Shih Tzu will fetch and can be easily trained for obedience and other fun activities.
- Start early training for leash and potty. It is worth the extra effort it takes because one they got it down they will not forget.
- When you buy from a dedicated breeder, who is breeding for future, you have a chance to acquire a well-bred, professionally raised puppy. Ours get socialized, use stairs, look in mirrors and are given affection every day.
- Hair around the eyes should be pushed forward daily and sleepiness should be cleaned out. They can see, threw it. The hair helps protect the eyes from dust and banging into things. So please do not cut wishers or lashes, because it helps them protect there eyes and face.
- Do not be in a hurry. Reputable breeders do not have puppies available all the time, but our puppies will be worth the wait and can watch them grow in the nursery with weekly pictures and up dates..
- Shih Tzu think they can Fly- they have confidence, are usually not afraid to explore and jump off high things. They can hurt themselves just from being to confident. So when younger always keep an eye on them.
- Worms are very common and need to be done several times a year and a once year (5 way) booster. 1 st shot and worming will be done before you take a puppy home.
- Shih Tzu some-times need a little honey on there tongue, if they seem week or not eating. They often get low blood sugar. Ours do not have this problem usually, but is good to keep in mind. When needed.
- Take the same amount of time in finding a good .....veterinarian I have heard so many horror stories including death. Find A veterinarian that cares about you and your puppy.

Daughter will follow in her footsteps My Kennel is Sonshine Shih Tzu!!!!
My friends say , "I have a Dog Kennel in my Kitchen". There is always a dog under our feet, in our bed, begging for a treat and even in our shower. Our dogs all have a den. Each den has a doggie door to go in and out as they please. Puppies are caged for their safety. EVERY puppy is socialized , played with daily. They even welcome everyone who enter and leave my home. None of my dogs are shaved down to the skin. I spend many hours keeping my dogs clean and groomed. I am proud of my efforts. It takes many- many hours to see they are in tip-top shape for all of us to enjoy their beauty and companionship.
We also have many retired Shih Tzus that are still part of our family. When I rescue a dog, I will have it up for adoption only after vet care has been completed. I would gladly take back any Shih Tzu that needed a home. In fact, I prefer you bring our dogs back to us then any where else. So none of our dogs will end up in a pound, mill or neglected in any way. I have a surrender put into the bottom of our contracts. This surrender is done freely. We will find a good home for your pet. I get dozens of calls from individuals just wanting someone to love.
We want you to feel secure your getting a companion from a loving, caring, inspected, clean and healthy home. To the best of my knowledge, I do not know of anyone else who has gone to the measures; we have, to insure you receive the best.
