Why Choose Puppy Petite For Shih Tzus?

Careful Puppy Matching

While our silky coat Shih Tzu puppies come in a variety of colors, including white, brown and white, black and white, red and white tricolor, and some solid colors, we always prioritize personality matching as well. Our experts can help you choose the right companion based on your home, lifestyle, and specific needs.

AKC standards are a start, but we also go further. Our ethical breeding practices include accurate health records for all puppies and their parents, based on regular and meticulous veterinary examinations.

Toy Breed Experts

Looking for the perfect tiny pup? We're no Facebook breeder—we've been breeding tiny dogs for decades, and know exactly how Shih Tzus, Yorkies, Maltese, and other dogs tick based on years of hands-on experience.

Well-Socialized Pups

Prior to turning 8 weeks old, our Shih Tzu puppies experience training and playtime with their caretakers, siblings, and parents. This exposure helps them develop into confident, well-socialized dogs.

Shih Tzu Puppies: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ship my NYC Shih Tzu puppy to me?

No, we do not ship our Shih Tzu puppies. For their health and safety, you must pick your puppy up in person at our NYC location. If you’d like to coordinate a pick-up time or see our adorable Shih Tzu puppies, call us at 718.306.4136 or email puppypetite@aol.com. We’re open seven days a week, from 11 am to 9 pm.

Shih Tzus are a very sweet and child-friendly toy breed with a wonderful disposition, and for people who have allergies, they are also non-shedding and hypoallergenic. However, committing to a puppy is also a lot of work. Like human babies, they can’t be left alone and need round-the-clock attention and care. Don’t worry, though – with a little housebreaking and training, you’ll have a well-behaved companion in no time.

Most of our standard Shih Tzu puppies end up weighing between 8–12 lbs at maturity, while toy varieties are 5–7 lbs full-grown.

Shih tzu puppies have an average lifespan of 12–16 years.

To successfully potty-train your Shih Tzu puppy, it is crucial to maintain patience and consistency. It takes time to teach them where to go—whether on a pad or outside—and redirection is always more effective than punishment. Show them where to use the bathroom every single day. This could mean taking them outside in the morning, at lunchtime, and in the evening. The most crucial element is consistency. With practice and time, your Shih Tzu puppy will learn.

Where do your Shih Tzu puppies come from?

At our shop, we work with a team of dedicated breeders who raise dogs within the home. This means that our Shih Tzu puppies grow up in a loving and social environment that ensures a friendly and well-balanced personality.

Absolutely! Rest assured that every single one of our breeders is fully registered with the USDA.

Pricing for our Shih Tzu puppies is based on the breed and litter. For detailed information on prices and availability, please don’t hesitate to contact us at puppypetite@aol.com.
