Meet Cider 🍎🐾 — Your Little Teddy Bear Shih Tzu!
Get ready to fall in love with Cider, an adorable teddy bear Shih Tzu with a whole lot of love to give! ❤️ This precious little boy is being raised right in our home, surrounded by the love, attention, and care that help puppies get the very best start in life. We believe raising a puppy is about so much more than being cute — it’s about building a strong foundation for a happy, confident, and well-adjusted companion.
🐾 Raised with Love & Intention
Cider is handled daily and receives early socialization and gentle desensitization to help him become comfortable with everyday sights, sounds, touch, and human interaction. Growing up in a dog trainer’s household means good habits start early! From day one, we incorporate age-appropriate lessons in house manners, handling, and positive routines to help set him up for a smooth transition into his forever home.
❤️ Healthy Start, Happy Heart
Cider has been dewormed according to his age and will come with his veterinary records, first vaccinations, ICA paperwork, and a puppy contract for added peace of mind.
🎁 A Little Something for His New Family
Every one of our puppies goes home with a special go-home package that includes a brand-new bag of food and a toy to make the transition to his new home a little easier.
🏡 Looking for His Forever Family
Cider is more than just an adorable teddy bear face — he’s a little companion being thoughtfully raised with love, care, and a foundation for lifelong success. If you’re looking for a precious new best friend to fill your home with cuddles, companionship, and unconditional love, Cider may just be the missing piece of your family! 🐶💕
📩 Message us to learn more about Cider and see if this sweet little boy is the perfect addition to your family. His forever home is out there, and we can’t wait to help him find it! 🍎❤

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Shih Tzu
Puppies
Is a Shih Tzu the right dog for me?
The Shih Tzu is small, popular, and friendly, so what more could you ask for in a companion dog? Their intelligence and loyalty, along with their independence, will have you cuddling up with this bunch of cheerfulness in no time. Full-grown, they typically weigh 9-16 pounds and stand 9-11 inches tall.
Do Shih Tzus do well in a busy household?
Shih Tzus are generally excellent with children of all ages. Shih Tzus are indoor dogs who get along with other pets very well and love to cuddle in your lap, making them great family companions. You would never want to limit these small dogs to just the outdoors. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
Are Shih Tzus couch potatoes or do they need a lot of exercise?
Shih Tzu need short, daily walk but should also occasionally be exercised indoors. They do not adapt to hot weather very well, so they must be a primarily indoor dog. Care must be taken not to over or under exercise them as well. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.
Is a Shih Tzu a good choice for someone with allergies?
Shih Tzus' long coat is somewhat high maintenance and requires everyday brushing to prevent tangles. These dogs should be taken to a professional groomer every couple of months. They are usually easier to maintain when their coats are clipped short, but you can't argue that those who have the long, dreamy coats are dramatic and eye catching. Grooming-wise, this breed is fairly high-maintenance. Shih Tzus are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
What should first-time owners know about Shih Tzus?
Shih Tzus are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. Since they are small, this breed can adapt to apartment living or a big house. Shih Tzus are indoor dogs who get along with other pets very well and love to cuddle in your lap, making them great family companions. They are fairly easy to train.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
