About Duke

Duke has a beautiful “dark knight” Teddy bear face appearance with a super silky straight lush coat and a wonderfully friendly disposition. He has a sweet personality. He is ready for snuggles on the couch as he is-for playtime in the yard. He’s super pretty with a tiny white spot on his chest that could possible go away. He does have a small bald spot on his head where I cut a tangle to close to the skin but this is cosmetic and will grow back. Both his parents are dna and health tested and are AKC registered. He is being sold as a pet only to a companion home with a neuter contract and no registration papers unless otherwise noted on contract.
He has been started on an eating/sleeping/potty routine and crate training has been started which makes potty training a breeze for you and you will need to finish this. We do suggest you put them on your schedule and what works for you. He will come with up to date puppy shots, a health exam, shot record and be microchipped. All our puppies are microchipped with the number included to you. We are happy to provide a lifetime of support to you and love hearing from our owners. All of our babies are well loved and socialized when they come to you. We do place as pet only in a companion home with no breeding rights with a spay/neuter contract and no registration papers unless otherwise discussed and noted on contract.
All puppies come home with the following:
Microchip
a blanket or toy with moms scent
A collar ( I recommend a harness)
Sample of food
Puppy Treats
Puppy pads
Sample of Nuvet/ordering info
30 days of free trupanion health insurance
minimum of 2 puppy shots
shot record provided to you
health exam by veterinarian
We can make some Amazon recommendations for anything you think you might need. We do a $300 non refundable deposit to hold with difference due at pickup or before delivery.
We are happy to answer any questions or schedule a visit or FaceTime with you and the puppy. Have a blessed day.

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.
