About Tinkerbell
All listing information is self-reported. Verify information before conducting business. Learn how to verify information before buying
Tinkerbell is my sweet darling girl that is a victim of broken pickups and extensions granted. She is a spunky runner, playful gal with the older dogs and 2 younger penmates. She loves time in your arms and lap. She plays well with an adult household. She does well with choosing her toys. We have started outside walks in the yard and going outside with older dogs for the outside potty experience. We are working on leash walking. Her first time out, when she meet the limits of the leash, she barely pulled on me. She has been out in the fence and loose in the yard with me and done well. She doesn't mind getting wet in the sprinkler. I believe she will do well with a senior family or family with children or single adult. She creates her own fun and is a joy to watch.
She is 9.8 pounds today, 8/3. According to my available chart, she has 1 month of growing to do so I am thinking 9 to 11pounds. She has a soft coat and lush tail.
She has completed her puppy shots, needs rabies though.
She is current on dewormings and will receive one the night before delivery. She is using Advantix II for flea and tick control. Our yard is treated every 2 months with granular bug killer.
She has an overbite. It doesn't affect her eating or drinking. I have to always give her treats with my fingers, not in a cupped hand.
She is eating Purina One Puppy, a few bowls of adult, chicken and rice. Evolve sweet potato and turkey or salmon or beef. I believe they prefer the Evolve.

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.
