Questions & Answers
Many factors can affect Shitzu puppy price you see online. Some breeds vary based on their size, coat color, eye color, gender, and even the breeder’s experience. You may even see teacup Shitzu puppies or toy Shitzu puppies for sale, which some breeders may charge extra money for. Then there are also Shitzu mix puppies for sale, like Shitzu maltese mix puppies, a Shitzu Bichon puppy, etc.

All in all, Shih Tzus are pretty easygoing and aren’t too fussy about where they live! As long as your pooch is getting regular light exercise and lots of affection, he’ll be one happy camper.

When you conduct your puppy search in the Uptown Network, you’re getting access to a nationwide pack of some of the top breeders and businesses around. No puppies available nearby? No problem. Businesses and breeders in the network can arrange travel for your doggo to your most convenient major airport.
Puppy scammers are all over the place, so we’ve adopted strict screening standards that only allow 10% of applicants to make it into our network. Have a look at our comprehensive Breeder Pledge to see exactly what traits make up an exceptional breeder—and what to expect when you choose a breeder listed in our network.
Puppy mills and scammers are flourishing online, so we wanted to create a place that really rewards ethical breeders. At Uptown, you and your family are only connecting with the best breeders and businesses (unlike your typical online search, where every breeding operation has a chance to catch your attention...even the bad ones).
A puppy mill is sort of like a factory...except instead of producing phones or paper, it produces dogs. Puppy mills are horrible, and focus 100% on profits instead of taking care of their dogs. When you buy a Shitzu puppy for sale from a mill, your dog has a higher chance of needing expensive veterinary treatment, and may even have a shorter life expectancy than normal.
No matter what type of Shih Tzu puppy you’re looking for, there’s great news—your dream dog is just a few clicks away. Take a look at some of our preferred partner breeders/businesses, connect, and get ready to meet the puppy your family has always wanted. But act fast—new puppies get adopted in the blink of an eye.
The Shih Tzu is a tiny little companion dog with mysterious origins. Some say it was bred by Tibetan monks for Chinese royalty, but whatever its origin, the Shih Tzu is ancient—one of the oldest breeds in the world, in fact. Today, the Shih Tzu is one of the most popular toy breeds, and it’s easy to see why. People have also created many Shih Tzu hybrid breeds, such as Maltese Shitzu puppies for sale.
