Kennel Club Breed info: Full Advert Details
The last little boy from our litter of 7 beautiful Shih Tzu’s is looking for a loving home. The buyer he had lined up fell through as she is returning to work full time.
We had 4 girls and 3 boys . Mum is our family pet, and a therapy dog for my daughter. Her litter was bread due to her loving and docile temperament. 3 of this litter are also going to support neurodivergant owners.
Rocco is very loving and smart. He is trained to pee on pads/garden and takes himself off to bed in the evening. He is a human lover and likes nothing more than kisses and cuddles and would be suited to any loving household!
Both Mum and Dad are standard Size Shih Tzu’s. This means they were not bread to reduce their size in the same way ‘imperials’ have been thus reducing the risk of future health concerns. Both Mum and Dad have been vet checked and puppies will be as soon as they are old enough.
Both Mum and Dad are KC registered and the litter has been registered too. This means all puppies will come with 5 generation pedigree as well as our puppy pack, and 5 weeks free health insurance as well as microchipped, up to date flea and worm treatment and first round of vaccinations. We understand there are concerns over the Leptospira vaccine so will vaccinate each puppy in accordance to the new owners wishes (As Rocco has had his first vaccination of L2, we will also vaccinate on 21st June if still here).
We will endeavour to toilet train on puppy pads (some are already getting it at 4 weeks, others not so much 🤣) and will work hard to make sure they are socialised & and exposed to different sights/sounds etc.
Appreciate viewing is difficult right now as the government still aren’t allowing mixing of households. We will take deposits of £400 to secure pup & boy/girl & happy to arrange zoom/FaceTime viewings as often as you need. Ideally, we’d like puppy choices to be made on the characteristics to fit in with the owner's lifestyle and family/pets rather
than just ‘colour’.
The deposit can be refunded if the new owners have any concerns once viewed in person & these can take place after May 17th. Pups will be ready to go to their new homes from Friday 28th May (8 1/2 weeks) but we are happy to keep Puppies as long as is suitable for their new household. With the current uncertainty, we would also be willing to help ‘holiday house’ the puppy if potential owners have any holidays booked within 6 months of sale as we appreciate it takes time to find the right host/boarders/kennels in your area and this year has so much uncertainty with regards to travel, and we would welcome any visits from Jasmine’s litter at a significantly less cost than boarding.
Pups will leave with a puppy pack including record of birth, weight & worming chart (they will be wormed at 3 weeks, 5 and 8 weeks (as they were too small to safely worm at 2 weeks).
Finally, We will offer regular updates, photos and calls and be available to answer any questions from new owners before & after sale. We will also include a puppy contract for your safety & ours.

Puppy/Dog Adoption Checklist
Before contacting or visiting the advertiser for this Shih Tzu. Please make sure you have printed and read this checklist fully. Do NOT buy a dog or puppy from the advertiser unless you are happy that they follow all the advice on the list. If you have any concerns, report them to us.
- Do your research first
Getting a new dog or puppy is a massive commitment, so make sure you have researched the breed fully and have the time and commitment necessary to care for the dog. You can read our detailed Information guide about dogs for potential new dog owners. Also read our Shih Tzu Dog breed information profile. - Confirm that the advertiser is genuine
You should verify this by arranging to visit the dog or puppy at the advertisers home, if they make excuses or try to ask for money or a deposit to be paid online without visiting the dog at their home, or if the advertiser attempts to deliver the puppies or meet you at any other location than their own home, then please do not agree to this. NEVER pay for a dog or send money as a deposit without visiting and seeing the dog at its home beforehand. Please read our article on avoiding potential scams.
Pets4Homes do not verify that all advertisers are genuine, so you must make sure you visit the advertiser at their home to confirm yourself. If you are unsure that the advertiser is genuine, please report them to us. - Can the puppies be viewed with their Mother?
The advertiser should ALWAYS let you see the puppies with their mother, and in certain circumstances should let you see the puppies father. Not being able to see the puppies mother is a sign the puppies have not been bred by the advertiser and possibly imported. If the advertiser makes excuses why you cannot see the puppies mum, please walk away and report them to us. Pets4Homes do not allow the third party sale of puppies. All litters of puppies advertised, MUST have been bred by the advertiser. - Is the Puppy over 8 Weeks of age?
Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before they can leave their mothers. Most responsible sellers will keep their puppies longer than this before they let them go to new homes. Read further information on the minimum age puppies should be before leaving their mothers - Is the puppy/dog Microchipped ?
From April 6th 2016 it will be required by law that all dog over 8 weeks of age are microchipped and that the keepers details registered against them are kept up to date. The breeder is responsible for microchipping the puppies and must have their details registered on the microchip database first. Please check to make sure you receive the microchip documentation with chip number BEFORE taking the dog or puppy home and then arrange to transfer the microchip in to your own name. (More Info) - Check the Health of the Puppy or Dog
It can be difficult for the average person to check if a dog or puppy is healthy or not, so if you decide to adopt or buy the puppy, make sure that the seller agrees that you can return them within 48 hours for a full refund after taking the dog or puppy to a Vet of your choice for a health check. The seller should be willing to let you do this. If the puppy has already been health checked by their own vet, make sure you get evidence for this in the form of vet records and phone their vet to confirm this. - Is the puppy or dog up to date with their vaccinations?
Puppies should receive 2 vaccinations, the first at around 8 to 10 weeks of age and the second, two weeks later at around 10 to 12 weeks of age. Older Dogs require booster vaccinations occasionally as recommended by their Vet. Ask the breeder which vaccinations they have had and if not, why not. Puppies should have at least had their first set of vaccinations before they leave. If the seller has not started the puppies vaccinations, it will be your responsibility to make sure you arrange both vaccinations 7 days before letting your puppy go outside. (More Info) - Have the puppies been treated for worms and fleas?
Puppies should really be wormed at around 2 weeks of age, and again at around 5 weeks of age, and finally just before they leave the seller/breeder at 8 to 12 weeks of age. - Ask questions about puppies mother (and father)
Ask how many litters the mother has had and how old she is, she should be at least 1.5 years old. Ask about her temperament. Ask if the parents have any health issues and if they have been tested for common health issues known in their breed. The advertiser should be willing to tell you all about the puppies parents. - Is the dog/puppy registered with the kennel club?
If they are, then check to make sure you are given the correct kennel club documents BEFORE you decide to take the dog home. It may also be worth phoning the kennel club to check the information provided is correct. - Have the puppies been socialised ?
Make sure that puppies have been socialised from a very early age and are raised in a home environment, have interacted with their litter mates and are used to people, children and general household life. Puppies that haven't been raised in a home environment may develop behavioural issues, have temperamental problems, be difficult to housetrain and find adjusting to family life hard.
