Because these little ones require more work on the part of the breeder, being so tiny, they sometimes require extra supplements such as Nutri-cal, and be fed more often to keep them from getting hypoglycemia (sugar-drop), because these little ones are prone to this condition, we tend to keep our babies longer than the average eight weeks of age.  Sometimes they will not leave us until the forth month of age, also because these tiny little ones are rare, limited in quantity, they command a higher price. Please check out thse exquisite little gems. All our babies are sold with registration papers, current on vaccinations, vet checked.  Their colors range from white to black, brown to red, and everything in between.  They have wonderful full coats, very sound bodies and wonderful personalities.

Imperial Shih Tzu Puppies
It is believed that the small Shih Tzu, 6 to 7 pound size was first introduced by the Chinese Empresses Dowager in the Imperial Palace of China.  The larger sizes were rejected, often destroyed or sold in the underground market.  The legend of the Imperial Shih Tzu is so mysterious, that the history is still unclear, and the controversy continues about them still.  The smaller ones were kept under careful guard, slept on satin pillows, and were only owned by the elite and wealthy.  They were sometimes given as the ultimate gift to diplomats when they visited the Imperial Place.  They were highly reverend and cherished.
