Enchanted Mountain Shih Tzu
About my puppies Our Prices do not include shipping or Full AKC. Puppies are sold on a Spay/Neuter pet contract only. If you are interested in full AKC and you run a small, reputable and quality breeding program, please email your resume to enchantedmountain@comcast.net . I will only give breeding rights to breeders I know or have good references on. Certain litters will not be sold on Full AKC under any circumstances. We do not sale our puppies to Brokers, Mills, or Pet Shops under any circumstances! We do investigate all inquiries for full AKC.
About my sizes
At Enchanted Mountain Shih Tzu we prefer The smaller standard (9-11 lb) and imperial sized babies (7-9 lbs). I personally prefer my Shih Tzu's between 7-11 lbs with short and stocky bodies. Most my puppies should be in the 9-11 lb range between 8" and 9" tall Most my dogs tend to weigh a lot compared to their size (short and stocky). I breed for overall quality, temperament and beauty. Know matter what the weight they should have good substance. They never look like they weigh as much as they do. Even though I love the 7-10 lb range and that is my ultimate goal, I can not, with absolute certainty, guarantee a size and weight. I feel whether someone breeds for a perfect pet or a perfect show dog they should always be striving for perfection and breeding to improve on what you already have. Some of my babies have Champions in there 5 generation pedigree some do not , but either way my dogs quality are the same. Keep in mind smaller lines will not have Champions solely because of the size issue, not due to quality. There are many many people out there that has no desire to show a dog, but wants that same quality in their pet (big or small). Just like there are responsible breeders and irresponsible breeders, there are also responsible pet owners and irresponsible pet owners. I will only place my puppies with responsible pet owners. That is my goal and guarantee to you.
Weight vs Size
Please remember you can not completely tell the "size" of a Shih Tzu by weight alone. Some Shih Tzu can carry a lot of weight for their size. Most of my dogs are short and stocky and carry a good amount of weight for the overall size. I like the short fat and stocky look. I have one dog that is 6.5 lbs and one that is 10 lbs and both are about 8.25" tall and 10" long. You simply can not tell the size by weight alone. That all being said the majority of my puppies at this point will range in the 9-11 lb range, with some being smaller at times.
About My Colors
I prefer to breed for the rare type colors (I guess I like to be different), some refer to them as exotic colors and or recessive colors. I absolutely love the chocolates with there cute brown noses, the light creamy blues ,whites and bright non-fading reds are some of my favorites. All of these colors must be bred carefully and responsibly. No matter what the color or size my goal is to provide a beautiful quality baby that will be loved and there for you for many years to come.
About my prices and what you get
To start with if you are looking for "cheap", this is not the place (I am just trying to be honest). My prices will range from $600 to $1500. I can not and will not try and compete with the pricing from just anybody. I put a lot of time, effort and expense into the care of my adult dogs and puppies, so I can offer you a sound, quality, healthy, well adjusted baby. These precious little spirits are members of my family and I care for them as such. They will never stay dirty or be in a dirty environment (not to say they don't make a complete mess when munching down on their mush). They are groomed from the beginning. Their nails are trimmed almost right away. I trim the hair on their bums so they can stay clean. I also shower them with many many hugs and kisses everyday. Both Moms, Dads and Babies are fed only the hightest quality food (Which trust me isn't cheap) The Moms and Dads are all purchased from long lines of reputable breeders and quality breeding practices. They do not come cheap. They will have their first shots, be de-wormed, and dew claws removed All puppies will go home with a puppy packet which includes a puppy food starter packet, toy, Blanket, collar & Vaccination Schedule.
Shipping is an
additional $300 Determining Prices
Each puppy is priced individually based on over all quality, lineage, color & size. Market factors such as color and markings. Smaller puppies often require much more attention and care and also tend to need to stay with us longer they are also harder to come by so they will be priced accordingly as are some of the rare markings and colors such as solids verses party. Price is also determined based on AKC Standards for a Shih Tzu such as body proportion, coat, and eye definition. All of these things will effect the price. Something to keep in mind is quality food, vet care and just basic responsible care such as cleaning expenses to keep them clean and in a good environment do not come cheap. There are cheaper puppies out their , but that doesn't mean they had good quality care and are given the attention they need to be an excellent pet. Please Please keep this in mind when looking at the pricing for puppies. You do pay for what you get in a puppy. The purchase price of a puppy is a very small expense compared to the lifetime of love and dedication they will give you.
Shipping
Shipping will be available for a fee of $300. This cost is to cover The Airfare, Vet visit, crate, & gas. No puppy will be shipped until it weighs at least 2lbs or is at least 8 weeks of age. Some puppies are not 2lbs by 8 weeks and will not be shipped until the proper weight is reached. I will hold a puppy at my discretion until I feel he/she is ready to fly.
Deposits and Payment schedule
If you would like to be put on a waiting list please let me know. It is free of charge but we require you to make a decision on your puppy within 1 week of being told which puppies are available and 1/2 of the purchase price to be paid within 1 week of picking your puppy. If you do not want a puppy out of a particular litter you may wait for another litter. It is all based on a first come first serve basis.
I know some people out there think our prices are too high and not substantiated. I am here to tell you that taking care of these puppies and their mommies and daddies take a lot of expense and time if done properly. They are all a life long commitment, though I love to do it and love them all, in the end it is not a cheap endeavor to bring you quality.
REFUNDS Refunds are not given under any circumstances. Please read the puppy contract closely for details. Please be sure you are ready to take on the commitment of a new family member/ puppy before purchasing or placing a deposits. Puppy's are living, breathing little spirits and you must be prepared to take on the responsibility of your new baby. To raise a healthy well adjusted baby takes a lot of patience and effort and you must be prepared for that.
Everything I do will only be in the best interest of my babies!
