The best way to find a Shih Tzu is to begin with the American Shih Tzu club. You can also join a breed club, or an all-breed club where you can meet breeders, dog trainers and professional dog handlers who can provide a wealth of information about good breeders. Ask dog groomers and other happy Shih Tzu owners about where they obtained their pet. Another right place to find a good Shih Tzu is to attend a dog show. Don't be surprised if the breeder you select doesn't have a puppy right now. A good Shih Tzu is well worth the wait.
