If you have decided what your new family dog will be, and you have decided on a Shih Tzu, then you will then need to find Shih Tzu breeders in your area. It is always a good idea to have more than one breeder to consider, as you want to feel totally comfortable with the breeder you are buying from because you will be dealing with that breeder for many years to come. A good relationship is important to a good ownership experience with your new Shih Tzu dog.

The best place to start your search is with the national registry that is most recognized for dog breeders in the United States and that is the National Kennel Club. Pick up the phone and give the National Kennel Club a call at (865) 932-9680 and ask them to help you find the best possible Shih Tzu breeder in your area.

It is unusual, but not unheard of, that good Shih Tzu breeders choose not to list with the National Kennel Club. To find the local Shih Tzu breeder near you then you can search on the Internet or use your local phone book.

The Internet may be better because a website can offer detailed information about a breeder and his business and that is the kind of information you are looking for.

A vet is always a great place for a referral on where to find a reputable Shih Tzu breeder. If you have pets of your own already then ask your vet for a referral to a good Shih Tzu breeder. Your vet may already do business with a breeder, which would be a great help to you.

Another great source of information for finding a good Shih Tzu breeder is your local vet. If you already have a vet for your current pets then ask your vet about getting in touch with a reputable breeder in your area. If you do not have a vet then find the vet closest to you and ask them their advice. If you have friends or family with pets then ask them to recommend a vet for you.

The Internet is a fantastic tool for networking with other people and another way you can find good Shih Tzu breeders in your area is to scout the various Internet message boards and chat rooms that deal with Shih Tzu dogs and breeders. These people will not only help you find a good breeder but they can also answer any questions you may have and give you advice on what to watch out for. A forum such as this can be invaluable.

A Shih Tzu breeder is just as important as the dog itself as your relationship with your breeder is very important to you and your dog. Make sure you take your time looking for the right breeder and also make sure you feel completely comfortable with the breeder you finally decide on. Your family's happiness, and your new puppy's life, depend on you choosing a good breeder.
