Here at SarJan's we love puppies. Sweet little faces, soft fur and puppy kisses are what it's all about. There is nothing more fun than watching a litter of puppies play and discover the world.
Our puppies are raised in our living room with all the hustle and bustle of everyday life and around the other dogs. We start giving our puppies baths every week at about six weeks of age. At eight weeks they are evaluated with the Pat Hasting Puppy Puzzle Method to determine whether they will become show prospects or loving pets. They receive their vaccinations at eight, twelve, and sixteen weeks of age. They are wormed before going to their new homes at twelve weeks. We love our babies and want them to be emotionally and physically ready for the transition from our home to yours.
We breed to the AKC standard of 9 to 16 pounds and the puppies will be in that range as a general rule. Since we like 11 to 13 pounds for show that is the approximate weight of all of our adults, though we do have some smaller girls that just make 9.
What Do You Get With A SarJan's Puppy?
Each SarJan's puppy comes with:
1) Generations of careful breeding to produce a happy, healthy Shih Tzu puppy that looks like the well-bred quality dog it is!
2) Three year written health guarantee against any life
threatening hereditary diseases.
3) Veterinarian health check-up and health certificate. First two puppy shots and wormings.
4) Purina ProPlan Puppy Packet containing a 70 page puppy/dog care book, health records, housetraining guide and Shih Tzu specific info.
5) ProPlan sample food packet to get you started for the first few days.
8) US! We are here to help with any questions that may arise throughout your puppy's lifetime.
6) Imported Water bottle adapter to keep face clean and dry when drinking.
All SarJan's puppies sold as pets are on AKC limited registration and a spay/neuter contract. Sorry, NO puppies that we offer as pets are sold with full registration and breeding rights. Show puppies available. Email for future Ch terms.
When we hold back puppies to watch as show prospects for ourselves or others we sometimes determine that they are better suited to be beloved pets. We will then offer them to the public on spay/neuter contracts the same as we do the baby puppies. These older puppies will have extensive training in grooming manners, walking on lead and crate training.
If quality, integrity, and health are more important than bargain basement prices, and you are looking for puppies that have AKC Champion Sires and Dams and not just 'champions in their pedigrees', these are the puppies for you! Our puppies are priced low enough to be affordable to everyone and you are insured that you are getting the best pedigrees and bloodlines we have to offer. All Shih Tzu puppies we offer as pets are born here at SarJan's. On occasion we will post puppies for friends on our website but we do not purchase puppies for re-sale. We are the breeders of the puppies we sell as well as the breeders of the parents and grandparents. In fact, we are in our currently showing 4th and 5th generations of dogs that we have raised in our home.
