About Pien Ji Shih Tzu
 |
Pien Ji is dedicated to producing a very few, very high quality Shih Tzu. Our foundation boy, CH Pien Ji's Chun Kee Bob, was the number 5 producer of Champion Shih Tzu in the US for 2008- based on a few, high quality litters bred here at home. When you look at our dogs- they probably look different from what you are used to seeing- there are a lot more solids here, and even some blues. I love the rainbow that this breed should be, and pretty much every breeding I do has both color and parti genes so I can pick the best pup for show irregardless of color. |

I'm not sure if you noticed, but these Champions are all what people would call "rare colors"- and all finished owner handled! So if someone tells you they don't show "rare colors" (that term irritates me- self- fulfilling prophecy) because you can't win with them- tell them you certainly can - you just have to breed GOOD ONES. |
Pien Ji Shih Tzu are bred for health, temperament, and conformation to the standard as set by the American Shih Tzu Club. In the process of breeding for show, wonderful pets are produced! My Shih Tzu live in the house, and are very social. As such, I have much less tolerance for temperament problems that produce, at times, a better show dog, but one much harder to live with. My feeling is that if you haven't produced a dog that people love to live with, you have failed.
Pien Ji Shih Tzu come with an initial two week guarantee against contagious disease. This is to get you through the incubation period, and ensure to you that your puppy is healthy at the time of purchase.
There is a two year guarantee against life threatening congenital defect. If your pup has RD (Renal Dysplasia- kidney disease), it should show up by that time, as should Von Wilebrand's (a clotting disorder). Kidney and eye problems are fairly common in the breed in general, I have not had any genetic problem with either, and would immediately neuter any animal involved in producing any of these conditions, and I would need to know of any problems IMMEDIATELY.
Pien Ji pups are sold on a spay/neuter contract unless sold for show.
Your pup will come with a Starter kit, with all of the basics you need except a crate and bed. There will be enough food for three days to give you time to get the same food- my dogs are doing very well on the diet they are on.
Your pup will have been wormed twice, and will have the first two puppy shots. I do not vaccinate for Leptospirea, as that shot is more dangerous to your pup than the likelihood of getting Lepto. I do not give rabies shots- that has to be done by a vet.
Your puppy will not be able to go to your home until 12 weeks. This is the time prescribed by the ASTC. It allows for optimal socialization, and for the first two puppy shots to have been given.
If at any time you no longer feel you can keep the pup, it comes back here per the contract. I do not want my babies ending up in rescue or the pound, and will be there to help 
if you have problems that don't allow you to keep the pup any longer.
I will be there to help and support you with the pup for the life of the pup. If you have questions, I prefer you ask me first- in most cases I will be able to help you, and I will try to find that answer when I don't know.
Please contact me with any questions. Charlee
My Shih Tzu are bred for type, temperament, and health, and even in a sweet breed like this, my Shih Tzu are known for being exceptionally sweet, loving, and well mannered. I wouldn't have it any other way! My babies live in my house, and while I firmly believe that purebred dogs should only be bred to the standard and for breed improvement, I feel that if your pups aren't a true delight to live with, you have failed!
