Not covered under guarantee: because not considered genetic hereditary or life treating condition in Shih Tzus

  1. Umbilical Hernias are very common- most disappear with age.
  2. Pinched nostrils, snore, snort, sniffle, or bubbles- if discharge is clear no cause for concern. Teething will increases symptoms. However as the puppy matures the symptoms will decrees.
  3. Heavy breathing or when excited there will be a hacking-chocking sound. Calm puppy, soft voice and warm touch will help this to pass quickly.
  4. Males- dropped testis. Where checked by vet, but can recede from different environmental stimuli
  5. Double teeth- puppy teeth don’t fall out at any exact time/ some can stay in when adult grown out. Give lots of chews and wait till after one year old. I have seen them take a while to become loose because my dogs have healthy teeth.
  6. Parasites and worms can be eliminated easily and can be picked up from grass, woods, flies, mosquitoes, ride home, and other dogs/cats. Not life threatening.

If the puppy dies or is unfit for adoption the breeder will notify the adoptee to pick out a different puppy. If puppies are unavailable at that time you will have two choices:. Adoptee may decide to wait for new liter to be born and receive first choice on that next litter.  Also could pick any other available puppy at that time.. This is very sad and usually dose not happen often. God Bless you and your new puppy.  Please send pictures and testimonials to me. I care about you and your puppy.  You have the best – their love will never fade.
