MART SHIH TZUS is a family owned kennel with a petite selection of puppies for sale. Our first concern is the welfare of our babies. Our puppies are a part of our family and we handle them daily. From birth, they are introduced to children and are properly socialized for their new family to come.
I have been raising Shih Tzus (Imperial, toy, teacup, miniature) for more than 8 years. You may wonder why I do this, it’s not the money if so I would get so much more for my puppies with all the hours I put into a day work. But it’s the love of what I do and the joy I see in people faces when they meet their new family member. The joy after reading emails, text and seeing pictures of my grand pups in their new family. I have clients from the first puppy that still keep up with me. Some even come back and get a second puppy and so many refer me to family and friends. But my real joy is when I am doing what I love best being a mid-woof. That’s right I have a real name this is when a person hand deliver puppies into this beautiful world our God created. People ask me can’t a dog deliver pups by their self? They can but that is my favorite part and I would feel cheated if I missed out on the delivery. But I also do it because smaller dogs can run into problems delivering a puppy and needs help getting it out. That’s where I come in, my job is once I see the puppy coming I take over and do what I can to deliver a strong healthy pup for mommy, then cut open the bag, clamp and cut the cord and clean them up. Once I see it is a healthy puppy I get them started nursing. This frees mommy up for energy to take care of them in the weeks to come. Within an hour of birth I cut the dew claws and if the breed requires dock the tail. This way the nerve ending are not all connected making less pain for puppy. But that is just when my work begins.It takes time and energy caring for expecting moms, but more so when she delivers, because now you have puppies. I always want them in a clean environment so clean bedding and air are so important.
