Purebred Shih Tzu Puppies
Responsible Breeding Program

More Than Just a Cute Puppy!
Welcome
to Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus
You can call me Dee! I am your local, reputable Shih Tzu breeder. I run a small, responsible breeding program in sunny Goodyear, Arizona. If you’re looking for ethically raised purebred Shih Tzu puppies for sale, you have come to the right Shih Tzu breeder. All of my Shih Tzus are family first!
The adult Shih Tzus in my breeding program meet all mandatory health testing requirements for the breed. Breeding adults are screened for genetic health conditions to guarantee purebred heritage and help me make ethical breeding decisions. I have also been awarded Good dog’s Excellent health testing badge! All Shih Tzu puppies for sale come with a two-year health guarantee.

"Quality is everyone's responsibility." (Deming, Edwards)
I raise my purebred Shih Tzu puppies for sale on a first class puppy curriculum to ensure proper socialization. According to studies, puppies that complete a developmentally appropriate curriculum tend to be more intelligent emotionally and intellectually. Puppies that complete a socialization curriculum are also more capable of handling stress.
All of the Shih Tzu puppies in my responsible breeding program go through temperament testing before being placed as well. Temperament testing gives clients an inside look at their future puppy’s emerging personality. As a responsible Shih Tzu breeder, I like to set my future puppy owners up for success by providing them with as much information about their puppy as possible.

"Happiness is a warm puppy." - Charles Shultz
I only have a few litters of Shih Tzu puppies per year. This gives me the opportunity to provide the puppies with a great deal of time and individualized attention during their most critical period of development. Running a small, responsible breeding program also allows me to have the time and energy to devote love and attention to my adult dogs which mean the world to me! All of the Shih Tzus in my program are family first! They spend their days alongside my family and I.

High Quality!
Program at a Glance
I make it my mission at Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus to produce purebred Shih Tzu puppies of the highest quality and health! You can find Shih Tzu puppies for sale at your local pet store for about the same price or maybe even less than my Shih Tzu puppies cost. But, you will most likely not know where your puppy came from or how he or she was raised!
As mentioned above, all of the purebred Shih Tzu puppies for sale in my responsible breeding program are raised on a first class puppy curriculum to help them live up to their full potential. Furthermore, all Shih Tzu puppies remain in my home for the first 11 to 12 weeks of life in order to learn irreplaceable skills from their mother and littermates during this critical puppy socialization period.
I structure my responsible breeding program in a way that gives you an inside look at your future Shih Tzu puppy’s life journey from birth until he or she joins your family. I post videos or photos of the Shih Tzu puppies working their way through my program almost daily on social media. Please follow along on Instagram and Facebook to see firsthand how I raise the puppies at Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus. As a local, reputable Shih Tzu breeder, I want nothing more than to provide my clients with high quality purebred Shih Tzu puppies that provide many years of unconditional love and fond memories.
