Re: [JuStiN'doGgIe] shih tzu... [In reply to] Can't Post

hi justin, i have a suggestion, y not get a short fur dog like pug, jack russel..? because shih tzu has long fur, u need to groom him or send to groomer evry mth , the expenses is higher as u need spend on grooming ( rm 60-80 for one time) , and shih tzu tend to have sensitive skin,eye problem, then the medical bills will be very high too ( like my shih tzu, i spent at least rm 200-300 for every 3 mths to see the vet due to his sensitive skin, n he needs special food).

so with ur budget, i would advice u get other breed, or u can get shih tzu, but be prepare to spend on his medical and grooming fees. such expenses u wont be able to see now but the bills will come once u get it..:)

Wah... you just got a Toy poodle? Congrats!!! Must celebrate Heehe..

So what colour is it? Yah RM500 is cheap... wah, like that me also wan ahahahah... But I can't take anymore... 5 dogs enough for me liao hahaha....

To name it, what you do is come up with a list you like your dog to be called and then try calling the dog.... if the pup respond and to you the name sounds nice ah, give loh. I named my shih tzu Willy after Free Willy movie coz he black and white like the whale..... I named my boxers Rexx coz he look fierce, my other boxer Toby coz Scooby don't sound nice... Tammy for my lab coz she so sweet and Boxen for my mix breed coz he has a boxy and funny attitude. Take your time lah, no worries. YOu sure cannot sleep now coz got new puppy to play hahaha...

Re: [JuStiN'doGgIe] shih tzu... [In reply to] Can't Post

My uncle has a brood of poodles. He is always asking me to take a puppy but having 2 rottweilers already quite bankrupt oledi. Eat banyak, crap oso banyak and being old oledi, their supplements costs are quite substantial too.

Poodles are cute. I think they dun shed hair but boy, are they active. Should teach them tricks as they are very intelligent and loves to perform. Quite yappy and noisy.

You must find out why Figo makes noise at that particular time. Lonely? Can't sleep? The mosque prayers irritate him? My dogs have a tendency to howl at 5am to coincide with the mosque prayers. Not much these days but once in a while. When my boy was a young puppy, I left him in a room all by himself. He did not make any noise as I also put a radio on 24 hrs for him and a loud ticking clock. He was as quiet as a mouse.

You should check the Star classifieds. I read it everyday and normally you can find home breeders, even those that come with certs for only RM800. I think I saw once, puppies from a champion shih tzu and was only RM800. You should check it out.

Re: [lovlyn] shih tzu... [In reply to] Can't Post

My advice, don't go for tiny ones. You will burden yourself with health problems. Shih Tzus aren't suppose to be tiny. They are small dogs but not small toy dogs. Shih tzus also cannot have a very flat nose. A short nose of about 1 inch is good. The shoter the nose, the more snoring and breathing problems. Also, small tiny puppies maybe premature, not fully developed. RM850 with cert is ok. You can still find homebreeders that only breed shih tzus and sell for about RM700 to RM800. Anyway, do look at other breeders. A good breeder will give you tips on which are good puppies and not tell you that they are Imperial shih tzus.

A tip, some actually will tell you Taiwan shih tzus are special and small and japanese shih tzus have a normal bite teeth. Please check for undershot teeth.

Re: [lovlyn] shih tzu... [In reply to] Can't Post

Well, do choose wisely. If you still want her puppies, I sugest get the bigger puppies but look for all the shih tzu standards. Small pups, I also afraid to take coz they might have health problems later. My shih tzu was not a small puppy nor a big one. He was just the right size. When he was a younger dog, he had a healthy perfect weight of 6kg. Now he is 11 years old so his weight drop to 5kg.

No inbreeding, that is good. Do give her lots of questions, if the breeder can answer all without any hesitation on the breed, then I guess she may be a good breeder and you should go for it. What colour are they?
