Sweetwater Shih Tzu

Sweetwater Shih Tzu puppies had been on my radar for my next shih tzu pup because it seems like all of the loveliest, healthiest and best socialized pups I have seen in practice as a veterinarian have come from there. Our shih tzu addition has been just as adorable as expected, as well as cuddly, sassy, and he wants to be friends with any creature he meets. He has brought so much joy to our family already.

This spring we added a new member of our home from Sweetwater. McQueen (as in Steve). He is a devil puppy, adorable joke'ster, love muffin. He hasn't met a human he doesn't love. He's funny, and sweet and we quite simply adore him. My vet told me she has never seen such a breed perfect puppy. And after the devastation of losing our beloved Clifford last spring, Mac is a perfect addition to our home. I can't thank you enough for our little ginger snap nor speak more highly of what you do.

I can’t recommend Sweetwater Shih Tzu highly enough. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, ethical, and friendly breeder of healthy, adorable, and well-confirmed Shih Tzu puppies, you simply can’t do better. We bought our two females almost six years ago and they have been the delight of our lives ever since. We were experienced with the breed because we had owned a male Shih Tzu from another breeder for fourteen and a half years. We loved our little male, but he had a number of small problems that are sometimes evident in the breed. I am thrilled that our Sweetwater Shih Tzu females don’t display any of those issues and are calm, happy, and well-socialized. If you are reading this review, then great happiness is in you immediate future because nothing brings a smile like a Sweetwater Shih Tzu puppy. Truly!

Sweetwater Shih Tzu in Mayer, MN is absolutely the most wonderful (& knowledgeable) Shih Tzu breeder around - our family has always had a dog(s) included in our family, along with raising 3 kids and now 9 grandkids visit us. Over the course of 43 yrs...a little over 3 yrs ago I was connected with Sweetwater Shih Tzu --- let me just say, we now have Bella (who is 3 yrs old) and our Coco (who recently turned 1 yrs old). Both were bred, initially raised and both were in the extended care program - TODAY we have 2 of the most awesomest puppies, that give us so much joy and love. Wherever we go - they are at my side, and extremely well behaved. Bella and Coco are the best of friends -- this was not by chance -- it was because the breeders at Sweetwater Shih Tzu know the Shih Tzu breed. Sweetwater is always available for a question you may have; they help educate you on your puppy (whether you have a question about food or a vaccination); the pups come "already being socialized" (and that is so important); you are kept informed of your puppy's growth and developing personality -- Sweetwater Shih Tzu gets a thumbs up, A++ rating, and definitely 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆ ... the waiting period is definitely worth it, if a puppy is not available exactly when you want it. P.S. -- my vet and groomer both comment on what great dogs I have.
