1 GIRL LEFT (GRACIE)

I'm delighted to present 3 beautiful Shih Tzu puppies ready for their new forever homes in Longford. Mum, Molly, is an IKA registered miniature Shih Tzu that hails from a champion award-winning Russian bloodline. Daddy, Mylo, is our harmless old ejit who joined our family during lockdown, providing us with so much love and fun that we couldn't be without either of them. Together, they make a beautiful pair, full of fun, affection, and loyalty—all traits that are visible in these gorgeous puppies.

The puppies are being raised in our home with both parents and surrounded by our four children, making them ideal family pets. They are very much indoor pets and don't like being left outside alone for long periods. They have started toilet training using the crate training method and are feeding independently on Redmills Mother and Baby Elite Puppy Food.

They have been fully vet-checked by our family vet and have received vaccines appropriate to their age. Additionally, they have been microchipped and registered. These puppies are friendly and well-suited for a loving family environment or indeed perfect for an elderly/retired person/couple that require a loyal companion for company.

The Shih Tzu is a breed known for its friendly and affectionate nature. These dogs are generally outgoing and enjoy the company of people and other pets, making them excellent companions for families. Despite their small size, Shih Tzus are known for their sturdy build and can adapt well to apartment living as long as they receive adequate attention and care. The breed typically exhibits a calm temperament, though they can be playful and energetic when engaged in fun activities.

This breed is also well know for their hypoallergenic quality meaning they are mostly non shed and are perfect for allergy suffers or individuals with respiratory issues.
