Welcome to the Northwest Shih Tzu Fanciers Web site!
All members of this fancy-
Ø
Breed to produce Shih Tzu to the breed standard
o
We engage our Shih Tzu in competition to demonstrate the
quality of our breeding programs
Ø
Test urine for specific gravity before selling pups
o
High specific gravity is the most reliable indicator of kidney
function
Ø
Test for the gene mutation that allows at least two forms
of kidney disease and breed to eradicate that gene
o
The first two mutations that were found seem to produce
juvenile and adult renal dysplasia. However, it has been found that dogs
that had kidney disease from either of the two genes also had this third
mutation, which seems to be required for the original two to affect the
kidneys. By eliminating this third mutation, we in effect ‘turn off’ the
other kidney mutations. We are all dedicated to eradicating kidney
disease from Shih Tzu!

Ø
Ensure that all Shih Tzu- even ones being shown- have
access to play outside daily
o
Most show Shih Tzu and many that are being bred live in 3’ by
3’ pens 24/7 without outside access. This causes problems with muscle &
skeletal development as well as causing poor temperaments. We feel our dogs
deserve more from us, and ensure they live the kid of life they would want
to if they were given a say.
Ø
Engage in limited breeding for quality, not quantity
o
2 to 4 is the normal number of litters our bitches will have
in their lifetime. They will not be bred older than 7. When you want
a pup, expect to be put on a waiting list for one of our very special
planned breedings!
Ø
Sell pups with their first two shots
Ø
Sell pups with a health guarantee
Ø
Have a clause in the contract requiring return of the dog
if you cannot keep it
Ø
Require spay/neuter of any pup not going to a show home
Who are we?
Visit the Members page to see the kennels making
this stand!
We are simply a small group that
seeks a better standard of living for our Shih Tzu while remaining dedicated
to producing quality. We think happy hearts and healthy temperaments are
more important than white feet any day!
