Shih tzu are hypo-allergenic companions perfect for cuddling in a small package. Dalmatians are born to gaze into your eyes with adoration and live for cuddles in a larger, more boisterous but probably easier to train package. Both of the breeds are perfect by the age of three and have different challenges in puppyhood. Shih tzu are said to need 30-50 reps to learn a skill and the Dal's need 5-15 reps on average. You will have to be diligent and dedicated to take the shih tzu outside as soon as they wake, after they eat, during and after play, all while utilizing a crate or pen when they are unsupervised for at least one whole year. What is practiced will be repeated, this is on you, they will not choose to please you, they are too confident to need your approval ;). The Dal will be distressed at your displeasure and try harder next time. The Dalmatian downfall is they are boisterous and will knock you over if you aren't fit and ready for 35 to 65 pounds coming at you full speed, with joy of course. They will see that they have hurt you, feel bad and try harder next time.

The health of my lines are monitored by Embark DNA testing and OFA submitted health certificates of parents for the best outcome. All puppies are microchipped with AKC Reunite chips for safety. I will accept any of my pups for return no matter the age, they should never be surrendered to a shelter as I will bear the burden of finding them a new home. A percentage of money may be owed to you depending on the circumstance.
