What Affects the Price of a Shih Tzu Puppy?

The price of a Shih Tzu puppy can vary considerably. A higher asking price does not automatically mean a healthier or better-bred puppy.

  • Pedigree and registration. Recorded ancestry and registration may affect asking prices, but registration alone does not guarantee responsible breeding.
  • Health testing. Ask sellers about relevant health screening and request evidence of any tests they describe in the advert.
  • Location. The number and type of Shih Tzu adverts available in an area can influence its reported average.
  • Coat colour. Average asking prices can differ between colours, but colour alone does not indicate health or suitability.
  • Age and circumstances. Older puppies and adult dogs may be advertised at different prices.

When choosing a puppy, consider health, welfare and suitability for your home as well as the asking price.

Shih Tzu Prices by Coat Colour

Compare average advertised prices by coat colour. These figures reflect the listings available at the time of calculation; differences may also reflect age, pedigree, health testing, location and the number of adverts in each category. Coat colour alone should not determine which puppy you choose.

The Ongoing Cost of Owning a Shih Tzu

The purchase price is only part of the cost of bringing a Shih Tzu home. Remember to budget for food, vaccinations, routine veterinary care, parasite prevention, insurance, training and everyday supplies. Your time, exercise and attention matter too.
