• Where can I find a Shih Tzu puppy for sale in Argyll and Bute?

  You can find Shih Tzus through our localized search, which filters for licensed and Kennel Club Assured Breeders in and around the Argyll and Bute area. Under UK law, any breeder producing three or more litters a year must hold a local council license. We recommend always visiting the puppy at the breeder's home to view the license and observe the mother (Dam) interacting with the litter to ensure high welfare standards.

  Female Shih Tzus are often a bit smaller and may be more independent than males, but they're equally affectionate, intelligent, and playful.

  Training success depends on the individual dog and consistent training, not sex. Female Shih Tzus generally learn quickly and respond well to positive reinforcement.
