You can find Shih Tzus through our localized search, which filters for licensed and Kennel Club Assured Breeders in and around the Newtownabbey 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.
Male Shih Tzus tend to be slightly larger and more muscular, with affectionate and playful personalities. They make loyal and energetic companions for families.

Neutering is often recommended to prevent unwanted litters and reduce some health risks. Your vet can advise on the best timing for your puppy.
