Born in My House, Raised With Their Mother
Every litter at Royal Silk Shih Tzus is born in my home in Sedona and stays with its mother through the first weeks. Once the puppies are weaned they move into a clean indoor pen of their own, with their beds and bowls, which is where house training begins.

Purebred Shih Tzus, About 8 Pounds Grown
Royal Silk is Shih Tzus only, with no crosses. My adults are about 8 pounds fully grown: a little under the breed standard, but not teacups or imperials, and I do not breed for tiny size.
Curious what that means? The guide to how big Shih Tzus get has the real numbers, and teacup Shih Tzu explains the word.

A Closed Kennel, and Three Ways Home
To protect young puppies while their immune systems develop, nobody visits the house. Families meet me at a public place we agree on, and every other puppy travels by ground transport or with a flight nanny in the cabin. Never cargo.

Bringing Your Shih Tzu Puppy Home
There are three ways home, and none of them is cargo:
- Meet in Arizona. We agree on a public place to meet, for meeting your puppy and taking it home.
- Ground transport. Your puppy is driven the whole way to your door.
- A flight nanny. A nanny carries your puppy in the cabin and hands it to you at your airport.
