Raised at Home

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.

Going Home

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.
