Shih Tzus are natural watchdogs, and they’re both intelligent and affable, making them an excellent choice for a family pet. Read on for all the necessary information on Shih Tzu stud dogs.
Finding a Shih Tzu stud dog: what should you look for?
- Ask whether the stud’s sperm count has been checked by a vet
- Ensure the stud has been screened for any inherited diseases that are common to this breed, including hip and renal dysplasia, thyroid disorders and hearing conditions
- The male should be smaller than the female for optimum mounting
- Enquire about the stud’s mating histories and the litters he’s sired
- An even temperament is an important quality for a Shih Tzu stud; these dogs shouldn’t be aggressive
What are the average fees for a Shih Tzu stud?
Average stud dog fees for Shih Tzus are between £150-£400, depending on the breeder in question. Dogs that have successfully sired litters previously tend to have higher stud fees.
Three tips for finding a Shih Tzu stud:
- Bringing the female to the male for mating is preferable, so it helps if you’re willing to travel, but look for a stud nearby if possible
- Check that the stud dog is registered with the Kennel Club, and ask to see the certificate
- Make sure the stud dog has a good-quality coat
What is the average litter size of Shih Tzus?
A Shih Tzu’s litter size is, on average, three puppies, and their gestation period lasts for around 63 days.
