Hello.
I am seeking a well-bred, championship-line FEMALE Shih Tzu puppy to add to our family.  I have had two in the past and very sadly recently lost one to Heart Failure at age 9.  The second Shih Tzu that we have is from a reputable breeder in Surrey in the U.K. but we do not believe they are breeding any more.  We miss our little dog that passed away very, very much and are desperate for another one.  We love Shih Tzu's and feel that they are the best small family dog in the world.
Can someone kindly assist us in finding an excellent Shih Tzu breeder in the U.K., preferably close to London? It would be extremely well cared for and loved by our family.  Our pets are our family members!  However, we really want to find a top notch breeder to ensure excellent health in our pet.

Kind Regards,
Dianne Brewer

Why not attened a few Championship shows sort out the dogs you like and speak to their breeders to locate someone who is producing dogs you like from show lines. Crufts is coming up in March and that should give you all the info you will need.

As you ask for show lines I take it you either show or wish to breed, so it is worth doing some research before deciding on the breeder you wish to buy your dog from.
