Thank you for your interest in a Lil'Darlin's Shih-tzu puppy. All of our puppies are sold to qualified homes only. I do sell puppies with full registration under some conditions ($500.00 added to the purchase price). To be considered for one of our babies, please answer the following questions in an e-mail addressed to lildarlinshihtzus@hotmail.com I hope you will agree that the animal's welfare is my number one concern in determining placement.
NOTE: I will not return e-mails unless you have answered these questions
*Are you in a house or an apartment?
*Are you looking for a pet puppy or a breeder?
*Do you have other dogs?

Pricing
Pricing is determined by size, color and quality, therefore, they will vary. They are not just based on size. The following prices are estimates. I am proud to say that all of my dogs are of the finest quality and well worth the price! I consider it an investment for a long-time companion of at least 12 years.
All of our puppies are sent home with two sets of puppy shots, AKC papers, dewormed, vet. checked and their very own crate and toy with mama's sent.
TEACUP
3-5 Pounds as an adult
$2500.00 - $2000.00
This size is especially rare and hard to find if it is a true teacup. Many breeders will tell you they have this size but BEWARE some breeders don't know how to size their puppies.
IMPERIAL
$1900.00 - $1500.00
6-8 pounds as an adult
This is also a hard size to find as people will tell you that they will be 7 pounds and they turn out to be 18 pounds....this happened to me personally as you will read in my "About Us" page. Do not be fooled by breeders that just want to make the big money. Most of these breeders will lower the quality and health of the dog only to get a small dog with a life span of 2 years or a lifetime of Vet. visits. I will never sacrafice the health and quality of my dogs for money.
TINY TYPE
6-8 pounds as an adult

TINY TYPE
9-11 pounds as an adult
$1400.00
This size can be shown in the ring. I don't get very many of this size, but when I have this size they are top quality in everyway. I breed for confirmation, color and agility even though they are toys.
SHIPPING
I do ship worldwide (if outside the U.S. e-mail me for pricing and age puppy is shipped). It is $250.00 which includes the airfare, crate, health certificate, puppy toy and puppy pack. Sometimes the shipping may be included in the price of the puppy. I will NEVER ship a puppy for an overnight stay. Due to their small size, the puppies have to wait to be shipped at the earliest 12 weeks.
DEPOSIT
Deposit is a non-refundable $300.00 for a pet puppy and 1/2 the price for a breeder pup. If you decide not the get the puppy it is not refundable but can roll over to another pup within the year of the deposit. I will hold the puppy for 4 days for you to get the deposit to us. Because of the size of my females they have small litters, therefore, I recommend that you act fast if you see a puppy that you are interested in....they go fast.
PAYMENTS
I only take payments through official checks and money orders. I have not had good experiences with PAYPAL, therefore, I refuse to use their service. When you send the check you need to expect a 10 day waiting period for the check to clear. I usually ask for the check to be sent in full two weeks before your baby is due to be shipped. This way everything will run smoothly.
