Shih Tzu

Yes. Shih Tzus are gentle, patient, and affectionate, making them excellent family dogs. Our puppies are raised around children and other animals, helping them grow into confident, adaptable companions.

Yes, we welcome international enquiries. At Victrina Kennels, we are experienced in international pet export procedures and can arrange safe and comfortable travel for your puppy, in line with global regulations.

They’re clever and respond well to positive reinforcement, though they can be a little cheeky! Early socialisation and consistency make a big difference — both of which we prioritise in their early weeks.

Every Shih Tzu puppy is desensitized to children, common household noises, and other pets as part of our early rearing process. This helps ensure a smooth transition into family life and encourages confident, well-adjusted behaviour.

Yes. All puppies are given a comprehensive veterinary health check, along with their first vaccinations, deworming, and microchipping before they go to their new homes. We also provide a health record booklet for your peace of mind.

Their long, luxurious coat does require regular brushing and maintenance, but many families opt for a "puppy cut" for easier care. We provide grooming advice and coat care tips with every puppy.

They do well indoors with proper care. We guide all owners on heat awareness, cooling routines, and coat maintenance to ensure your Shih Tzu stays healthy and comfortable.

Every Victrina puppy undergoes a character assessment to help us understand their individual temperament. This allows us to recommend the most suitable pup for your lifestyle — whether you’re an active family, a single owner, or a first-time dog parent.

All Victrina Shih Tzus go home with:

• A puppy starter pack (blanket, food, toy)

• Vaccination and health certificates

• Microchip documentation

• A care sheet for grooming and feeding

• Continued support from the Victrina team
