Shih Tzu Puppies

Can they easily get health problems because my parents don’t want to spend too much money. And do they get sick easier if you stay away from them for a while? Like when I’m at school and my parents r at work. Whats their average time limit for me to stay away from them?
I DIDN'T SAY I WASN'T WILLING TO PAY MONEY FOR MY DOG!!! AND I'M ONLY GETTING ONE U IDIOTS!!!

My Shih Tzu had tons of problems, and cost over $1500 the first two years of his life. That was a loooong time ago, so those dollars were worth more, too.

What you might do instead, is to contact Shih Tzu Rescue, or
this one: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/chipprescue.html
and find TWO little adult dogs that should stay together.

You would not only be rescuing two dogs, but also they would have each other’s company during the day when you were at school. And by getting adults, you would have a much better idea of their health.

There’s nothing cuter than a Shih Tzu puppy (OK, there is – an Aussie puppy…), but there’s nothing sadder than a puppy in the hospital either,and they should never grow up all alone like that..

Nope, go to rescue, and see what they have – but ONLY if your parents will be taking proper care of it should anything happen.

I don't know if i should get a shih tzu puppy. If you know, can i have some advice??? thank you!

Shih Tzus are gentle, loyal, and proud. They appear arrogant, but are very friendly and affectionate. They love to play ball and will chase anything you throw for them. Shih Tzus are trusting, companionable, and get along with everyone, generally. They are lively, alert and energetic outside. They are very people oriented, vivacious and athletic. The Shih Tzu makes a very pleasing companion and will be obedient if trained…Daily grooming is essential for the Shih Tzu. Bathing needs to be done once a month. This breed also needs a clipping of the matting on the feet. They should be brushed daily in order to remove and prevent mats from forming in the fur. Minimal exercise is needed, but they will love to play outdoors.
Training: Shih Tzus may be obstinate but patience and consistency will help over come the problem and achieve a reasonable level of training. Puppies need basic training when they are young. They should turn out to be a moderately obedient pet if trained.
