Please choose a breeder that does all of
there genetic testing including the eyes! I am
not trying to scare anyone, But if you did your
research and realized the importance of this it
would be clear that you will want to avoid the
heartache and devastation that comes along with
adopting a puppy that suffers from liver
issues or worse yet dies.
Even more so .. adopting a puppy that appears
healthy only to at one yr of age find out it is
going blind. You will wish you had taken the
time to find a breeder who only breeds parents
that have been tested.
Shih Tzu rank in the top 5 dogs for eye
issues. So if the Mother of your Shorkie is a
Shih Tzu and she has not been Cerf tested for
eye issues .. how do you know your puppy wont
develop eye disease that will cause him
blindness.
Breeders that tell you they have no
issues in their lines concern me greatly!!! My
question to these breeders is HOW DO YOU KNOW ??
You haven't done any testing.
Puppy parents today have the right to expect
the breeder t.y choose to do the VERY MOST to
protect them and the puppies they are producing.
The sad fact and truth is MANY breeders do not
and are in it for some quick cash,
I get probably 50 calls every week from
people all over the USA telling me about the
issues they have had with a breeder of a Shorkie
or that the puppy itself has died or is very
sick. The only thing I can tell them is to
contact the breeder they got the dog from. If
there had been a problem with an SCA breeder, I
could assist them. But I have no jurisdiction
over breeders that are not SCA members. So,
please, before working with any Shorkie breeder,
check with us to see if it is a breeder we
recognize and work with. As I’ve said, I will be
glad to personally let you know if the breeder
you are considering is an SCA breeder. (Email
pricelesspups@yahoo.com; or telephone
253-238-7936, Pacific Time Zone.) I will happily
help you. The Priceless Pups family is
championing the need for change in the USA when
it comes to ethical breeding practices. It’s
time for responsible breeders to take a stand
and step out and away from breeders who are
breeding without understanding what they are
doing and/or are just out to make a quick buck.
We are doing everything in our power to ensure
we are breeding to better the Shorkie breed. If
breeders are doing nothing to better the breed,
then what business do they have breeding at all?
We
recommend you start out your puppy immediately
with NuVet Plus, and keep him on it throughout
his life to maintain a strong immune system. It
comes in tablet or powder form, and we suggest
the powder form because it is easier to use for
puppies and is easily sprinkled on food. Or if
you like, you can use it as a training treat
after your puppy has gone potty outside either
first thing in the morning, or in the evening
after the last potty break before bed.

You
can purchase NuVet directly from the
manufacturer, NuVet Labs – either phone them at
1-800-474-7044, or use their website,
www.nuvet.com. You may want to ask them about
their auto-ship program which allows you to save
15% off of the wholesale price. And of course
we would love for you to use our Order Code
which is No. 70321. But make no mistake, this
is not about us making a sale. We think
the product is just one more component which
helps us be responsible breeders and helps
responsible puppy parents maintain the health of
their puppies.
