Most Shih Tzu puppies for sale in pet stores come from puppy mills. Many people buy these Shih Tzu puppies for sale from pet stores as they are cheap. However, if you love pets and have a special spot for them, you will not get them from a pet store as they most likely come from a puppy mill. There are many exposes that have been done on puppy mills and the one that touched me was one done sometime back by the Oprah Winfrey show that showed the amount of mistreatment that these creatures go through in the hands of the people that breed them for sale to pet stores. Most of them lie in cages that are filled with feaces and reek. The cages are barely enough space for them to stand upright and they are made to give birth each and every heat cycle and they are gotten rid off after they are too old to be of use to their breeder. By this time, they have given birth to more then 15 litters of Shih Tzu puppies for sale which are more than one hundred puppies. Their carcasses are not buried and are left to rot in the vicinity of the puppy mill. From pet store, these Shih Tzu puppies for sale are not as healthy as they are supposed to be and you will use a lot of money to treat them if you buy them.
