Noise Exposure. We begin introducing the puppies raised here at The Shih Tzu Nursery & The Mini Shih Tzu Nursery on Day 18, which is aligned with when their ears open. At this young age, puppies have no fear of sound so we introduce sounds to them so they can view it as NORMAL in their environment. From Day 18 till the day they leave our homes, our pups are exposed to purposeful loud bangs (banging 2 lids of same size pots together is surprisingly beautiful), knocks, doorbells, thunder, rain storms, fireworks, loud barks, crying/screaming babies, sirens, vacuuming (real vacuuming & a vacuum playlist), city noises, construction noises, chirping birds, barking dogs (live barking dogs too - our neighbors’ dogs are big & loud), a cats meow, etc. We play different types of music & movies for them to get accustomed to all sound types, pitches, & ranges derived from different genres. Since no men live in our homes, we will play news segments & talk shows & movies where they can hear the tonality men make when speaking. At night, when we are ready to slow down the night, we play spa or classical music until the next morning. In fact our adults know when the music shifts at night, it’s time to settle.
When choosing to bring one of our pups into your home, we strongly encourage you to continue doing this & focus on the sounds that they will hear most in your home environment.
When your baby tries food for the first time & you can finally sleep through the night…you document! Here’s to reaching this milestone for this precious (& healthy) hand-raised litter.
Baby & Aspen’s little Shih Tzus are 5 weeks old now! This colorful litter includes 3 girls & 1 boy ranging from estimated adult weights of 5-7 lbs. We need to name these petite sweeties - drop your name suggestions below please 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 @follo@followers
Our little Holly is growing up fast! From 4 weeks to 7, it feels like it’s a blink of the eye!
Our mini Gigi is expecting to have 3 babies in the next 24 hours. This video is from the vet, on 12/7/23, from her pre-mating physical. This is her first time having babies & we are anxiously awaiting their arrival & are looking forward to raising them. Gigi was born with us, (her mom Kamila was born with us too) & if she takes after her mom & her grandma, she will be a great mommy too.
Don’t blame them one bit for having a standoff over Ramen! We can’t get enough of our puppy updates on Soul & Winnie - hopefully you can’t either!
Our little Faith, now Claire, came to visit us for 17 nights while her fam visited relatives on the other side of the world. She had not had any interaction with other pets since she left our home & was definitely out of her comfort zone the first day or so but she quickly became the social butterfly we remember her to be. She played so hard she needed 2 baths while here, she slept in bed on my pillow, & showered me with love for those 17 days. So thankful to have had time with her, even if she & her dog mom could give 2 s*its about each other. She was a special one when I raised her & continues to be a ray of sunshine now.
Bieber, Hailey, & Selena all get along in our household 😂. These little cuties are 9 weeks old now & excited for the warmer days in their near future! ☀️🌷🌴
Our adorable, confident, spunky Selena is all grown up! At 11 weeks, she is 2 lbs 4 oz (projected to be 5.5, tops 7). She will be ready for her big adventure into the life of someone special in 2 weeks (after her 2nd vaccine). If you’re interested in Serena please fill out our application or call/ text us for more details.
