Shih-Tzu, the little lion dog from China has gradually become one of the most popular breeds all around the world. This sweet and small pooch is simply adored by almost all the canine lovers out there and that is why its demand is slowly increasing day by day. This is a great house pet in every aspect and any potential dog-parent who decides to raise this pooch will definitely be extremely happy and content by his choice.
Earlier, the availability of Shih Tzus was not really high in a country like India and these dogs were mostly considered to be fairly rare. But now, times are changing and people have started to look for more unorthodox breeds to raise and this is why a breed like Shih Tzu is on a fairly constant rise in the Indian Subcontinent. And because these dogs are highly friendly, playful and adjustable in nature and they are fairly affordable as well, they are a pretty decent fit for potential Indian dog parents and admirers.
Given below is the average price list of the Shih Tzu puppies which are available in India in various variations.
If you are interested in getting this dog from a breeder, then you should focus on finding a reputed and knowledgeable breeder. A good breeder is extremely important for both you and your future four-legged companion. Looking for a new pet at a trusted breeder's place is a way of ensuring that you are bringing a healthy and wholesome canine home. Also, the chances of genetic diseases in a canine are reduced by a great margin if you are bringing a puppy home from a reputable breeder. So, rather than fussing over the Shih Tzu dog price at a random breeder's place, you should always try to get it from a reliable breeder.
Adoption is a great way to find the breed or dog of your dreams. There are numerous canines that are waiting for a dog-parent at various shelter homes and adoption centers. Shih tzus and other similar fun-loving dogs can be easily found at these places and we at Tailsbuddy firmly support and encourage adoption of dogs.

Now there are various factors that can affect the original Shih Tzu price in India. These factors are as follows:
There are three different price categories for a Shih Tzu dog (in India): Basic, KCI Registered and Show Quality.
Shih Tzus are available in a lot of different colors and this can also greatly affect their original price. Common colors that are found on a Shih Tzu's coat are Black, Gold, Liver, Red, and Silver and these colors are mostly present in some sort of combination. Bringing home a common colored Shih Tzu will definitely cost less as compared to a rare colored Shih Tzu. Uncommon colors that a Shih Tzu's coat can be found in are solid Black, Blue et cetera.
Also, There are other kinds of Shih Tzus that are available at various breeders places. These types can be American Shih Tzu, European Shih Tzu, and Imperial Shih Tzu. These Shih Tzu have slight differences between one another like European Shih Tzus have a broader chest and a rounder head than the American Shih Tzus and based on these types and differences, the Shih Tzu dog price can be further affected.
It is a common knowledge that puppies and young dogs are often sold at a higher price by the breeders as compared to older dogs and this is the same case with Shih Tzus. Also, the price can again change (depending on breeder to breeder) on the basis of the gender of the dog. Mostly male canines cost more than their female counterparts.
The cost of a purebred Shih Tzu is higher than the mixed-breed as there are lesser chances for a purebred puppy to develop hereditary health problems as compared to the one that is mixed-breed.
Getting a dog from a breeder that is near or far from you will again influence the final price of that canine. Pooches that are bought from far away (from a different state or city) will cost more when compared to the dogs that are bought from a breeder that is closer to your place. Also if a breed is readily available in your area, then its price should again be on the lower side as compared to the breeds who are fairly rare and uncommon. In the case of Shih Tzus, as their availability is fairly decent in most parts of India, their price is also fairly less than other breeds which are pretty rare such as Bichon Frise.
Cost of Shih Tzu dog can once again increase if you are buying this fluffy canine from a Reputed and trusted breeder. Breeders who are fairly popular in a region can sometimes charge more for a breed than some other breeders who are not so well-known. But one should also buy a dog from a trusted source only as that generally translates to better quality and healthy canine.
