How these examples were selected
This is a small convenience sample from one marketplace, with individual advert pages checked on the date above. Promoted listings, relistings and seller choices can affect it. Unique advert IDs do not prove independent sellers or animals. These examples were selected from the marketplace Shih Tzu category and checked individually. Marketplace breed placement is not verified pedigree.
A litter advert can cover several animals and individual prices may differ. Deposits, breeding rights and included services may be priced separately. The recorded age is the advertised age at our check, not an independently verified birth date. Original publication dates were not verified.
CVP has not verified health, pedigree, registration or seller quality and does not endorse a seller. A visible advert does not establish that an animal is available or ready to leave. Adult classified prices are not charity adoption fees.

Plan acquisition and ongoing spending separately
A purchase price does not establish the ongoing cost of ownership. Compare your own food, routine care, equipment and service quotes, and allow for unexpected bills. No breed-specific financial preset is supplied here.
