I know. But I am not getting the dog from a shelter or breeder.

A lady, I know has 2 shih tzus that she got from some other person. The shih tzus were not being taken care of. The lady that has the shih tzu's didn't know the female was pregnant until she brought them home. I decided I wanted to get a puppy from her. She has already found homes for the other pups. She plans have mom dog spayed and dad dog neutered.
