From Sedona, Arizona to Florida
Shih Tzu Puppies for Sale in Florida
Purebred Shih Tzu puppies from our family home in Sedona, Arizona, and how families in Florida bring one home: ground transport to your door, a flight nanny, or a meetup in Arizona.
I am in Sedona, Arizona, not in Florida, and we say so up front. Distance has never stopped a family bringing one of our puppies home. Florida and Arizona have a lot of people in common: a good many of my neighbours spend half the year in each. Phoenix flies nonstop to Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Miami in about four hours, which is a comfortable single hop for a puppy that never leaves your lap.

Getting a puppy to Florida
- Ground transport to your door. A transporter collects your puppy from us and drives it to you in Florida, in a carrier, fed and watered on the way, and hands it to you in person.
- Flight nanny. About 4 hours from Phoenix. A nanny flies with your puppy in the cabin and hands it to you at arrivals. PHX nonstop to MCO, TPA, FLL or MIA.
- Fly in and fly home together. An 8lb puppy is carry-on. Fly into Phoenix, meet us, and fly home with your puppy under the seat in front of you.
- Meet us in Arizona. If you are driving through or making a trip of it, we meet you at a public place we agree on. We run a closed kennel to protect the puppies, so meetups happen there rather than at the house.
Whichever way, your puppy travels with a person, never as cargo, and the cost is quoted for your address.

Keeping a Shih Tzu in Florida
Florida humidity asks more of a Shih Tzu than any other climate on this list, so it is worth knowing before July. A short-nosed dog cannot cool itself when the air is wet, so summer means early walks, an air conditioned house, and a coat kept in a shorter cut than you might see on a show dog. Do that and they thrive; there are more Shih Tzus in Florida than almost anywhere. Winters, of course, are perfect.
Shih Tzu breeders in Florida
If you have been looking for Shih Tzu breeders in Florida, you have probably seen a lot of prices with a state name after them. I am in Arizona and I say so plainly. What that buys you is a puppy raised in our home rather than a listing, on one direct flight, with no application and no deposit.
Whether you are in Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Sarasota or anywhere else in Florida, the route is the same one and the offer is the same: the puppies available now, and a straight answer to anything you ask.

Before you commit from Florida
Ask us anything about the puppy you like. We are happy to send more photos and tell you all about them before you decide.
Worth reading first: how big an about 8lb Shih Tzu actually is, what one costs in the first year, and what to have ready before it arrives.
