From Sedona, Arizona to Indiana
Shih Tzu Puppies for Sale in Indiana
Indiana families are the ones who most often come and collect in person, and I think it is because of where Indianapolis sits. One nonstop, three and a half hours, and you are in Phoenix by the middle of the morning with the whole day in front of you. Sedona is two hours further north through some of the best country in the southwest. More than one family has driven up on the Saturday and flown home with a puppy on the Sunday.
Indianapolis has a nonstop from Phoenix of about three and a half hours, and it is the airport for most of the state: Fort Wayne, Bloomington and Lafayette are all a drive from it, and Evansville and South Bend connect once. Indiana buyers have been some of the most straightforward I have dealt with: they write, they ask good questions, they come.

How your puppy travels to Indiana
Fly to Phoenix, spend an hour with the puppies, fly home with yours in a carrier under the seat. If you want to make a weekend of it, Sedona is two hours north and worth the drive. If you cannot travel, a flight nanny takes the Indianapolis nonstop and meets you at arrivals. Cargo is never used.

Getting a puppy to Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville and the rest of Indiana
Indianapolis is the nonstop and it covers more of the state than you would expect: Carmel is on its doorstep, Bloomington is an hour south and Lafayette an hour north-west. Fort Wayne, South Bend and Evansville are the three that need a connection, and for those a transporter to the door is often less trouble than a second boarding with a puppy.
Keeping a Shih Tzu in Indiana
Indiana summers are humid and that is the one thing to plan for with a flat-faced breed: early walks, a cool house, and a shorter coat cut from June to September. The rest of the year suits them. The crossroads of America has more long car journeys than most places, and a Shih Tzu is a good travelling dog once it is used to a carrier, which mine already are.
Shih Tzu breeders in Indiana
Some of the Indiana searches for Shih Tzu breeders carry a price under three hundred dollars, and I cannot meet that. What I can offer is a purebred puppy you meet before you buy, from a house in Sedona, about 8lb grown, one nonstop from Indianapolis. No application, no deposit.
Whether you are in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Carmel, Bloomington or anywhere else in Indiana, the route is the same one and the offer is the same: the puppies available now, and a straight answer to anything you ask.
Buying a Shih Tzu puppy in Indiana: your questions
Do you sell Shih Tzu puppies to Indiana families?
I do, and Indiana buyers have been some of the most straightforward I have dealt with: they write, they ask good questions, they turn up. Indianapolis is the nonstop and serves most of the state. Evansville and South Bend connect once. If travelling is not possible a nanny takes the Indianapolis flight with your puppy in the cabin and meets you at arrivals. The hold is never used.
Can we make a trip of it?
Plenty do. Phoenix is where we meet, and Sedona is two hours north of it through some of the best country in the southwest, so if you have a weekend it is worth the drive. Linda came the whole way from Tennessee by road for Sam and there is a photograph of the two of them in the car on the day. Come out, meet your puppy properly, and fly home with it under the seat.
Indiana summers are humid. Does that matter for this breed?
It does, and it is the one thing I would plan around. A short nose cannot cool a dog in wet air, so from June to September walks go early, the house stays cool and the coat is kept in a shorter cut than you might like. The rest of the Indiana year suits them very well. The crossroads of America means a lot of long car journeys, and a Shih Tzu travels well once it is used to a carrier, which mine already are.
Why are you more than the local Indiana prices?
Some of the Indiana searching that reaches me has a figure under three hundred dollars attached and I cannot match it. Mine are $700 for a boy and $750 for a girl. What you get for the difference is a purebred puppy you meet before you buy, raised in a house in Sedona, about eight pounds grown, one nonstop from Indianapolis, with no application and no deposit. What is included.

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.
