From Sedona, Arizona to Michigan
Shih Tzu Puppies for Sale in Michigan
Purebred Shih Tzu puppies from our family home in Sedona, Arizona, and how families in Michigan bring one home: ground transport to your door, a flight nanny, or a meetup in Arizona.
I am in Sedona, Arizona, not in Michigan, and we say so up front. Distance has never stopped a family bringing one of our puppies home. Michigan is one of the states that finds this site most, and Phoenix to Detroit is a straightforward nonstop of under four hours. Grand Rapids and the west of the state usually connect once; Traverse City is a summer nonstop and a connection the rest of the year.

Getting a puppy to Michigan
- Ground transport to your door. A transporter collects your puppy from us and drives it to you in Michigan, in a carrier, fed and watered on the way, and hands it to you in person.
- Flight nanny. About 3 hours 40 from Phoenix. A nanny flies with your puppy in the cabin and hands it to you at arrivals. PHX nonstop to DTW; Grand Rapids with one stop.
- 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 Michigan
A Michigan winter is easy on a Shih Tzu, easier than an Arizona summer. The double coat does its job, walks are short anyway, and the one real hazard is road salt on the pads, so wipe feet at the door or use boots. Lake humidity in July and August is the harder season: keep walks early and the house cool. Between the two, Michigan is a comfortable place for this breed.

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.
