dear ally, i came across with a pet shop in ipoh. they sell thing quite cheap. a shih tzu puppy RM400++ without cert. MKA cert 1 around RM800++. going to ipoh is not a prob. buy me a cup of ipoh white coffee n i will take u there, as i am looking for a dog too.... will pass u the contact soon as i don have it now. u may ask the petshop owner to call u if any shih tzu is available....
Welcome to the forum. You can always call up MKA for a list of breeders at ur area when you have saved enuff $$ to get ur puppy. It is normally better to get it directly from the breeder and at some times, it is cheaper too. Don't forget to add-in the emergency medical expenses and the yearly vacination fees too.
Hi, Ally, Welcome to the forum. I am from Penang too and I own an 9 months old male Miniature Schnauzer. I am also attending the obedience training class in Japanese Garden, come to visit us when you are free. Do you consider other breed instead of Shih Tzu???
