At Divine Pups, we’re not just raising pretty faces. We’re raising Shih Tzus with the kind of foundation that actually matters.
Every single Shih Tzu puppy for sale in our program is raised on an advanced service dog curriculum that builds confidence, focus, and adaptability from day one. Whether your pup becomes a snuggle buddy, a therapy dog, or your child’s best friend, they deserve to be prepared for real life.
Our parent dogs are health tested, our puppies come with a health guarantee, and we go the extra mile with professional temperament testing to make sure each pup is matched with a home that truly fits.
You can find Shih Tzus for sale in California in local pet stores, but our available Shih Tzu puppies are high-quality and raised with intention, care, and love. Whether you’re located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego or across the country, we offer safe delivery within California using a trusted pet nanny service, no cargo flights, ever. Your puppy is hand-delivered right to you.

What Makes
Divine Pups Different?
At Divine Pups, our mission is simple: to raise healthy, confident Shih Tzu puppies with purpose, heart, and a whole lot of love.
We do things differently here, and it shows! Every decision we make is rooted in purpose, care, and a deep respect for the families we serve and the pups we raise.
Advanced Service Dog Curriculum
Every Divine Pup begins their journey with curriculum-based training that builds confidence, resilience, and social adaptability. From early scent introduction and neurological stimulation to foundational skills that support therapy and service work, we’re setting the bar high because your puppy deserves more than the basics.
Health and Genetic Excellence
We don’t leave health to chance. Our parent dogs are tested for over 200+ genetic conditions before they’re ever bred, so you can feel confident that your future pup is starting life with the strongest foundation possible.
Personalized Temperament Matching
No puppy is placed at random. Every pup is evaluated using a structured temperament testing process to ensure they’re matched with the right home, personality, and lifestyle. Because when you get the right match, it changes everything.
Divine Pups aren’t just raised differently.
They’re raised for something more.

All About Divine Pups: A Shih Tzu Legacy
What Makes the Shih Tzu Breed So Special
You know what they say… GREAT things come in small packages.
Shih Tzus have been stealing hearts for centuries, literally. They were bred to sit with emperors in ancient China, and trust me, they still act like royalty today. But, don’t be mistaken … These pups are more than just lap warmers. Behind those big eyes and fluffy faces is an intelligent, intuitive dog who can thrive as a service, therapy, or emotional support companion.
Yes, they’re fancy. But they’re also focused, loyal, and capable of so much more than people give them credit for.
