Aleva Kennel

Sweet Stylish Shih Tzu’s & Bouncy Beautiful Bichon Frise’s

Puppies are Purebred & Registered. We do not cross bred to get mixed puppies, Never have, doubt we ever will. Which registries will depend on the parents. All parents are dual and triple registered & we are working on an additional registry at this time. All adults are ACA & APRI & many are AKC. If the parents are dual registered, the pups will be too.

If you are close to our state, we will try to meet you part way or We safely airline ship any puppy 8 weeks of age or older. This is at the buyers expense. The cost for shipping crate, vet certificate to fly and airline cargo ticket for them is $250.00 to most major airports. This does not cover all of them & we always ask for the two closest major airports incase we have to go with another.

Again, we try to keep the pages updated. We do not see much point in showing you a pup that is already sold & one you can not purchase. We remove pups as soon as possible after the deposit is placed one them, that is why you will see a few on hold & even a few sold on occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions

I try to keep the site updated so if you see a pup that is not marked SOLD or ON HOLD on the first page, then chances are pretty high, they are available. Puppies on the "Puppies" Page only are for sale. NOT the gallery, These are pups that have already found homes

Question #1: Are all the pups we see available or are some sold?

Question #2: Why don't we see many sold or on hold puppies on your pages?

Question #3: How will my new pup get to me?

Question #4: Are the puppies Purebred? Registered?

All puppies come with a shot record, types, dates and all information on the pup so you have this record to take with you to your vetrinarian. This should be kept in their permenant record. A booster shot and worming will need to be done 3 weeks after you get the pup & at that time talk to your Vet about any other shots such as rabies & when he would feel he could spay or neuter. This is being done real early these days.

Question #5: Will the puppy have shots & be wormed.

Each puppy will have his/her own packets, It contains: Pedigree, Registration papers (If all are back @ the time he/she leaves, if not the missing paper will be mailed, Vet Health Certificate, Housetraining Quide with helpful schedule, Shot Record & worming, All care record including vet visits, bathes, etc, agreement to spay/neuter, guarantee's terms and conditions. Microchip number (if you chose to have this done) with transfer papers.

Puppy will also ship with a toy that the whole litter has played with so the move to your house is easier. The females also get a nice set of ribbons for their hair (while supplies last). We include a ziploc baggie of the food we feed. See question 8 for more info on this.

We feed a professional kennel blend called Kasco. This is hard to find and we personally have it trucked in. We recommend you use a quality dry puppy food, small kibble is best. We send along a ziploc baggie of the Kasco Puppy food for you to mix 1/2 and 1/2 with the new food you plan to feed & switch them over slowly to prevent tummy upset. For the health of your pup, quality is always better then saving a few $$. They eat less of the quality food & it is better for them.

Puppies are not microchipped without your request and approval. This is at a cost to the buyer of $35.00 per pet/chip. We highly recommend you have this done. Many locations throughout the USA are requiring that it be done and the chip be registered with the city. We offer this service as all of ours are done and were done at a young age. Safe & effective if your pup should unexpectedly slip away. I could tell you tons of horror stories

We can not FORCE you to do anything however we do mark that you will not be able to register the offspring & with one registry you have to show that the pup has been spay or neutered before you can register him/her under your name.

Watch carefully for signs of hypoglycemia (this happens when sugar level drops), and may be caused by stress from being in new environment, too much excitment, and/or not eating properly. Signs of hypoglycemia are: Staggering, vacant stare, sleeping , lethargy, shaking head in an unnatural way (actually kinda rolling the neck) Also the gums will be very pale white or blue. Should this occur, quick and calm action is required IMMEDIATELY! If you have Nutri-Cal give it to puppy, if not ,use honey, clear karo syrup, rubbing on the tougue and gums. If neither is available, use plain white sugar. Continue with small amounts until puppy returns to normal. If there is no improvement, contact your veterinarian.

Please let me emphasize that hypoglycemia is not a disease or sickness nor is it genetic or inherited. Hypoglycemia is very common in puppies, especially shih tzu puppies and other small breeds, and is easily managed with proper care.
