Yep we got our Cocker from one of their stores 8 years ago. So far she has been healthy but def got left out in the brains dept.
Of course knowing what I know now I wouldn't do it again. The first 2 dogs we had came from the pound. They were older dogs so we didn't have them too long. Later we went to the petstore and my hubby just had to have the cocker. She came with papers but I can't remember which registry. She also came from Arizona. So that was a LONG trip from Arizona to Virginia.So I can bet they don't come from local breeders. You should ask to see the info about the breeder. Let me guess they want at LEAST 1400-1500 for a Yorkie and about 900 -1000 for a Shih tzu. You could find a local breeder and get a Shih tzu much cheaper and prob a lot healthier as well. Good Luck. Just be careful.
