It sounds likes she's wheezing, she's just been home with us since Saturday, but she was born on 7/31...should I be concerned with this? Am a new shih tzu owner.

Shih Tzu's have a shallow airway. If you have ever seen a pug, they wheeze all the time. It is normal because their airway from their nose is a lot shallower than normal. Shih Tzu's are the same way. Don't worry about it unless your puppy seems to be in a lot of distress from it. Also, there is a website with general knowledge facts about the Shih Tzu
www.akc.org
And when your puppy is ready to be trained, here is a good site for that

Hope this helped. >^_^<

My baby is a tiny imperial 9 mos of age. I just had to have surgery on her nose because her nostrils were too small and she wasn't getting any air through them. The vet said this is quite common with this breed. She would make awful noises and blow bubbles through her nose. She had the surgery yesterday and she is finally breathing through her nose with her mouth shut. Maybe your baby has the same problem.
