Also at what age in weeks do shih tzu have to leave their mothers.
legally 8 weeks old, puppies should have received at least 1 set of shots and have been de-wormed at 2, 4. 8. and 8 weeks and once a month until the puppy is 6 months old.if possible wait until the puppy is between 10-12 weeks as the puppy is better socialized and has had a additional set of shots. I got my puppies when they were 12 weeks old and they were ready to go fully weaned, and mature.
the LEGAL age of 8 weeks and pups should have their shots at 6, 8, 10, and rabies at 12 weeks
the dog doesnt HAVE to leave its mother but it gets to lol

Puppies should have their first set of shots, also reputable breeders wait 10 weeks before selling any puppy

WHEN I PURCHASE MY VERY FIRST MALE SHIH TZU, HE CAME WITH 2 DISTEMPER/ PARVO SHOTS BEFORE LEAVING HIS MOTHER @ 8 WEEKS. I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF THE REST BUT ALWAYS ASK FOR VACCINATION RECORD SO YOUR VET WILL KNOW WHAT HE NEEDS AND DOESN’T OVER VACCINATE YOUR PUPPY.
