Responsible Breeding Program

Purebred solid sable Shih Tzu puppy

Responsibly Raised

Welcome

to Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus and Poos!

You can call me Dee! I am your purebred Shih Tzu puppy breeder. I run a local and responsible Shih Tzu breeding program in sunny Goodyear, Arizona. My small, local Shih Tzu breeding business is run in the heart of my home right alongside my family. All of the adult Shih Tzus in my program are screened for breed-related health conditions to help me make ethical breeding decisions. My purebred Shih Tzu Puppies for sale are raised on a highly advanced puppy curriculum and undergo temperament testing to ensure that they get the very best start in life. I do offer travel options if you’re out of state. Please head over to the transportation page for more details. 

I only have a few litters of purebred Shih Tzu Puppies for sale per year. This gives me the opportunity to provide the puppies with a great deal of time and attention during their most crucial period of development. Running a small breeding program also allows me to devote love and attention to my human family and adult dogs, which mean the world to me! My Shih Tzus are pampered lap dogs that are showered with unconditional love each and every day!

If you’re ready to work with a responsible and reputable Shih Tzu puppy breeder, I promise to be there every step of the way. I am beyond excited to introduce you to your next gorgeous purebred Shih Tzu puppy! Everyone deserves to know the love of a good dog. They don’t call them man’s best friend for nothing!

High Quality!

Program at a Glance

I make it my mission at Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus and Poos to produce purebred Shih Tzu puppies of the highest quality and health! You can find a Shih Tzu puppy at your local pet store for about the same price or maybe even less than my puppies cost. But, you will most likely not know where your puppy came from or how he or she was raised!

All of the purebred Shih Tzu puppies in my breeding program are raised on a first class puppy curriculum to help them live up to their full potential. Furthermore, all Shih Tzu puppies remain in my home for the first 11 to 12 weeks of life in order to learn irreplaceable skills from their mother and littermates during this critical puppy socialization period. 

My responsible Shih Tzu breeding program is structured in a way that gives you an inside look at your future Shih Tzu puppy’s life journey from birth until he or she joins your family. Please follow along on Instagram to see firsthand how the puppies at Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus & Poos are being raised. You wont be disappointed! As an ethical, responsible, and reputable Shih Tzu Breeder, I want nothing more than to  provide my clients with healthy, purebred, high quality Shih Tzu puppies that provide many years of unconditional love and fond memories.

Beautiful Experience

Bringing home our sweet puppy from Deanna & her family was the most beautiful experience. She cares for her pups like her children, with so much love and warmth. She is so smart and so well versed in every area of care for her puppies and her grown dogs. I couldn’t be anymore impressed with how knowledgeable she is and how it translated into all the work she does everyday with the puppies & the AMAZING environment for them. I see all the effort and creativity that goes into the care for the pups, it’s remarkable!! It felt like a true family experience, I’m forever grateful for our Teddy and the amazing home she came from. Deanna is the best!

Amazing Process

My family used Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus to get Teddy. The entire process was AMAZING! Deanna worked with us to make sure the puppy we got was the best fit for us. She takes excellent care of the puppies and provides all the necessary information to make sure he stayed healthy! We highly recommend this breeder for all your puppy needs!

Amazing to Work With

From our first interaction, Deanna was amazing to work with. The application process was lengthy but straightforward and I appreciate the lengths she went to in order to make sure the puppies went to good homes. She sent frequent email updates and we were able to follow along with the pups growth on her Instagram. The payment and puppy pick up process were super easy and she actually brought our  dog to our home on drop off day. She provided a huge bag of transition goods and treats for little Millie so she would settle in smoothly. Deanna had also done so much prework with the dogs that we had no issue getting her to use puppy pads and turf outside. I highly recommend getting a Shih Tzu from her, we are so excited to have our new little girl.

Positive Experience

Working with Deanna as a Shih Tzu breeder was such a positive experience. She is very responsive and detail oriented, which I really appreciated. She educated me about the breed and the process the whole way and welcomed all my Questions. I felt so comfortable taking Jeffrey home because I felt like I already knew how he spent his first 12.5 weeks of life and I had gotten to know him through Deanna. I traveled by plane to pick up Jeffrey and the experience was positive every step of the way. I can’t say enough about it and I’m so happy (and lucky) to have gotten one of her sweet Ruby’s puppies.

Couldn't Be Happier

We recently brought a puppy home from Deanna’s program and we couldn’t be happier. We chose to work with her, rather than a breeder closer to our home because we liked the fact that all of her adult dogs used for the program live in her home and are loved and cared for as family members full time. We were also impressed with the curriculum she was using with the pups. She puts her whole heart into caring for and giving each of the puppies the best possible start in life, the results of which is a happy, loving, and well rounded dog.

Complete Pleasure

Deanna of Arizona Sunrise Shih Tzus and Poos, has been a complete pleasure to work with. From the second my family came into contact with her everything surrounding buying a puppy from her was seamless. She offered frequent, almost daily updates about all the puppies through the spaces app, but also gave my family private updates regarding the puppy we bought. Our puppy was already being potty-trained under Deanna’s care as well as in the beginning stages of being taught commands like “come.” She was a pleasure to work with and we already plan on adopting again from her when a future litter comes along!

Shih Tzus and Seniors Shih Tzus can absolutely b Shih Tzus and Seniors 

Shih Tzus can absolutely be great dogs for seniors! Shih Tzus were actually bred to be companion animals for royalty. If you’re looking for a lap dog, look no further. A Shih Tzus easy going nature and small size make them ideal pets for seniors.

Many seniors face isolation and loneliness and benefit tremendously from having a lap dog. Also, the Shih Tzus small yet sturdy body frame lends a hand to seniors facing mobility issues. Another added bonus is that Shih Tzus don’t need an overly active lifestyle. A short stroll around the neighborhood or a play session in the yard are often enough to fulfill a Shih Tzus daily exercise requirements.

While Shih Tzus are charming and make great companion animals for seniors, there are somethings to consider before bringing a Shih Tzu home. First, decide whether you want a Shih Tzu puppy or an adult Shih Tzu. Shih Tzu puppies are cuddly, adorable, and irresistible bundles of love. But, they’re a lot of work even if they came from a responsible Shih Tzu breeder. They need training and patience in order to learn exactly what is expected of them in their new home. Also, puppies in general have more energy than adult dogs. They tire quickly but do need an outlet for burning off that excess energy.

Not every Shih Tzu puppy is born with the same temperament either. Just like humans, they possess traits that make them unique. In my reputable Shih Tzu breeding program, each puppy is temperament tested before being placed with a family. My goal is to set all my families up for success. For example, It could end in disaster if I placed a high energy Shih Tzu puppy in a home with a client that has mobility issues.

All things considered, Shih Tzus are loyal companion animals that are relatively easy to own. With proper training they can make ideal pets for just about anyone! If you’re thinking about getting a Shih Tzu puppy it is important to make sure that you work with an ethical breeder that puts an emphasis on socialization and temperament testing. It is essential that your Shih Tzu’s temperament aligns with your specific needs.

I want nothing more than to improve my program in every way possible. How can I claim to run a responsible breeding program if I am not willing to listen to what my puppy owners have to say!

It’s my job as a reputable Shih Tzu breeder to try my best to help my puppy owners find resolutions to their puppy problems when possible. If you own one of my puppies or plan on owning a Shih Tzu puppy from my program in the future, please don’t ever hesitate to contact me with questions and concerns. I truly want to help in any way I can. I offer lifetime breeder support to all of my puppy clients. I consider my puppy owners part of my extended family.

The Puppy, Puppy, Puppy recall is a lifesaving rec The Puppy, Puppy, Puppy recall is a lifesaving recall that I use with all of the puppies raised in my breeding program. Essentially, when the puppies first start lapping up liquids or puppy food the breeder  says Puppy, Puppy, Puppy. The recall is imprinted into the memory of each puppy. Imprinting is a form of learning that happens during the early stages of a puppy’s development. Overtime, the  lifesaving recall becomes a permanent part of the puppy’s memory. 
When new puppy owners bring their new puppy home they should continue to use the Puppy, Puppy, Puppy recall a couple times a week. When the puppy comes after hearing the recall be sure to offer a high reward treat. The end goal is that your puppy will come to you immediately if he or she is ever in danger simply by using the recall. 🐶💗🐶
