My Journey

Responsible Shih Tzu breeder

About Me

Responsible Shih Tzu Breeder

 I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I started out as as a 1st grade elementary school teacher. My husband is a business professor at Arizona State University. He is also a motivational speaker and a business consultant. My oldest son recently graduated from college. He recently conquered the MCAT. I also have a teenage son and daughter that are very busy being typical teenagers.

I stopped teaching shortly after my first child was born to stay home and care for my children. As my children started to grow older we decided to bring a puppy into the family. We purchased Izzy a Teddybear breed. Teddybears are a small/toy breed known to be hypoallergenic which was very important because two of my three children are allergic to dogs.

To make a long story short,

My husband and I loved raising dogs so much that we added a purebred Shih Tzu puppy to our family. We instantly fell head over heals in love with the Shih Tzu breed. A Shih Tzu’s amazing temperaments and easy going nature is hard to beat. One Shih Tzu quickly became two, then three, then four, as the saying goes, the more the merrier! I have now reached a chapter in my life where my children are grown. I thought about going back to teaching, but home is where my heart is…with my family which includes my dogs!

Breeder Education

I have spent countless hours/days/weeks acquiring as much information about Shih Tzu breeding as possible. I have read everything I have been able to get my hands on! My bookshelf can attest to this! As I mentioned on the home page, I have taken and successfully completed The Whelping & Medical Intervention exam and the Nutritional Influences on Reproduction exam through The American Kennel Club. I’ve also taken courses through Avidog, Puppy Culture, Midwoofery and the Empowered Breeder (BAB) program. For a detailed list of my breeder education click here.

Purebred Shih Tzu Puppies

My main goal as a responsible Shih Tzu breeder is to provide my customers with healthy, high quality, even tempered purebred Shih Tzu puppies. I want all the Shih Tzu puppies raised in my home to bring as much joy and love to new families as our pets have provided us with over the years!
