Looking for a wonderful new addition to the family or a companion? Shih-tzus are wonderfully loving and playful. Each one has it's own distinct personality. Playful, loving and very smart, the shih-tzu is a good choice!

To learn more about shih-tzus and other breeds, check out AKC Breed standards. There is a link to the AKC web-site on the links page. You can also visit some of our favorite places from our links page.

All of our shih-tzus are members of our family and are loved very much. Feel free to look at the family photo album and visit the nursery to view our beautiful babies. You can see our expecting mothers and their due dates on the nursery page as well.

Shop around, investigate breed standards, and be informed before falling in love with a puppy. Make sure you are informed about birth defects common to the breed you choose and insist on a guarantee that the puppy you buy is free of any birth defects and has a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian!

A reputable breeder will not sell puppies with known birth defects or genetic faults. Nor will they sell you a puppy which does not meet breed standards. Make sure you are given a written promise for refund or replacement should the puppy you pick display any problem within an agreed amount of time.


Ask the breeder what registry they use to register their puppies. Investigate that registry to ensure that they have a system in place to hold their breeders to a code of ethics. Inspect registration papers thoroughly before handing over your hard earned money. If the breeder does not have the papers, they may never get them! Once the breeder has your money, you may never get it back! We have heard some horror stories about unethical breeders.


On the links page, you will find the only two registries we will use or recommend. You will also see some of our favorite web-sites.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our site. Please come again soon!
