We are a home breeder that dedicates our time to raising healthy, happy, and socialized Shih Tzu puppies. Our puppies are born in our bedroom, and raised in our home around the family. All of our adult dogs have access to our yard, but live in our home as part of our family. We breed for health, temperament, and beauty. While we often have puppies that will mature to under 9 pounds, we in no way risk the health of our dogs or puppies in order to produce a smaller puppy.

When you get your puppy home, we welcome any questions you may have. Raising a puppy is time consuming and a huge responsibility. We never want you to feel alone. We will be here to offer you a lifetime of support. We would also love to hear your happy stories and share in any photos you would like to send. Our goal is to provide families with a cherished baby that bring as much happiness to them as ours bring to us.



If you read our home page, you know a little about me. Now let me tell you a little about my family. My husband, Curtis, and I have been married for 10 years. We have 3 wonderful children: Chandler, 9 years old; Karlee, 8 years old; and Kaitlin, 3 years old. We all take part in caring for our fur babies. Our older children are helpful when it comes to feeding time or helping to pick up things the dogs have gotten into. (It's like having 2 year olds all over the house!) Mom (of course!) does most of the cleaning, but if it wasn't for Curtis, I would never have been able to pursue my passion for the Shih Tzu. All of us take pride in spoiling each and every one of our puppies.
