Q. & A. with Vicki
Why did you start breeding?
Getting a shih tzu for Christmas, she is my sweetest baby, I love her. When she had her 2nd heat, I took her to be bred, and the rest is history. It's a true blessing to do something I love, helps to supplement, but most of all is to see the joy on a family's face, hear the stories of their older shih tzu that had passed, and wanting a new baby. And able to meet folks that become friends for lifeWhat makes your program special?
I truly love my babies, they are right here in the house with my husband and I. Our children are grown and out of the house with their own families. These babies are our children, and our grandchildren comes over and plays with our fur babies and help us with taking care of them. It teaches them love and responsibility. And my babies love them to come play with them. These babies are my heart.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate, blue, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Cisa, mom
Shih Tzu
About Cisa
Cisa is a very special baby girl to me. Her momma was my first baby shih tzu i bought. I never dreamed of breeding at that time. But Smoothie showed me how wonderful shih tzus were. Cisa is baby from one of Smoothies litters. And has a sweet and loving personality just like her momma. I had to keep her. She has become just as special to me as her momma. She is white, with relish brown on her ears, and a spot of the same color on top of her head. She has proved to having beautiful babies herself. I love her very much!
Morgie, mom
Shih Tzu
About Morgie
MY sweet Morgie, is literally an angel from heaven. She is the perfect shih tzu. The most tender personality, she just wants to very on your lap, or lay right beside you.
Sugar, mom
Shih Tzu
About Sugar
Little Ms Sugar is a trip! I just love her, and she is a wonderful mother to her litters. She is always looking for those loves and kisses. And sitting on your lap. I do believe these fur babies all have unique personalities, and one thing about Sugar is when either my husband or I sing (which we do a lot, with oldies) she will start singing also!! It sounds like she is yodeling!!!! A very smart lil gal.
Whiskey, dad
Shih Tzu
About Whiskey
Whiskey is all of 9 lbs. And has the sweetest nature. He knows when to make you laugh. Love to give lots of kisses on the chin. He's little and loves to be carried around and loves to get up on your chest and look into your eyes, just like he can understand everything you're thinking.

Verified owner · Dec. 2025
Vicki and her family both human and ShihTzu’s were absolutely wonderful. You could tell right off that Shih Tzus were treated as family and have a great disposition. I couldn’t have found a better puppy. He’s happy, loving, funny and love to play. In one week he has become familiar with his new surrounding and is fitting in real well.

Viki was great to work with and made the whole experience as smooth as possible and was always really great at answering questions in a timely manner and was very transparent about everything throughout the entire process. I would recommend her anytime and look forward to working with her again in the future.
