Meet the breeder
I'm Yahaira T., the breeder behind All4Paws located in Providence, RI. We proudly raise Shih Tzu puppies with a strong focus on health, temperament, conformation, and intelligence. Our puppies are home-raised, well-socialized, affectionate, and confident. We are dedicated to providing families with healthy, happy puppies that grow into loving lifelong companions.
Q. & A. with Yahaira
Why did you start breeding?
I became a breeder because of my deep love for Shih Tzus and the joy they bring to families. I wanted to raise puppies the right way—in a home, with love, patience, and intention. Seeing my dogs grow, thrive, and become cherished companions is what motivates me. My goal is to provide healthy, well-raised puppies and match them with families who will love them as much as I do.What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special is the love, time, and care that go into every litter. My dogs are raised in my home, not kennels, and are part of my family. I focus on health, temperament, and structure, and I spend time getting to know each puppy’s personality so I can help place them with the right family and ensure a smooth transition into their new home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tricolor, black and white, and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
