Meet the breeder
I'm Amanda C., the breeder behind Amanda's Shih Tzus located in Running Springs, CA. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
My mother in law is a reputable breeder. After helping her assist with a delivery and getting to know her dogs our family decided to get into breeding.

They are the perfect companion dogs.What makes your program special?

Amanda was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed of Shih Tzu‘s. I’m so lucky to have found Boba which I renamed to bear. He is adjusting quite great at my place and is very playful and energetic. Amanda is a great breeder and very knowledgeable in the this specific type of breed of dog. I would recommend her if you’re looking specifically for a Shih Tzu. Amanda is very communicative and gives updates on the dogs as well as you’re in the process of reserving one through the app.

+6We were so excited to meet our new puppy and Amanda was so go to work with. She did a video chat with us and met us half way between to deliver our little man. We fell in love immediately! His name is now Gus! Gus is so good with people and other dogs. He's a snuggler and lover. He had his first vet appointment today and he weighs in at 4.5 lbs. at 17 weeks. He was so good, even the vet and staff commented on it. We love him so much and are so thankful for the quality pets that Amanda raises. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a precious little Shih Tzu

We are so happy with our new puppy Rosie! She is so energetic and loving! She is doing great with potty training and has adjusted well with our dog Lexie. Amanda was so easy to work with and sent update photos before we picked her up! Couldn’t be more happy with Rosie!

Hi Amanda! Stacks is doing good! His new name is Elvis and he now weighs 4.5 pounds. His health checks have gone well and he loves playing with his brother Curly. We just love having him in our home and he’s making himself at home for sure!
