Breeder of Shih Tzus

Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Regina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My grandmother was a famous Miniature Schnauzers breeder. She taught me the love of animals and the passion to breed health happy puppies. When I realized I couldn't have more than one child. I decided to bring babies in my life by following my grandmother's philosophy. So I decided to give love to the world through my puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    My belief is if you bring a life in this world you need to do something for the lives already here. So the profits to my breeding goes to my rescue. I always say that I am different from most breeders. I am the life of the furbaby. I am here night or day for questions or concerns. These are not dogs to me, they are my grandpups and my love for their parents always extends to the puppies.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
