Meet the breeder
I'm Tammy B., the breeder behind Becraft's Shih Tzu of Valhalla located in Catonsville, MD. When we breed we are looking to better the breed. We dna test every dog including the litter of puppies before they go to their forever homes to insure that they are genetically healthy. Our babies are family. They sleep in our beds and are treated like royalty. We look for loving homes/breeders.
Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved the breed and back when my son was a baby I had started but life happened and so did a divorce. Now I am in a place that I can enjoy spending the day caring for the litters and the momma’s. Watching them grow brings such joy.What makes your program special?
My babies are with me till they are 12 weeks old so they transition better to their new homes. They come with a copy of their own dna work ups if done, microchipped, typically 2 sets shots, 2 neopar shots, dewormed and treated with a coccidia preventative as well as a take home bag, food, thier vet clearance and akc paper work. Their bottoms are groomed to keep poop from sticking as well.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Tammy is great.. She’s very knowledgeable about the breed. Shes very caring and responsive. She educates new parents on how to care for their new babies.. She provided me with literature to read as well.. The pick up was really nice, my daughter and I were very excited and Tammy wanted to make sure her baby was going to a home where she would be loved and cared for properly. You can just feel the love she has for her babies. That means a lot. If I were looking to add to my family I would most definitely go to Tammy!
