Meet the breeder

I'm Dominique L., the breeder behind Boodaboo Shih Tzu’s located in Oak Park, CA. All of our puppies are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets for those seeking the best family companion! The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others.

Q. & A. with Dominique

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our gorgeous pup Minnie has had the best temperament and was the most beautiful dog we have had. Once we had her we became part of many shih tzu groups and learned everything we could about the breed. After time and consideration we decided to breed so that we could help create wonderful companions and share the love we have for the Shih Tzu’s.

  • What makes your program special?

    We are not a kennel, we only breed quality pups. Our pups are health tested and the parents are carefully vetted before breeding. We give time, attention, and training to all puppies and ensure they go home with everything needed for a successful transition to their new homes.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    My disabled friend who has lost all his family was looking for a companion similar to mine. We found Boodaboo through Good dog and Jaqueline was very patient and a great communicator as he was very nervous at first about being able to care for her. I am happy to report she is the love of his life and they are so happy together. She is a character and I am so happy for them. Lily turned 1 on Saturday and just wanted to share our experience!

    We had a very positive experience with Dominique. She happily answered our questions and gave us all the important information about our new little pup. She also supplied us with the few items we needed to travel home with him on the plane and made the purchase and transition very smooth. You can tell she cares so much for all her dogs and the homes that they go to. We had a great experience and love our new furry family member!

    My experience with Dominique was by far the best I’ve ever had with a breeder. Quick to respond, had answers to all of my questions and even made time to FaceTime & introduce me to Pesto to make sure it was the right fit for us both. She truly loves and cares for each of her puppies and it shows! Pesto my sweet puppy, is the PERFECT boy. He is just radiating with love, kisses, snuggles, and is so well mannered. He came potty trained with potty pads, and Dominique even gave us a few gifts to bring home to make sure it was a comfortable drive and transition. She sent me a few links to items she used and recommends (play pen, water bowls, puppy shampoo etc) and it really helped me prepare for him prior to our pick up. If you’re on the fence, I HIGHLY recommend to just reach out with any questions you have, Dominique is amazing and her puppies are full of love. Pesto, has been an absolute blessing, and has filled my heart with SO much love. He was the missing piece I’ve been looking for for so long & I am so thankful to Dominique for helping me find him 🤍

    I had a wonderful adoption experience, Dominque was responsive when I reached out about adopting Paddington and answered all my questions & FaceTime with me so I could see him. Dominque met me at the airport and had all of Paddington’s information, blankets, toys, some food and vitamins to take with me. Paddington was potty trained & healthy and was well taken care of and socialized. Dominique obviously loves her puppies and they are part of the family. I would highly recommend adopting from Dominique.

    I was so impressed by Dominique and the care she took with her dogs. Unlike other breeders, she never pressured us for a deposit and genuinely seemed to want the best home for her puppy. Otto is perfect. He has a wonderful disposition and is very healthy. We’re so grateful!
