About Booshie
Meet Booshie – Our Tiny Queen Bee
Booshie is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu–Maltese mix with a big personality in a small package. She may be the tiniest of our four dogs, but don’t let her size fool you—she runs the show! Booshie is adventurous at heart and loves being outdoors, whether she’s soaking up the sun or exploring the yard like it’s her kingdom. She’s bold, feisty, and full of sass, but she’s also incredibly nurturing—earning her the nickname The Mother in our home. With her loyal heart and confident spirit, Booshie is the definition of a little boss lady.

About Dash
Meet the Dad – “Da Man”
This handsome guy is a purebred Shih Tzu with a chill, lovable personality and a playful spirit. At six years old, he’s the proud father of all our litters—consistently producing strong, healthy pups (usually 6 to 7 in every litter!). He’s black and white with a short, stocky build, and we call him Da Man because he’s got that confident, smooth energy—definitely a little player in his own right!
