I'm Mary (Kathy) C., the breeder behind California Dreamin’ Shih Tzus located in Clovis, CA. I’m passionate about Shih Tzus and am excited to responsibly share them with the world! I offer top-quality, loving pups. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program. My dogs are what transform my house into a loving home.
