Meet the breeder

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.

Q. & A. with Mary (Kathy)

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Shih Tzus for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. My puppies live with me in my home, where I give them lots of love and care. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!

  • What makes your program special?

    I am passionate about Shih Tzus, and my love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of my breeding program. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and the integrity of my program. I can't wait to have the opportunity to speak with you more about my program and connect you with your next Shih Tzu puppy!
