Q. & A. with Caroline
Why did you start breeding?
Warm & Personal
My journey into breeding started with my own Shih Tzus. They quickly became beloved members of my family, and through caring for them I developed a deep appreciation for the breed’s loving personality. I decided to breed on a small scale so I could raise puppies in a home environment and help them grow into affectionate, well-socialized companions.
What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special is that it’s small and home-based. My Shih Tzus are raised as part of my family, and the puppies receive daily attention, love, and early socialization to help them grow into confident, affectionate companions.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan, black, gold, silver and white, and gold and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
