Q. & A. with Jasmine
Why did you start breeding?
My breeding program focuses on maintaining the unique characteristics specific to Shih Tzus while striving to produce puppies of excellent structure and health. I have been very fortunate to work with an incredible mentor along the way!
What makes your program special?
Through creating an environment of serenity and care for my puppies, I know I am able to give each precious pup the very best chance to reach their potential, express their unique personality, and have a loving, well-rounded temperament. I focus mainly on the healthy development of all our puppies because we know that each one is unique and deserving of undivided love and attention!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Jasmine was great to work with, she answered all of my questions very quickly.
On the day of getting my beautiful puppy Jasmine explained what and when the puppy would eat and also had all her vetting and registration paperwork available for me to take home. The goody bag was awesome, a blanket, some toys and treats and a little bag of food to mix with ours to get her used to the food we use. I would highly recommend her as a good breeder.
