Meet the breeder

I'm Corinna R., the breeder behind Cerda’s Precious Paws located in Sanger, CA. We are a small in home Shih Tzu breeder dedicated to raising healthy, happy, well socialized puppies. Our dogs are cherished family members, raised in our home with daily love and care. We focus on quality and responsible breeding, ensuring each puppy is cared for and matched with the perfect family.

Q. & A. with Corinna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My journey into breeding began with my love for this breed. After bringing home my first Shih Tzu, I was captivated by their affectionate personalities and charming appearance. Seeing how wonderful they are with children inspired me to start a small in home program focused on health, temperament, and raising happy, well socialized puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    What sets my breeding program apart is that every puppy is truly raised as part of our family. Surrounded by daily love, interaction, and normal household life, they develop into confident, affectionate, and well adjusted companions. I’m committed to their health, temperament, and lifelong happiness, and to helping families welcome the perfect puppy into their home.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Corinna

Corinna has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Corinna partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.

“My goal is to match each puppy with the family that best fits their personality and needs. I take time to get to know my puppies as they grow so I can understand their temperaments, energy levels, and individual traits. I also take time to learn about each family’s lifestyle, home environment, and what they are looking for in a companion. Rather than choosing based only on color or appearance, I focus on making sure the puppy’s personality is a good fit for the family. Puppies are matched in the order deposits are received, once they are old enough for temperament to be evaluated. My priority is ensuring each puppy goes to a loving, committed home where they will thrive.”
