Meet the breeder

I'm Taya F., the breeder behind Charlemagne Shih Tzus located in Auburn, IN. We value responsible breeding practices and want to do our part to ensure that that our dogs and puppies are healthy, well socialized, and those that compliment the breed standard! We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!

Q. & A. with Taya

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the Shih Tzu breed 14 years ago when I got my first Shih Tzu as a pet!! I then wanted to start showing and raising them! They are the best companion dogs that just want to be with you, whatever you are doing!!

  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs come from quality bloodlines with many show champions! I prefer the look and temperament of the "show" quality Shih Tzus! They will be standard size and weight as according to breed standard! It is my goal to continue that in my puppies and have them be forever loving family members!

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

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

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
