Q. & A. with Christye

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A family member had to move into the nursing home, I adopted her senior Shih Tzu and instantly fell in love with the breed. They are so smart, lovable, stubborn and the perfect lap dog. I got 2 puppies after that and my breeding business grew slowly to what it is now.

    Christye was such a blessing to work with. I had recently lost my Shih Tzu, Loretta and was having a really hard time getting a new puppy. She was so sweet and answered all my questions so quickly. Very very easy to contact and very easy to work with. Was very very accommodating. As for the puppy I finally got, she is perfect. When I say perfect, I mean perfect. She is everything a Shih Tzu is supposed to be. Very socialized, very playful, excellent with my grandkids, and physically beautiful. Would recommend Christye 100% to anyone.
