I'm Aleacia O., the breeder behind Country Shih Tzu located in Johnstown, PA. We’re so excited to be able to help families experience the longtime loyalty of welcoming a new puppy into their lives!

Q. & A. with Aleacia
Why did you start breeding?
It started with my love for shih tzus then it developed into my every day life. I wanted my females to be able to be mommas one time and I fell in love with watching them and helping them and watching the pups go to there new families! MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS WHOLE THING is watching the new family’s receive there baby and seeing the looks on there face and how the pup reacts!
What makes your program special?
I devote all my time and energy into my puppy’s and dogs. I make sure they are well cared for and are ready for there new homes.. I socialize the pups with other dogs, cats, children ect to make sure it’s going to be as easy for you and the pup as possible
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
