Q. & A. with Ashley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Crown & Tress Shih Tzu, based in Wilberforce, Ohio, began from a deep love and appreciation for the Shih Tzu breed. My journey started with my first Shih Tzu, whose charm, loyalty, and beautiful coat captured my heart. Inspired by this wonderful experience, I decided to share the joy that Shih Tzus bring by starting my own breeding program.

  • What makes your program special?

    At Crown & Tress Shih Tzu, we are proud to offer a unique and exceptional breeding program that stands out in several ways. Our Shih Tzus live on our charming hobby farm in Wilberforce, Ohio, where they enjoy the best of both worlds: the freedom to explore and play in a natural environment and the comfort of being pampered companions. Our dogs are cherished members of our family, receiving constant love, attention, and care.

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

    Our puppies include sable, black and tan, chocolate, black, liver, blue, red, and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We had an absolutely heartwarming experience with Ashley and her family. Prince Duke Ruston (Now Herman) is fitting in so beautifully in our new home with our senior shih tzu, Pudge. 🐶🐶🤎🐾💚 You can truly tell what a great breeder Ashley is & how deeply she cares about the puppies and that theyre going to genuinely loving, good homes 🏡! We appreciate that she's reached out to see how the puppy is doing since getting home. She made sure we had everything for the puppy! She was willing to work with us on travel and timing to secure our puppy safely ❤️ Herman has been very well tempered and behaved for a puppy. He sleeps through the night. He eats drinks and uses the potty without issue! He has the most beautiful coat and a sweet little puppy bark. He gets the little zoomies. You truly wont regret going with her if youre looking for a trusted shih tzu breeder. The vet said the puppy was in great health too. Our senior shih tzu was from another breeder who did not breed correctly & due to this he was born with an umbilical cord hernia. Our last puppy was also not as well mannered or trained this early on. 🤎❤️Herman has just truly been the biggest blessing to our family right before the holidays 🙏🏻

    Hello Ashley, we had a wonderful experience working with you. Your communication was outstanding. Our sweet boys are doing fantastic. They sleep through the night and only had an accident the first night in the crate. They know to go potty on the pad and they have both learned to come when their name is called. They love each other and are very playful along with being snuggly. We are very happy to have them both as part of our family. Our 11 year old Shih tzu watches from a distance but she is warming up to them. Thank You for taking such good care of them.

    Working with Ashley was a dream come true! She was responsive and professional throughout the process, and answered all my questions. She provided very valuable puppy transition information prior to delivery day, and helped make the process seamless. It’s evident that Ashley works with her pups on the basics prior to them finding their forever homes. Our Louie is so well-adjusted, it’s hard to believe he’s only a few months old. This is our first time adding a fur family member to our pack, but we would certainly do it again because of our experience with Ashley.

    Ashley is an excellent breeder and perfect for our family. She provided us with an incredibly seamless experience. Her extensive knowledge and excellent communication skills made the entire process effortless. As a lifelong Shih Tzu enthusiast, this marks the third Shih Tzu in my own home. He’s getting along wonderfully with his brother Milo. He’s absolutely perfect. I can’t thank her enough! New memories await us! 🥰

    Ashley has a wonderful breeding program! Finding a breeder with ethical breeding practices was my number one priority. And, I was so impressed with not only our puppy, but her adult dogs as well. They were friendly, confident, and very happy and healthy looking dogs. From day one, our puppy has been brave, playful, and so loving. He was immediately comfortable with the chaos of our busy family, great with our 5 year old, and relaxed with our dog and cat. Our vet was also impressed with our puppy's health and temperament. Ashley has also been quick to answer my questions since bringing our new baby home. I'm so grateful we found Crown and Tress, and we couldn't love our puppy more.

    You can really tell that Ashley loves what she does. The time and effort she has put in to make everything so smooth and professional shows. I have worked at a veterinary hospital for 9 years and am very impressed by everything she does. I will always recommend her to everyone and hope to one day work with her again! I cannot say enough good things. My experience with her has been 10/10. I am so excited to have Kimchi in my life and will forever be thankful to Ashley and her family.
