Q. & A. with Darrielle
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding Shih Tzus because of my deep love for the breed’s unique charm, affectionate nature, and beauty. I love their happy personality and friendliness towards people. It began with a desire to share the joy of having a Shih Tzu with others and the fulfillment of raising happy, healthy puppies and providing families with loving companions.
What makes your program special?
My puppies are raised in a loving, hands-on environment, that fosters confidence and affection towards people and other animals. They amount of socialization they receive before going home makes them very confident and sure of themselves.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate, black, liver, gold, red, red and white, liver and white, gold and white, black gold and silver, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
