Fantasy Shih Tzu

Susan K.

Breeder of Shih Tzus

Meet the breeder

I'm Susan K., the breeder behind Fantasy Shih Tzu located in Green Lake, WI. I am a firm believer that careful planning and breed knowledge are key to any successful breeder/exhibitor. There is so much more to be learned about our breed via exhibiting them.

Q. & A. with Susan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My story is like so many of us who at some point lost a valuable pet companion and began searching for just the right one to fill the empty place left behind. It was 1985 when I was first introduced to Shih Tzu. At that time, Shih Tzu here in Wisconsin were not as widely bred nor widely known. I came to find out that a Shih Tzu Club existed in the Milwaukee area and was about to hold a Sanction B Match open to anyone. I enthusiastically went to the event, exhibited and immediately applied for membership. I knew from the beginning that this breed was the right one for me and my family. It provided a wonderful opportunity to have fun in the sport of showing purebred dogs. From that point on, I was interested in the breed's quality, history, and related events. More specifically, I enjoyed conformation exhibiting and found it to be a challenge. A challenge to which I would make a commitment. What drew me to the sport was the love and beauty of Shih Tzu.

  • What makes your program special?

    I have had the pleasure of owning other wonderful Shih Tzu bred by terrific breeder fanciers and sponsored them to their championships. The opportunity to carefully select the sires and dams, attend to every litter, take time away on the weekends to exhibit my Tzu, has been afforded to me by my family and friends over the years.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
