Meet the breeder
I'm TomPaula M., the breeder behind Farm Animal Mommy Shih tzu's Michalek Dog Breeder located in Missouri. We are AKC inspected and meet all requirements. Puppies are all socialized before going to new homes and have the proper vaccines and wormer done. Every puppy has been microchiped and I include a "To Do" list after receiving you new baby.
Q. & A. with TomPaula
Why did you start breeding?
We got my first Shih tzu because my husband developed an allergy to dogs. We noticed he didn't have any symptoms when we were around a family members dog... it was a shih tzu! Hypoallergenic!!! I wanted my children to experience of raising puppies...What makes your program special?
We work with our veterinarian on a vaccine and medication schedule for all litters and adult dogs. Any umbilical hernias will be automatically fix by the seller.. nose snares are also taken care of... most puppues go to their new homes at 8 weeks... Seller will hold back any puppy that needs more time to grow. Buyers are updated constantly...What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate, tricolor, lilac, liver, liver and white, black gold and white, brindle and white, black and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

We had such a wonderful experience working with them! They were so kind, professional, and clearly cared deeply about the puppies. They kept us updated every week with pictures, videos, and little updates about our girl, Miss Minnie, which made the whole process so special and exciting. You could tell Minnie was loved and well cared for before coming home to us. We are so thankful for the communication, transparency, and overall amazing experience, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a new furry family member!

TomPaula raises such beautiful dogs. When we picked up our puppy, we was given all the information needed to care for our new baby. She was up to date on her vaccinations and was also already chipped. Bella has been very energetic and her first vet visit got a clean bill of health! Next is a grooming visit! We could not be happier with the choice we made getting our pup from TomPaula! Thank you!
