Meet the breeder

I'm Lindsey H., the breeder behind Gemini Kennels located in Newark, OH. Our dogs are part of our family and each puppy is raised indoors as one of our own pets. The goal we set and which we believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.

Q. & A. with Lindsey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved dogs, and the first dog I ever bred was a Shih Poo when I was only 12. I shadowed a vet and he was my mentor for many years teaching me all he could about whelping and caring for litters.

  • What makes your program special?

    All of our puppies are raised inside our home and interact with people of all ages and dogs of all sizes. They are overly pampered and spoiled and each one is very special to us. We incorporate ENS protocol and handle every puppy as often as possible. We also start a grooming schedule to get them used to being groomed.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Shihpoo puppies include tiny and mini sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Shih Tzu puppies include black, liver, blue, liver and white, blue 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 guardian homes.

    I know this is said all the time now, but Lindsey is a puppy whisperer!! From the moment that we felt that little Elvis wanted us to be his parents Lindsey was kind and professional. She was very responsive and helped us feel at ease. Lindsey sent weekly photos and videos which was a Godsend since we had to fly to meet them. When we got little Elvis he was well mannered, friendly with other people and very mature for 10 weeks old. As we needed to take two flights home with a several hour delay Elvis was friendly to all and so well mannered!! I cannot recommend Lindsey enough!!! Seriously though, her puppies are very well loved and cared for.

    It’s been over 4 months now and we are so happy with our puppy! Pippin is smart and stubborn and full of that puppy energy. He has passed all his health checks and is now fully vaccinated. The kids love him and he is my little shadow around the house. Truly a joy to have in our family!

    Lindsey was excellent to work with. Lindsey answered all of our questions promptly about our puppy as well as helped us secure a dog transporter who was wonderful. We love our puppy Frankie and appreciate Lindsey's loving care and work with him prior to us getting him. Frankie is healthy, happy and is a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you Lindsey and Gemini Kennels ~The Miller's

    We had a great experience getting our little Jasper. He is so precious. Lindsey met me halfway and was so helpful with the process and keeping us up to date with his progress and health. I would highly recommend gettting one of her puppies.

    Lindsey was wonderful to work with and we just love our pups. So glad she started using the names we had chosen right away so they recognized them. Also the blankets they had used were very comforting to them. Great experience
