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 types in your program?

    Chihuahua puppies include smooth and long coat varieties. Coat types may 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. Chihuahua puppies include merle, chocolate, blue, fawn brindled black, chocolate and white, chocolate and tan, blue and white, blue merle, black and white, blue and tan, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    My journey for my new baby with Lindsey from start to finish was top tier. I value quality, so I didn’t want to purchase a puppy from anywhere. So I did my research and found good dog. After carefully reading reviews and browsing through breeders. I stumbled upon Lindsey, my spirit found my baby on her page. I was hesitant at first but, once I reached out. I found that Lindsey was super professional, helpful and made my experience easy and peaceful. She is the real deal. She makes sure that your puppy has all his necessary shots before pick up and even microchipped my baby. I truly had an amazing experience with Lindsey. My new fur baby Sable, is super sweet and very well mannered, for a puppy. He’s the perfect addition to our growing family. Lindsey Thank you for everything. I would definitely be recommending more people to Gemini Kennels. They are the real deal. If you want to make sure that you’re getting a good quality puppy. Gemini Kennels is it. I will be getting another puppy in the future. I will be a returning customer. Sable is happy and Healthy, and that’s all that matters! Thank s Lindesy!!💖🫶🏾

    Lindsey was great to work with and made it possible for me to surprise my wife with our new fur baby. She was very helpful and responsive to all of my questions. She did a wonderful job of taking care of Louie until we brought him home!

    Puppy is fine doing really good potty training. He is so tentative to us and I believe he loves us a lot.
