Q. & A. with Kerri

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Shih Tzus is what inspired me to begin breeding. I fell in love with their sweet personalities, beautiful faces, and the incredible companionship they bring to a family. What started as a love for the breed grew into a passion for raising healthy, happy, well-socialized puppies and sharing that same joy with other families. Every puppy is raised with love.

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

    Our puppies include black, liver, gold, red, silver, white, red and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
