I'm Jenna W., the breeder behind Good Fortune Shih Tzus located in Mindenmines, MO. Our shih tzu are bred to be healthy and socialized. Having 30 yrs within the pet industry I know the importance of healthy socialized parents and that the first 8 wks in a puppies life is the critical socializing period for a happy well adjusted family member.
Q. & A. with Jenna
Why did you start breeding?
My late husband and I raised beagles and shih tzus for 18+ years since I was a stay home mom. I married into a beagle hunting family but fell in love with shih tzus back in 1997. My mom Pamela started Good Fortune shih tzu where I joined with her right before her passing in 2023. Now Mike and myself are carrying on the tradition by offering healthy pre spoiled shih tzus.
What makes your program special?
Most people have the opportunity to have a few dogs in their lifetime that they love. We strive through health and early socialization to offer that "once in a lifetime" pet. The one with extra personality and special bond to their people.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate, black gold and white, and red and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
