I'm Stacey S., the breeder behind Happy Haven Farm located in Boaz, AL. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours. The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others.
Q. & A. with Stacey
Why did you start breeding?
We began breeding over 30 years ago with our amazing little Pixie Pie. She stole our hearts from day 1. She was the smartest little girl we had ever seen. We decided to breed so that we could share these lovable babies with others.
What makes your program special?
We chose to create a breeding program with Shihtzu’s because of the good nature and personality that this breed possesses. It makes our hearts happy when we can make someone smile by placing their new little buddy in their hands. We feel like we are serving the community by helping people who need a little furry friend to share their life with.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

A highly recommended Stacy and told me she was with Good Dog. Stacy, was wonderful to work with. Stacy sent me information, photos, and videos during the six month wait. The whole experience was excellent and I would recommend Stacy, and Good Dog to anyone! I now have the puppy of my dreams. Thank you so very much Stacy for all that you did!
