Q. & A. with Manuel
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Shih Tzus began as a pet owner. I was drawn to their affectionate nature, beauty, and charm. Wanting to learn more, I connected with experienced breeders and began showing.

My breeding program is built on a foundation of health, temperament, and breed standard excellence. I prioritize careful selection of breeding pairs to produce well-rounded, healthy puppies. Each puppy is raised with early socialization and personalized care. With many champion dogs, my program combines show-quality genetics and loving companions.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, gold and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
