I'm Gregory L., the breeder behind Ista located in Florida. Our dogs excel both in and out of the show ring. They are excellent representations of the breed and have wonderful temperaments. Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the unique characteristics specific to Shih Tzu while striving to produce puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation. We are proud of our dogs and their puppies, and it is always our goal to preserve and better the breed with each litter.
Gregory has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Gregory may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Gregory offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Gregory directly.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Gregory.
