Q. & A. with Kayla
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always loved Shihtzus, and used to play with one across the street as a little girl. We started out with breeding jacktzus, and then decided to get into breeding AKC shihtzus for hypoallergenic pups! We love these dogs like our own children, and hope you will do the same 🤍
What makes your program special?
We’ve fallen in love with the breed and our clients! Our dogs are from championship bloodlines, they are akc registered, they are exposed to other voices and people, tv, equipment as we live on a farm, other dogs, chickens etc. they’re used to all noises! We live on a mountain so they are also used to a higher elevation.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
