Meet the breeder
I'm Amanda J., the breeder behind Jenkins Tzu and Poo’s located in Mattoon, IL. Our focus is to produce the best dogs of the highest quality so that other families can also enjoy the love of a Shih Tzu. These dogs have proven to be wonderful companions in our lives. It is a privilege to be able to share that love and friendship with others through responsible breeding. We also now breed mini poodles! We’re a small in home breeding program that raises our pups with lots of love and socializing.
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
I started 12 yrs ago when I got my first tzu and then decided to get a male and had my first litter. I did a lot of research asking other breeders, google, books, veterinary. I just fell in love with the breed and when I received such good feedback about my pups I decided to keep breeding. I also fell in love with poodle breed. So now breed both mini poodles and tzu! We love spoiling our pups!What makes your program special?
A lot of our pups have gone on to be service animals or emotional support animals. Both breeds I raise are hypoallergenic and non shedding so this helps people with allergies!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include gold, brindle and white, and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
