Meet the breeder

I'm Karla L., the breeder behind Karla’s Shih Tzus located in Takoma Park, MD. I'm a home-based breeder with quality CKC Shih Tzu pups! I focus on color in my program and strive to produce the most adorable puppies! I raise each and every puppy by hand to ensure a reliable temperament and cherished companionship with its new owner. I want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!

Q. & A. with Karla

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I love my own Shih Tzus so much that I want to share their amazing qualities with others! I am passionate about Shih Tzus and have built that love and respect for the breed into every aspect of my program.

  • What makes your program special?

    My program is special because of my dogs. They are happy, healthy, and never fail to fill my day-to-day life with lots of enrichment and love! My breeding program has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    The timeline between applying and visiting the dog was short. The mom and dad were there during my visit. The puppy was healthy, and after six weeks with him, I can say it was 100% a positive experience to adopt with Karla.
