Meet the breeder
I'm Claudia R., the breeder behind Krazy Island Shih Tzu located in Mountain View, HI. We breed high-quality puppies. We love what we do and are committed to producing well-bred, healthy puppies for loving homes. The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! We put a great deal of effort into raising our litters to ensure our puppy families will have the best experience raising their new family members.
Q. & A. with Claudia
Why did you start breeding?
I come from a family of dog breeders as my parents bred dogs while I was growing up. I have been breeding dogs myself for over 20 years. I have been exclusively breeding Shih Tzu in the state of Hawaii since 2018. I absolutely fell in love with the breed after rescuing a Shih Tzu and learning more about the breed. I can't imagine my life without the love of a Shih Tzu.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are a huge part of our family and although our pups are raised in our home, we also work hard to ensure that they get off to a great start. To ensure that they have the best beginnings, our puppies go through a comprehensive curriculum tailored to their age. This provides them with the skills and aptitude to integrate into new homes with ease.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, liver, blue, silver, liver and white, brindle and white, black and white, gold and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Claudia

Price
Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and between $2,500 - $3,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.
“Puppies come with a one-year health guarantee, provided on a spay/neuter contract. Pups come microchipped, with up-to-date vaccinations, a travel carrier, a blanket that smells like home, a collar, a leash, a few of their favorite toys, and a small bag of their current food. If you reserve a specific puppy, your reservation fee secures that puppy until they are ready for their forever home. Pups are ready for homes once they reach at 8+ weeks old and at least 2lbs in weight. If you reserve a puppy from a future litter, your reservation fee secures your place in line to choose a puppy. In the event that you don't find a suitable pup from the available pups, your position will be held forward to future litters until you find the perfect match. Please note that reservation fees are non-refundable and are valid for one year (or longer if you maintain regular communication with me).”

Parent dogs
Bastian, dad
Shih Tzu
About Bastian
Bastian is our newest male having come to Hawaii from the mainland. Bash is such a sweet boy with an amazing personality. He loves attention and cuddles and is just always so happy. His soulful eyes just make your heart melt when he looks at you. He is a liver (which refers to the skin color) which means he has a brown nose and light eyes. Most livers have green or gold eyes. His coat is brindle and of amazing quality--so soft. His parents are much smaller than he is at 6 & 8lbs and come from smaller lines, so while Bash is a throwback that has grown to be a bit larger than expected, his pups tend to be smaller. Bastian not only brings a lot of joy to our home, but great genes for the pups that he sires.

Shih Tzu
About Raven
Raven is from one of the first litters we had born here in Hawaii (her mom is Stormie). She is a perfect doll with a great personality. She loves to be with her humans and want to go everywhere with us. She is quite the snuggle bug and she can get quite silly when the mood strikes her. She's one of those dogs that "talks" to you in quiet little wuffs, then prances her little feet and just makes you laugh out loud at her antics. Cuddling on the sofa or in bed is her favorite. She loves a good long snuggle especially if it involves some belly rubs.

Shih Tzu
About Binx
Binx is such a princess, and it's all our fault! She has as special relationship with my husband and is very in tune with other people's emotional needs. Shes one of the first dogs to come sit with someone who need comfort and just give them the comfort of her love and presence. She has a high level of emotional intelligence that allows her to realy see people's needs. She is also a lover of crinkle toys and thinks every squeaky toy is a challenge to see how quickly she can remove the squeaker! Needless to say, there's never a dull moment with Binx around.

Kirby was born and raised in our family and has a lovely personality. She is playful, yet also loves to come sit with us and cuddle or sleep beside us on the sofa.
