Meet the breeder
I'm Karen Y., the breeder behind LacShen Chinese Cresteds located in Garland, TX. Our dogs excel in the ring and as beloved companions and we are very proud of their accomplishments and of their puppies. I'm an AKC Breeder of Merit and take great care planning each litter to ensure we are producing puppies that are exemplary representations of the breed. It is our passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Chinese Crested.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I began showing Shih Tzu in 1985 and had a small successful breeding program. The first Chinese Crested joined the family around 2000, and they gradually took over, until there is only one 15 year old Shih tzu left. I have enjoyed breeding and showing my Cresteds, though my breeding program is small.What makes your program special?
I love true hairless cresteds, and I also like beautiful powderpuffs. My dogs are my family and permit me to share their home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
