Q. & A. with Nitoria

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I owned my first Shih Tzu named Reese’s at 13. From there my love grew for the breed! I then got my sweet baby Sugar shortly after Reese’s passed. I met a friend in 2021 who’s been breeding for 13yrs and had the opportunity to spend 3 years learning about the labor, health testing, and dogs overall. I connected with other breeders for further knowledge and decided to start my own program!

  • What makes your program special?

    We offer a range of colors but most importantly we ensure our puppies are beyond socialized, trained, and healthy for our forever families.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include lilac, chocolate, liver, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Working with Nitoria was great. She was always very responsive and sent updates and photos/videos at least once a week. I am so happy to have Poppy, formerly Matcha. She is such a sweetheart and has a big personality already! You can tell that Nitoria loves her dog and puppies.

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
