I'm Leahrae A., the breeder behind Leahrae's Shih Tzus located in Coweta, OK. Loving, small-scale breeders raising healthy, happy Shih Tzus with top care, socialization, and family-focused attention. At our home, dogs are truly part of the family. We are passionate, ethical Shih Tzu breeders focused on raising healthy, happy, and well-loved companions. With just one male and one female—both purebred and deeply cherished—we raise our puppies in a nurturing, home-based setting where they receive round-the-clock love and attention from the moment they’re born. We strongly believe that quality breeding starts with excellent care. Our dogs enjoy high-quality nutrition, regular veterinary checkups, proper grooming, and lots of play and snuggles. Our breeding approach is centered around health, temperament, and early socialization, so each puppy is well-prepared to adjust to family life, whether with individuals, couples, or growing households. We raise our puppies with care and patience, exposing them to everyday home life, gentle handling, and positive human interaction. Our goal is to match each puppy with a forever family that will love and care for them as deeply as we do. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and joyful companion, our Shih Tzus are a perfect fit. We’re happy to answer any questions and support you even after adoption—we consider every puppy part of our extended family.
Q. & A. with Leahrae
Why did you start breeding?
It really just decided this after I got my second Shih Tzu. I have a female (Sophie who is a brindle) and my male (Scout who is a Tri Color). I will probably only breed Sophie one more time, depending how this affect her health and her personally. I bought both of mine from a wonderful breeder, and they are a pure gift that I would like to give someone else.
What makes your program special?
Just that my furry babies are well loved and cared for. I truly love them and really any dog that stays in my home.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tricolor and gold and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
