Q. & A. with Krystn
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up, our family is well experienced in the breeding community back in Hawaii. Once we moved on our own with our dogs, we decided to become breeders ourselves.What makes your program special?
We strive to produce exotic colors for Shihtzus which include rare colors such as chocolate, solid black, and pups with tan markings. We want our customers to have the best of the best.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
