Q. & A. with Marcelino
Why did you start breeding?
I began raising Shih Tzu in 2012 with my very first love, Chanel! She made every day just a little better and I am so very thankful to have been her papa. I have gradually over the years continuously educated myself on our breed and continue to do so today.What makes your program special?
My specialty is that I focus on high-quality features such as babydoll faces, confirmation, voluptuous personalities, and full coats! I am passionate about Shih Tzus and my love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of my breeding program.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
