Q. & A. with Stephanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had bought a Shih Tzu from my girlfriend that was my Breeder. All of my friends and family really loved her and told me I should breed her. I didn’t put any thought into it. One day I said let’s Give it a try. I tried to find a stud that was too overwhelming so I bought a stud. My OG female is Ava and my OG male is Niko. They both are still living. I am on my 3rd generation. I have been a breeder of Shih Tzu’s Since 2012.

  • What makes your program special?

    I try not to outdo others. I try not to outdo PRICE by undercutting other breeders. If my families want to go another direction Because my prices are too high, I encourage them and try to find them another breeder within their price range. I have families that follow my page that Ask for advice, even though they haven’t bought a puppy for me and I do not mind giving the advice. Everyone in this world needs a village so I try to be there for support whether you buy my dog or you do not.

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

    Our French Bulldog puppies include fawn, blue fawn, and blue. Shih Tzu puppies include chocolate and tan, black, liver, red, silver and white, black and white, liver and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
