Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up my mom bred Persian Cats, so I’ve always had interest in raising animals. I have had a few breeds of dogs but Shih Tzus have my heart! I want to bring joy to other families by producing puppies with health and temperament in mind.What makes your program special?
We raise our puppies in the home where my 3 kids help in caring for them and socializing. They are exposed to lots of noise and different things. We put a lot of time and effort into our puppies.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver and white and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Everything has gone so well either way our little pups. We named them Ruthie and Sally. They are happy, rambunctious little things and are healthy and growing well. We could tell that the Lopez Family had done a good job socializing the pups in their first weeks because they love everyone they meet—especially kids—and they’re not fearful when we try new things. Also, Ashley had trained them on the litter box, so while they’re doing very well going potty outside, if the can’t wait or at night they just use the litter box. That was a life changing tip! I highly recommend Lopez Family Tails. These little shihtzu pups are smart, happy dogs. I also recommend getting two because they are comforting to each other and the love to wrestle!!

Ashley was very fast to respond and easy to work with. I love my beautiful puppy. The most perfect puppy in every way. Also the puppy already knew to only pee on the pew pads. Amazing.
