Meet the breeder

I'm Louann W., the breeder behind LuLu’s Shih Tzu’s of Michigan located in Ann Arbor, MI. Each of our dogs has brought so much happiness to us throughout their lives. We want to do our part to produce wonderful DNA/Genetic tested 100% Shih Tzu’s that are healthy and happy dogs who will bring other people joy as well, and we strive to provide each of our puppies with a loving forever home!

Q. & A. with Louann

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I’ve always wanted to try to breed Shih Tzu’s because of my love for the breed. After I retired and during Covid, I decided to take the leap. Two years later I am proud to announce my litter of three puppies!

  • What makes your program special?

    I am a small home breeder that puts my all in to my dogs. Everything from nutrition to love. I love this breed and I would like everyone to understand the love and the loyalty that these dogs have to offer us.

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

    Our puppies include sable, black, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
