Meet the breeder
I'm Rachel R., the breeder behind Magnolia Tzus located in Rockville Centre, NY. Our dogs are all cared for in a loving home. We begin holding them the day they are born. They grow up with mom’s care in our living room. All of our puppies are well socialized with great temperaments, beautiful coats, exceptional health, and are registered with American Kennel Club.
Q. & A. with Rachel
Why did you start breeding?
With the passing of my Shih Tzu of 18 years, I decided I wanted to bring the joy she brought me to others. I am a stay at home mom and I sell real estate. Raising Shih Tzus brings me a lot of fulfillment and happiness. All of our puppies are part of our family before going to their new homes to join yours. It is my honor to raise and care for them before being chosen by their new family.What makes your program special?
I have a very small breeding program. All mothers and fathers live inside of our home. The puppies are raised in our living room so they get used to sounds sights, and smells and become very socialized. We hold them from the first day of birth and every day until leaving. They have exceptional health, genetics, and temperament. Our puppies see a vet and are vaccinated before leaving.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Rachel
Rachel has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Rachel partners with them to find the best puppy match.
“We take great care in placing each puppy with the right family. Temperaments can usually be assessed around 4 to 6 weeks. Having a Shih Tzu is a very big commitment as they live 15+ years. We are looking for homes where people are committed to this long life of loving a Shih Tzu.”
Price
“The price includes the first vet visit and vaccines, AKC registration, health guarantee and socialization skills and some potty training. A letter is given with the deposit which states the puppy will be in good health and checked by a vet before leaving. If not, or something should happen to the puppy, the deposit is returned.”

We can’t wait to see her babies!!

About Georgie
Georgie is the sweetest loving little muffin. When he yawns, he lets out a tiny roar so we knick-named him Mufasa. He is kind to all the other dogs and loves to play. Anyone that comes to our home, falls in love with Georgie!

Poppy is spunky, sweet and very loving! She is the boss of all the other dogs and is the best mom! She truly loves her puppies and even when they are not eating, you can find her snuggling with them!
