Maldiz shih tzu
Meet the breeder
I'm Angel D., the breeder behind Maldiz shih tzu located in Winter Haven, FL. Hello we are Angel Diaz and Frankie Maldonado. During the past 15 years we have been breeding, raising, and showing Shih Tzus in our home town Puerto Rico, and now here in Florida. This passion started when we got our first lovely Shih Tzu puppy who captured our heart and our souls immediatly. The love and the feeling for our puppy made us want to know deeply about the temperament, standard, structure, and beauty of this breed. After attending some Dog shows as spectators and researching about this sport, we decided to compete and enjoy this beautiful hobby with our own Dogs. In the past years, we can say that we have achieved merits and have been awarded with tittles such as American Championship, National Championship, Panamerican Championship, International Championship, American and Caribbean Championship with many group placements such as; Best in Show position, Group 1 and Best Puppy In Show. At this time we continue to work hard to maintain a quality level of our Shih Tzu according to the American Kennel Club Standard. If you are interested in learning more about our little ones and the breed, we invite you to take advantage of our web page.
