Meet the breeder

I'm Maria V., the breeder behind Maria's Shih Tzus located in Hesperia, CA. The first few weeks of a dog’s life are critical for their development, so we raise our puppies with lots of group and individual attention, plus the best socialization and care that we can provide! We want each of our puppies to be prepared for their new lives in their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Maria

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding when I was very young. For my 18 birthday I was gifted a Shihtzu and I ever since I got that puppy I always loved dogs!

  • What makes your program special?

    I try my best to have my puppy well checked. I take them to the vet to make sure everything is okay and everything always come back good. The mom and dad always have their vitamins and that's what makes the puppies so strong and healthy.

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

    Our puppies include black, liver, black gold and silver, black and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
