I'm Miriam M., the breeder behind Mary’s Shih Tzus located in Zephyrhills, FL. Our dogs are our beloved companions. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible Shih Tzu breeders! Raising puppies has been so much fun, although we take our role in raising them seriously. Breeding has helped us share the joy of our dogs with other families and individuals. We hope our puppies bring lots of joy and love into the hearts of their new families!
