Q. & A. with Lameka
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because I truly fell in love with the Shih Tzu breed—their sweet temperament, loyalty, and gentle nature. What began as a personal passion grew into a small, responsible program focused on health, temperament, and raising well-socialized, loving puppies.
What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special is the hands-on care and attention each puppy receives. Raised in my home as part of the family, my Shih Tzus get early socialization, lots of love, and a healthy start. I focus on producing well-tempered, high-quality puppies ready to become cherished companions.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream and white, liver, gold, gold and white, and liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
