Meet the breeder
I'm Barbara B., the breeder behind Palaquin located in Illinois. We are members in good standing with the American Shih Tzu Club, and fervently believe in the whole dog and the dog's life, not the immediate gratification of a dog's show win. Every person has a passion, in their hearts and in their souls. Our passion is our Shih Tzu.
Q. & A. with Barbara
Why did you start breeding?
I've been with the shih tzu since probably about 1980 and actively breeding since 1990. I bought her her first shih tzu around then and we bred them together.What makes your program special?
I am a member of three different Shih Tzu clubs and my dogs have an excellent show record. Currently, one of my boys is #2 in all of the United States.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
