I'm April, the breeder behind Precious Peekapoo’s and Luxurious Shih Tzu’s located in Albany, NY. Our Shih Tzu pups are home-raised. We put a lot of care into socializing them so they can transition easily into their new lives. We are dog lovers through and through! Our pups are such an important part of our lives, and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s an amazing experience as breeders to provide others with puppies that we know will bring them the same joy!

I am in Awe of how simple, reliable and friendly April was to work with. She accommodated all my needs and I was pleasantly surprised by all the additional photos and information she supplied me with. My recent loss of my husband & our elderly Shihpoo, was what prompted my search. I am forever grateful to her.

April was wonderful. I wanted somebody close to home because I was scammed in the winter. April could not have been more helpful and hopeful she brought the dog to me and then sent me pictures and told me everything that was happening. It was a wonderful experience and the dog is perfect.
