Meet the breeder

I'm Diana S., the breeder behind Precious Shih Tzus located in Elk Grove, CA. We’re so excited to be able to help families experience the longtime loyalty of welcoming a new puppy into their lives! We are home-based breeders dedicated to bringing healthy, loving, and high-quality puppies into the homes and hearts of their forever families. We love our dogs and are passionate about raising our puppies to be the best family companions. We breed for beauty, health and temperament. We feel that Quality takes precedence over quantity, and our breeding program aims to share our passion for Shih Tzu with individuals who desire more than just a dog but a family member. As breeders, our goal is to produce dogs of exceptional quality, beauty, and Greta family members that are ready to step into the spotlight, while also exhibiting the temperament required to be therapy dogs, beloved family companions, lap babies, or even partners in agility or obedience activities. We take great pride in our breeding program. To provide you with peace of mind, we offer a written 1-year health guarantee against life-threatening genetic defects. Additionally, we provide a lifetime home guarantee for each of our puppies. Should unforeseen circumstances arise, we are committed to taking back any of our dogs at any point in their lives to ensure they never end up in a rescue or worse. These cherished companions deserve a lifetime of love, and with a healthy lifespan of 12-18 years, they become an integral part of your family. Thank you for considering our Shih Tzu, and we look forward to sharing the joy and companionship of our exceptional Shih Tzu puppies with you.
