Meet the breeder
I'm Jenny J., the breeder behind Precious Tzu Crew located in Spring, TX. All my dogs are spoiled rotten. They have enough toys to last a decade, & have their own playground. Having been introduced to Shih Tzus in 1990, I am dedicated to the breed, & go beyond the call of duty for my customers. I breed for standard size (per AKC 9-16 pounds), but sometimes we get smaller.
Q. & A. with Jenny
Why did you start breeding?
After my Shih Tzu of 17 years died, I embarked to find another Shih Tzu. I quickly became frustrated by the lack of reputable breeders in my area, lack of quality within the breed, frustration with breeders who charge boutique prices but who do the bare minimum - or nothing, & have bad attitudes. I want my clients to be happy they got a puppy from me, & restore confidence in working with a breeder.What makes your program special?
My life revolves around my dogs, their puppies, & meeting their needs socially, mentally, & physically. I have high expectations for my dogs & puppies. We keep our puppies for as long as necessary until we find the perfect pet only home for them, socialize them with our adults, & integrate them with our routine. All applicants must fill out an application & be willing to video chat with me.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and tan, chocolate and tan, chocolate, black and tan, black, liver, blue, gold, red, silver, blue and white, red and white, liver and white, black white and silver, black and white, gold and white, white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Jenny
Jenny has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
“Pet only families. Prices vary according to gender, pigment, markings, & size. Spay/neuter contract is required. Most puppies chart 10-12 pounds. The AKC standard is 9-16 pounds for Shih Tzus. A non-refundable deposit goes toward your balance, & shows your commitment to purchasing a puppy from me. When a puppy has a deposit on it, that keeps someone else from purchasing the same puppy.”
Contract & health guarantee
Jenny may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Jenny offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Jenny directly.

Parent dogs
Abby, mom
Shih Tzu
About Abby
Abby is a very sweet solid black. Her mother has only one recessive gene that does not impact her health, and her father is 100% clear. Chances are Abby is 100% clear. Even if she inherited her mom's recessive gene, it will not impact her health, nor that of her offspring should they inherit the same gene. I will not be conducting anymore health testing on dogs whose history I know just to get a badge on GD. Health testing kits are very expensive.
Dottie, mom
Shih Tzu
About Dottie
Dottie is a tri-color parti, and very lovable. She loves cuddle time.

Prekallikrein Deficiency, Fletcher Trait.Leia, mom
Shih Tzu
About Leia
Leia carries one copy of the gene for DM (doggy version of Lou Gehrig's disease). It is a recessive gene, so nothing to worry about if she passes this gene to an offspring. Having one copy of this gene has no impact on the dog's health. Leia weighs 10 pounds and came from Ukraine. We plan to rehome Leia by the end of 2025. She is still young; her birthday is 9/12/21. Her rehoming fee will be $1200, and she will be spayed before she leaves my home. All retired adults who get rehomed are spayed/neutered prior to leaving, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, housebroken, crate trained, and get a teeth cleaning during their spay/neuter.

+6Jenny was so great with keeping us up to date on daily happenings! We didn’t have long between finding Rooster to picking him up. They were so helpful in meeting us at the Texas Louisiana state line. It made it possible to get back home to Pensacola without having to stop overnight somewhere.

Jenny was absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end! She was very knowledgeable about Shih Tzus in general, and very caring and loving over all of her pups. We brought our little Walker home a week ago, and he is just the sweetest, happiest little pup! His vet appointment went very smoothly - he’s very healthy, has great energy, and a wonderful disposition. Jenny kept me updated with videos, photos and updates before we got him. Thank you for everything!

I recently got Nico and the experience was smooth from start to finish. Communication was always timely, and I appreciated how organized everything was; from the initial conversations to coordinating drop off. Nico came well-socialized, confident, and clearly raised in a loving environment. Thank you for helping me add Nico to our family.

FABULOUS!!!! Jenny was great, kept me updated with videos prior to picking up my new furbaby, Marlee. My Vet was extremely impressed with the excellent condition Marlee was in!!!! Marlee received a clean bill of health. Thanks to Jenny’s expert advice on bringing Marlee’s stool sample with me, Marlee had a wonderful 1st experience at the vet. THANK YOU!

Jenny has been supportive & very nice to work with as we transitioned to owning & training a new puppy. It’s been over 15 years since we have trained a new dog. Jenny has provided a wealth of knowledge & advice about the Shih Tzu breed. We are in love with Monty as we try to keep up with his energy & antics!
