Q. & A. with Monica
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in farms resulting in lots of experience in animal husbandry. I am a registered nurse so I have lots of medical and caretaker experience. I started breeding in 2008 whe I got a male companion for my female shih tzu. I now have 4 breeding females. 2 sires and one retired female named Booboo Rose who is the foundation of my girls.
What makes your program special?
Rose Lane Quality Shih Tzus produces breed standard, intelligent sweet tempered AKC shih tzus. My sire
SIR Raiden Handle Rose comes from exceptional linage. His great grandfather was the International world champion shih tzu in 2018. He is from Thomas Bright Odessa Joy line. My dogs are all extremely healthy and get regular veterinan health checks. Sir Raiden has had genetic DNA testing and results show No Abnormalities.
They have pleasant outgoing personalities and make wonderful additions to your home
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan, black, red, gold and white, black gold and silver, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Dealing with Monica was absolutely wonderful. She kept us informed and sent us regular updates and pictures of our little boy, Buddy! He is turning into a wonderful little guy. He is now partially potty trained, but he has trouble nipping because he is only 3 months old and getting in his teeth. Just a wonderful experience and a wonderful puppy and the best person to work with, we thank you Monica! We have recommended her to some of our friends, so now we'll see what happens. Thanks again!

I had a great experience purchasing my Shih Tzu puppy, Kovu, through Monica! She was super helpful, informative, and accessible. She promptly answered messages and even face timed with me so I could see Kovu. And, she went above and beyond and flew Kovu all the way to Oklahoma to meet me to pick him up! Highly recommend Monica Dennison to anyone wanting a sweet and amazing Shih Tzu puppy!

Monica is clearly doing something great, this is our 4th shih tzu and he is absolutely a joy. He is so loving and wants to me near you at all times. The training is going very well, he seems to get it pretty easily and he was already understanding of the whole concept when we got him. Again thank you Monica for bringing such happiness to our everyday

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Monica Dennison for connecting me with my sweet Shih Tzu, Rowan. At just 2 months old, Rowan is already full of life—happy, adventurous, loving, and always ready for cuddles. He’s incredibly well-behaved for such a young pup and has the sweetest personality. Truly amazing in every way!
The whole process was smooth and easy, and I really appreciated Monica’s excellent communication throughout. She made everything feel simple and stress-free.
I would strongly recommend Monica and GoodDogs.com to anyone looking for their perfect pup. Thank you again for helping me find my little best friend!
