Meet the breeder

I'm Debi G., the breeder behind Sapphire Shih Tzu located in Keaau, HI. Many of our puppies have become exceptional show dogs, and all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends. We only breed dogs that are healthy, have wonderful temperaments, and are outstanding examples of their breed. Holding ourselves to high standards is paramount to the well-being of our dogs and to the integrity of our program.

Q. & A. with Debi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up on a cattle ranch and have been involvedin animal husbandry since early childhood, including sheep and horses, and of course, dogs. I breed for my next show prospect, not just to produce puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    I'm very conscouse of structure and health. I'm as holistic in my approach to my animal's health as possible to produce healthy dogs. I use Puppy Culture protocol along with Puppy Start Right to raise my babies. My pups have all started training by the time they leave my house, at 10 weeks or later. I sell with a health guarantee and lifetime support.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
