I'm Shawny S., the breeder behind Shawny's Shih Tzus located in Hampstead, MD. Before they all leave me I give them their 8 week shots and deworm them. While our goal is to share loving puppies with families, we are still a selective program. We only breed when we’re sure we can produce the healthiest and best example of the breed possible.
