Meet the breeder

I'm Kimberly L., the breeder behind Shih tzu adventures of Santa Rosa Florida located in Milton, FL. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. They are well behaved and well socialized.

Q. & A. with Kimberly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My family bred Boston terriers on our farm when I was growing up. Many years later I got a shih tzu on a whim. I realized how much I enjoyed puppies being around. It developed into a passion for breeding these amazing little fur creatures.

  • What makes your program special?

    We breed beautiful babies but specialize particularly in chocolates

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include tricolor, red and tan, chocolate, chocolate and tan, liver, and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
