Why did you start breeding?
I raised a Shih Tzu at the age of 20 she had passed, she was my best friend and companion. When she was young she had four litters .I want to bring the same joy into other peoples lives. And that is why I started breeding.

Charlie, mom
Shih Tzu
About Charlie
Charlie is very loving, extremely easy to potty train and easy to teach basic commands. Due to the blue color she has a different look about her and her fur is soft but straight. Due to that difference from my other Shihtzu I had her genetic tested just to make sure she is of good health and 100%, the results came back as good health and 100% Shihtzu. Paperwork can be provided if needed. She has a wonderful personality and loves everyone. She’s a great mom.
Gordo, dad
Shih Tzu
About Gordo
Gordo is a gentle, playful and very intelligent pup. He loves getting belly rubs and a lap to lay on. He has a high curiosity for everything which sometimes gets him in trouble. He’s been a great dad, he likes to interact with the puppies. Gordo is AKC certified, and up to date on vaccines. No health issues noted.

I had such a great experience with Margaret. She was incredibly responsive from the very beginning and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, which made the whole process so much less stressful. She made me feel completely comfortable and never rushed or pressured me in any way. Margaret was more than willing to meet with me and let me spend time with the puppy, which truly meant a lot and showed how much she genuinely cares about her dogs and the families they go to. You can tell she wants her puppies to go to loving, safe homes. Thanks to her, my fiancé and I are now a new dog mom to the best, healthiest baby girl, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend Margaret to anyone looking for an amazing experience and a wonderful puppy!

Margaret was so responsive and great to work with. She stayed in touch and sent me regular updates about my puppy. She really cares about her dogs. Good Dog made the process so easy. I’m so glad I found Margaret / Shih Tzu Shenanigans. I couldn’t be happier with Theo!
