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.

Just a couple videos of the gang shortly after they had breakfast. They are getting more curious about everything. I put a couple giant toys in their pen this morning and it’s cute to watch them check it out. As you can see Louie, Deema and Jack are most curious but I’m trying to get Max and Kiki out of their shell. Puppies are going to be 4 weeks already this weekend, it’s crazy how time flies. So far Louie has found his forever home but the other four sweet babies are available. If you have any questions or want to see more individual pics of any of them drop me a line.

This is Max he is the smallest of the males and is a little cutie. He has a sweet soft personality. He would make a great addition to your family. Max will come with AKC registration and age appropriate vaccines. Mom is small at 7.4 and Dad is normal at 13lbs. So Max will fall in that range for weight probably on the smaller side for a male.

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.

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!
