Meet the breeder

I'm Amanda A., the breeder behind Shih Zu’s of Long Beach located in Long Beach, CA. My goal is to provide healthy, well-socialized companions for families. My dogs are part of my family and raised inside the home with daily interaction, early socialization, and lots of love. I focus on temperament, health, and finding the perfect match for every puppy.

Q. & A. with Amanda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    What began as a personal passion grew into a dedicated journey where I learned about proper care, health testing, and raising well-socialized pups. Breeding has become more than just a hobby—it’s a way for me to give families the same happiness I’ve experienced with my own dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    I focus on quality over quantity. Every litter is planned with care, and my priority is always health, temperament, and placing each puppy in the right home. I also provide AKC registration, up-to-date vaccinations, microchipping, and a one-year health guarantee for peace of mind.

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

    Our puppies include gold and white and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    This was a really excellent experience. My son and grandson were in the area and Amanda accommodated a request on short notice to see the pups. They took a video for me as I live quite far away. I took advantage of the delivery service which also worked out exceptionally well. I have never selected a pup this way and had many reservations. Amanda was patient, answered all my questions and it could not have gone smoother. I highly recommend working with Amanda from Shih Zu's of Long Beach.

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
